Ugh, regardless of what we say we wish to do on this post, what I'm sure many of us lack is external motivation to do it. One app to help solve that is called Spar, developed by a friend of a friend ( https://itunes.apple.co

Right, I was just about to reply with a similar response to another post. I went to Virginia Tech, lived in Northern VA for a while, and now I'm here in SF and it's like night and day. I did not believe that being here would be su

In 2012ish as a freshman intern at Microsoft, I asked Will Kennedy (then CVP in Office) how did he feel about people pirating Office apps. He said that they would rather permit people to use illegal versions of Office than have them use the

Yeah ultimately what all this is trying to achieve is to make JavaScript have the basic properties and benefits of many other languages. Unlike other languages, JavaScript was developed in 10 days in 1995 and was never intended to be used a

Yeah that's awesome! I still reference the Angular seed project whenever doing a quick front-end for a prototype.

So that's not entirely true depending on how you use the product. We were attempting to use Stripe for a contract-like setup, e.g. person A pays person B, but person B doesn't get paid until some event occurs, and we hold on to th

Hmm digging through our old code looks like we never tried to use Stripe, for reasons unknown to me (maybe their support/requirements were different back then, maybe it didn't work for our product, idk). But yeah, especially after

I don't know the proportion, but coincidentally enough, I work at a startup that uses Stripe and we used to support bitcoin transactions (and thus refunds). I just asked a friend who's been here longer why we're not supportin

Haha fair argument. As someone pointed out - it's very easy to incur technical debt in Perl. It's a dynamic language with virtually non-existant dev tools and lacking open source community. I personally can't wait to go back

Hahaha too true, too true. My lingering loyalty to MS obliges me to defend this though. There were custom shells, dev tools, and compilers for almost every major project combined with Visual Studio and C-family languages (which is an extrem

Yeah, I think it's due to their paranoia of taking a picture of anything work related: monitors, whiteboards with notes, papers, etc.
