Eh, or what about loyalty to amazon? If they had honestly messaged me and said that because of the age of my account and amount I had spent that I would get to be part of the first group in line to purchase, I might have even bought one ju

Interesting idea. I hope to at least see more like this, even if this fails. What I'd really like is to be able to tip articles, posts, apps, and websites. I don't frequent the New York Times enough to justify a subscription, e

That's very good insight. Do you know of any good books or resources on this topic?

Recruiting and hiring are garbage right now in the industry. Part of the problem is easy to recognize -- idiots designing interviews. This is where the puzzle crap comes from, as well as theoretical stuff that's far removed from the

At 27, I still feel old in the same regard as a lot of the ways the author is talking about. A lot of things I'm seeing reeks of being a fad. I'd rather avoid naming any technology or framework, but my instinct has been to avoid

I've always found that to be a perverse incentive model. I don't know how to do any better though. Maybe shaming companies that use OS projects heavily into donating? Not really sure how to scale that either.

I'm glad this sort of lateral-thinking-esque thing can still make it to the front page. I don't write poetry, but this seems serendipitously related to other things I've been thinking about. I've been getting into lifti

I don't get it, and I've really tried. I'm referring to the keto diet (though this person's approach is obviously extreme overkill). I absolutely love meat, but when I go that low on carbs, I feel like crap. And sure,

I wish long form, informative articles like this had a way to donate a small amount of money to show appreciation. I don't read any particular news outlet enough to get an exclusive subscription with them, but I'd love to reward

I went into it for the "feather in my cap" and "fun experience" aspect as well. It's grueling, stressful, and the piddly amount of money you'll make for it doesn't do much for motivation. I stopped about

I've heard some bad things about Kinesis in general. Why not have your cron job just put the logs onto S3 directly? I've used Lambda a bit. The debugging process can be a pain, since you're forced the upload a ZIP file, and
