You’d be surprised, a few times I’ve had to resort to using commit emails to reach someone because their contact information wasn’t anywhere else. I’m not spamming, and I’ve never gotten a negative response. It’s just that some people don’t

I’m surprised this hasn’t been mentioned: Can I read the code? This applies to everything open source, including languages. If you open up the codebase and go “wtf” that’s a problem. If you open up the codebase and go “I don’t understand th

“Jarlstrom’s interest stemmed from a red-light-running ticket his wife received in 2013. He spent three years analyzing the method for calculating the duration of a yellow light and found that the formula failed to account for drivers who m

I deleted my Facebook. Two things I would’ve liked: - a tool to add exif location data back to my images. In the export the image metadata (like location) is in a separate file. I ended up writing a quick script to do this. - a tool to mess

All of the above is spot on. Except: “How could it be anything else...” - my wife is french and one thing that constantly surprises her is how little we get from our government for the taxes we pay. It is possible to make government more ef

+1 to figuring out what you want to do and then doing that. I was in your position a few years ago and what helped me was talking to more experienced folks 1 on 1. Reach out if you’d like to chat.
