Sorry for the negative feedback, but I'm not sure on the practicality of some of your main features: > Sidenote: all bars are scraped from yelp. Is it only bars? If so this is going to be a no-go for a ton of users. Coffee is a much

Yes - they're inappropriate for open offices and there's a very good chance that you're bothering someone. Best way to handle this is communicate. Last office mate I had asked if he could bring his in, and since it was some

I mean this in the kindest way possible, but do you think it's appropriate to teach such new CSS selectors? I just bounced around the slider on your featured video and I'm seeing stuff that only hits 85-90% on caniuse.com which is

Yeah - I envy those with Apple Watches since that's the best one on the market (IMO). I've been waiting to pull the trigger on jumping ecosystems but it's a big change. Android warning: I've used a Samsung Galaxy smart

What makes me disgusted on this is how many Sears employees got taken along for the ride while people like Eddie Lampert greatly profited while company tanked. I highly recommend the following podcast by the Grubstakers as it illustrates ex

I find it depressingly hilarious that there's an ad half-way down that says this: > Don’t miss: The super rich elite have more money than they know what to do with Hrmmmm... Maybe, just maybe , wealth distribution has something to

Yeah here's the thing - if you get a better offer... Leave. If you operate otherwise you're a fool.

I'm speaking anecdotally but would 100% posit that this is true. One of the biggest things I'm learning as an adult in a capitalistic society is that empathy is an anti-pattern to how most medium-to-larger sized corporations opera

Right on. GitLab has everything right there for me from SCM, to it's own Docker container registry, to static site hosting capabilities (think generated documentation), issues management, etc etc. I've tested the setup of many of

I have multiple strategies because I've got one foot in Docker and one foot in the "old-school" realm of simple web servers. Code rollbacks are simple as heck - I just keep the previous Docker container(s) up for a potential

GitLab CI/CD is amazing. I run a private instance on a VPS with a single worker (probably the simplest setup you can imagine) and it's astoundingly powerful. I can't say enough great things about it - solutions like Jenkins a

They have specific solutions that are integrated into things like SharePoint to handle this so they're just putting the hurt on the big guys in order to get more monies. Total Microsoft play on that for sure - I've never ran into

Everyone listen to this - this is 100% accurate and SUPER applicable. Have reached out via email - thanks for the offer to chat in your other comment =)

Right on! Yeah - I would love to learn more about what the bigger guys are doing. Everything you're saying is 100% something I deal with on a day-to-day basis, and ongoing support is a huge struggle to workout with the companies I&#x27

Yep - it's definitely that, although I typically avoid the nomenclature because laypeople think "robotics" which is definitely not what I do!

They're entry level positions usually so figuring out their processes is typically not that difficult. Often I will not work directly with them vs. having a big sheet of instructions delivered with a ton of bullet points. I also get a

Yep! Sparingly but for some Windows-based tasks you can't beat it. Also it's a solid solution that has great support/devs behind it so it definitely has a home in my toolbox!

80-90% of what I do doesn't have an API. If there's an API that's functional enough you're darn straight I'm going to be using that vs. Puppeteer, etc!

YES. I didn't even know that nomenclature before you said it... I employ an ELK and TIG stack for a huge part of what I do. You can very much say that I "process mine" my own process. I also have a ton of regex capability tha

Both - but I'm more tooled to solve one-off situations. I have been able to do the whole "copy-paste" resell a few times which has been financially lucrative! My GitLab is my toolbox in so many ways and I've got a wealth
