Looks great. But how about that mural?? The main takeaway I had from that video is I need to pick up sponge painting in my kid's rooms.

This looks amazing. I actually spent several months making an awesome Mint killer. The only problem was getting access to bank data that wasn't crazy expensive. If this pans out, I've got a beautiful app ready to roll! Anyone want

I wouldn't mind paying less in taxes. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE DEFICIT??? The deficit hasn't mattered to anyone before now, esp not in the last 8 years. Can't get any worse than it has been already for years now.

Watching that video semi-inspired me to become a person that had clothes worth caring about and looking half-way decent on a day-to-day basis. But then I looked down at my go-to fully-remote attire of a t-shirt and gym shorts and thought &q

There are certainly times I regret having so much space for our kids to clutter, but we ultimately bought it as a place for us to grow into. My wife is expecting our 6th child later this year, and our house has 6 bedrooms. So in that sense,

That is a fair point. Instead of the word "quite", it might have been better to use the word "more".

I do native iOS development. I'm very much a proponent of remote work, and I wish more Bay Area companies would embrace it. If done right, it can lead to higher satisfaction from employees as well as increased productivity and reduced

I'd have to look at the bill but I think that it averages out to be around $250-350/month for electricity.

That was actually an onerous task at first. But I bought my wife a Neato robot vacuum a few years back and it has been such a nice thing to have.

Our utility bills certainly have gone up, which we aren't thrilled with. We are considering some solar panel options to help bring our carbon footprint down. Being fully remote, I try to make up for that by not driving very much :) Ove

Yes, I guess 8,000 sq ft translates to 743 meters :)

I am not a minority race, but Utah is becoming quite diverse. My personal opinion is that it is a welcoming place and is a great place for families to raise their children.

We decided to move to Utah. We have some family here and the tech scene is actually quite strong. Overall it has been a great move, and besides the nice people that we met in California, we haven't really missed the craziness of the ra

We moved to Utah where the tech scene is actually quite strong, and the cost of living is significantly less. We bought an 8k sq ft house for the price of many 1,500 sq ft town homes we had been putting offers in on in California. It can be

Wow, this resonates with me. In 2013 my wife and I were living in the Bay Area and had just welcomed our third child into the family. I was making 105k/yr at Apple (which seemed like a ton at the time!) but I felt like I was saving ver

I think the value of using an IDE and having access to a debugger outweighed the clunkiness of the stuff I didn't understand (like public static void main(String[] args)). So much of web development comes across as formidable voodoo be

What a cool service. The spending by our country (and the associated deficits and debt) shouldn't have to be a partisan issue clouded by smoke and mirrors and political handwringing. I didn't care much for how Ballmer ran Microsof

Preach! This resonates so well with me, thank you for taking the time to share. My company has started implying they want to move away from new remote hires and I can't understand it. Good remote workers, who are disciplined (as you sa

I've been thinking a lot about this lately and I've decided that working remote IS the most important benefit of my job. I've been fully remote doing iOS development for nearly four years now, and I am not interested in enter

This is what matters to my job satisfaction: 1. Fully remote 2. Great pay 3. Developing for a platform I am passionate about (iOS) I am fortunate enough to have all three of these things right now, but anytime I've considered making a

I am remote, and have been for the last 3.5 yrs. As a software developer I find that the times I am least productive are when I need to work in an office. It is loud and distractions are everywhere. People stop by your desk to chat and ask
