I don't see what I do as "my work" and I assume my team is just earnestly trying to get our projects done. I'm not naive - I know some personalities like jockeying for career capital and all that but it's not constr

Your brand will have lost 3 years of opportunity to build up its footprint on an alternative - for whatever that's worth.

Not code but I always marvel at the relational databases of creaky Enterprise behemoths - SharePoint, SAP, etc...

The advice for quitting non-problematic drinking is "just stop", so at the point where someone is asking for help I think it's worth taking a bit more seriously. I also interpreted his timeframe uncharitably closer to: "

People talk about crypto cycles like they talk about metal cycles and I'm not sure how to distinguish the two (and that's why I'm not invested in either).

Privacy - just the general desire to participate in crypto as if it were cash, like originally intended. Right now if you aren't running a miner, you've lost that ability without tumblers.

I wonder how many writers write about word processors when they get writer's block. A bit like devs making dev tools.

Can't have the sales guy invent functionality out of thin air without a call. Oh uh, yeah... XYZ - it totally does that and definitely doesn't function like a prototype.

I think the Internet rewired my brain. I find it much more comfortable to read a book using the Kindle app's Continuous Scroll setting.

Do you really think he thinks about it like that? I'm all for systemic change as much as the next person, but c'mon. He's probably full of himself and thinks he's uniquely equipped to direct great works. Just like Gates

Heads up, I get a page titled "Divya's Page Landing Tests ..." When I reach your website through Google ads. Very cool though. I would have loved this for my grandfather when he was still going places a few years ago.

>scratch a relatives itch I count myself extremely lucky to have found an 'ideas guy' (and people person, and bookkeeper, money raiser, etc etc...) who came out of the world of the 90s and 2000's where he'd fly around

Everywhere I go, I feel like I have free speech by default. I suppose it's my privilege that I feel like that, but I digress. When free speech is explicitly advertised, it smells.

I would liken unions to corporations rather than cartels.

I can only assume that was an aggressive answer to "what if their playlist is, like, REALLY big?"

You can get a pretty good csv dump of your play music profile through Google's general data export tool. Their migration to YouTube music is a good opportunity to see what else is out there. I'm leaning towards prime music, since

Do you think what makes you interested in [topic] now would've been relevant when you were a child? If I'm being honest with myself, my answer is probably no. "If only they taught _" for me, can be boiled down to "I

Red on white is almost indistinguishable to me from black on white. If you're trying to use red to indicate a state, it fails on me and I'm sure many others.

Given equal distribution of both groups, the misery should equalize and it'd be a net win for corporate profit and the environment.

YNABaaS brings automatic integrations to the table and the 'sync' story is, obviously, much easier since it doesn't involve Dropbox. That's all I noticed. I did a trial and just was not impressed. In my opinion, using th

I mean it's dramatic irony if they don't realize they're breaking one web 1.0 thing while grousing about another.

If I were FIRE I would probably spend all of my time going to court for stuff like this. I'm surprised there's not at least 1 rich person dedicated to being a righteous shit disturber.

You charge people 10bux. Something Awful is still chugging away on that model.

There are so many of these companies. Lil' mini-SAPs running around, deploying high touch sales teams to large companies and get foisted on whoever's unlucky enough to do work for them... A place I contract for did this, and then

They're tearing down some walls to fit a few more desks in (the openest of open offices). I've been living like a college student for 10 years now following FIRE blogs, so getting fired wouldn't be completely unwelcome.

It's a testament to how crappy my code is, but I find myself having to give it type hints too often, and it'll give up on spitting out warnings if the file gets too large. There's a perverse thought. I can bypass warnings-as-

Have you tried earbuds v headphones? Anything that sits on / rattles my cartilage is excruciating, but after finding a comfortable pair of earbuds with the big silicone tip on them, I can go a full workday no problem.

Sounds like that office could use a few opinionated/retired software developers in it.
