   Your response is quite good, and I’ve tried to mimic this as well. I don’t think it happens often enough (I know I certainly have missed providing a courtesy response), unfortunately. As people just get bombarded so often with sales emails,

   Currently we're experimenting with namespacing per "ownership" of that namespace. For instance, if the interactor is in charge of onboarding a new account, we have it under something like this: Account::SetupOnboarding Note t

   My team discovered the interactor pattern about 8 months ago and never looked back. It’s worked extremely well and easy to read. We’ve found it necessary to maintain a sensible naming convention for the interactors and to namespace them. Th

   Level is a pretty well designed product. Tried it briefly and I really did like it. My team was already using other communication tools (not Slack, but email and other options) and using Level might have become an eventuality if I or someon

   I’d be curious to know how they ensured the printed heart’s electrical circuits communicated properly. A normal functioning heart has its own pacemaker, sending electrical signals in a coordinated manner. I suspect that this is what the res

    I agree. The 16/8 seems to be beneficial from my own personal experience and much more sustainable.

    Your comment about config.sys and autoexec.bat brought a smile to me. Definitely good old times. Also miss messing around hexadecimal editors to cheat in games.

    Absolutely. First thing I did when I landed was view source code. Regardless, nice piece of work.

    Interesting re: running. A couple of years back, one of my colleagues worked part time as he came from a wealthy family. Work was more of a hobby for him, like 1-2 days per week. For me, the money I made from work was something real. I need

    Agreed. It's a pretty good UI considering the complexity. My 7 year old frequents there and gets around without any problems or asking how to use the site.

    Thanks @jarland for chiming into this thread. I love how DO has evolved over the past several years and want to comment about that. I use DO for production and have gradually migrated my infrastructure away from AWS and Linode to Digital Oc

    It's almost a right of passage to be part of the "trade", so to speak. Same thing goes for doctors. When a doctor recognizes the counterparty is a a fellow physician, the conversation changes to reflect that. There are except

    Purely anecdotal, but as a Simpsons fans many years ago (and not really following the show anymore), I think there are many of us who grew up with the Simpsons who simply don't have the time (as we've gotten older and have other c

    I think a lot of this boils down to having the right amount of introspection and insight on the part of the individual.

    To create the site itself, it's free. This includes hosting the page and the app's management of the SSL certificate, should you decide to use a custom domain. Thanks @rookie for mentioning the usage-based pricing (ie. the catch)

    As a shareholder, I'd say the best way to put this to use is to buy back shares. Although it's tempting to see them enter new product categories, I'd be afraid they would just blow money on things that ended up failing.
