When I see non uppercased SQL I think I’m reading it from some hipster that just discovered e e cummings and that makes me angry. Added to the fact that I’m writing SQL so I’m already angry (thanks poster above! I’m stealing that). But ser

Also it assumes that writers don’t change their style. In this case all a fake writer has to do is drop a word like “lodestar” in the document and everyone thinks Mike Pence wrote it. If I were the author I would take my own essay and then

I can understand filing for benefits if you were terminated by Uber (first one was for low ratings) but one of the plaintiffs quit because of low pay. Quitting for non egregious reasons (bad work environment, harassment, etc) is usually a b

If you can move them over to a slackbot and direct people to a slack channel to use it. Then you get the benefit of * everyone using the latest version * a history of commands run. People can then use it as a built in FAQ and see what to

But if you borrowed against your house you are liable for the debt. With most startups failing you are going to be on the hook. So the risk is losing your house vs making $1M more on $20M that only has a 1% chance of succeeding.
