I was working on building a campaign for some friends and got tired of looking for and cross-referencing lookup tables across a whole bunch of books. I was also using multiple tables that had compound lookups which started to get cumbersome

It might depend on where you're located. My wife was recently looking for a < $1000 bike in Denver and it involved going all over town and checking every store that sold bikes. $2000-$3000 was generally what stores had on the shelf

I think the only times it ever really makes sense to use logs to generate metrics are fairly limited: 1. You haven't yet instrumented the application with metrics yet. 2. The logs are from a third party tool that don't emit metric

This is a big reason why I talk compensation up front during initial conversations. I'm not sinking hours of time into an interview process only to find out they're only offering less than half of what I'm expecting. Plenty o

Its interesting to me that you bring up 9/11 since that was my first thought as well. I remember that time as a surreal haze of watching the news with a near constant "is this real and happening?" thoughts running through my

Many now have an anchor directly to the recipe. I try to book mark those so I don't have to read about the author pontificating on the changing of the seasons or how an ingredient in the dish reminds them of childhood for the 800th tim

What countries are you interviewing with? I'm in the US and on a remote team. We have a counterpart team based out of Bangalore. The biggest challenge for us is simply the time zone difference. There is nearly very little time where th
