Not OP, but had a similar experience. The key, I've found, is figuring out the role that maximizes your strengths, and converting your current role into that (gradually) or finding a company that has a position that matches. For exampl

A few resources I've found useful: - lighthouse ( https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse ). You can implement this with their Node CLI to automate in your pipeline and output the results somewhere. - calibre ( h

To say it's misleading is unfair considering the language is pulled from one of the testimonials the author has received. I don't interpret "fight" to mean "help cure the disease," but rather "help allevia

There's a difference between engaging with people who have different viewpoints and being friends with them. I consider friendship to be an endorsement of the other person. Same for "loving your enemies". MLK is advocating fo

Awesome read. Can anyone explain the quote below? I don't really understand how the minesweeper understood the signal. --- The Coast Guard amphibian gained altitude and flew off. (I learned later that he headed for a squadron of minesw

There's a chance their customers were told earlier. I assume they'd also make an effort to reach out to people with balances as the deadline approached.

I think you're right that stops will be longer, but it's my understanding they'll also be less frequent and they'll cover greater distances than a regular subway track (in say, NY). So you'll end up getting there fa

Alexa is the big one. We also connect into Hue Lights, Nest, Wemo, August locks, and basically anything that offers an API. We offer a few different triggers/responses with IFTTT which creates a lot of cool possibilities.
