To elaborate a little more on jonstewarts excellent answer: It sounds like you're comfortable with two of them because, in your words, "Two are like I was". You manage 4 people. You're lucky that you can relate to two

I'm not seeing that they're claiming to be better than anything, just a, "self-hosted alternative to services like Evernote (R), Microsoft OneNote (R) or Google Keep (R)." Are you a contributor to Wallabag?

I graduated from high school in the 80s. My first computer was a TRS-80 WITH a cassette tape to save my programs to. How RS went from being ubiquitous to a laughing stock is beyond me, but I remember seeing the downfall during the 90s whe

I don't understand if you like Fog Creek's environment or you don't. At any rate, I'm so over the open floor plan/cubicle mazes. I get really distracted by the doppler effect that conversations (sometimes LOUD conv

Unions aren't the panacea you think they are. My experience with unions has been that they cater to the lowest common denominator. My salary increases were built into the union contract as was my "work out of class". I cou

As a Kickstarter backer too, we've pointed out to you guys for months that your pricing scheme was confusing and didn't make any sense. You haven't cleared it up any since.

Two books that aren't mentioned, surprisingly, are: The Power of Now - Eckhart Tolle The Four Agreements - Don Miguel Ruiz In my humble opinion, these two books alone, have the ability to change one's life.

I have often wondered why Microsoft wouldn't just release all versions of VS for free. VS is arguably the go-to tool for developing on the other paid Microsoft products (SQL Server, Azure), so it makes sense that this would attract MO

We used to have a locked "oh shit" box. I was supposed to put our DR (which we did actually have) and a host of other things in it (it was suggested we even put a loaded gun in it) to get by with in the case of a total disaster.

With babies, this is a recommended method (cradling them upside down, letting gravity work, while also giving minor back blows). However, this method would be entirely impossible with a fully grown adult. The problem is also that the obje

Calling me "ageist" is a bit extreme. I'm not aware of any law in this country (US) that allows one to hire a 5 year old, regardless of certifications. What I am suggesting is that companies (who may or may not know the valu
