Some of these are pretty good, but mostly just intuitive stuff. Really wish it was to more than just an infographic style png giving broad strokes. Things like "You are only strong as your weakest link," "There is no silver b

This sucks, but unfortunately is something that is not unlikely to happen when one's whole service is hosted or relies on a third party API for its data. I recall something similar happening with a service that relied on the Google Map

$5,000 for the trip isn't a huge leap for typical business class to London. Economy alone is usually like $1,200-1,500rt. This isn't some huge exorbitant leap like costing $30k for a first-class trip. It certainly doesn't com

I agree in theory. In practice it came after I had an offer, an impending start date, and had put in notice to my current job. It was an onboarding day where I was filling out tax and HR forms. Hard to suddenly say no out of principle knowi
