Seems sorta similar to this post I saw a few years ago: https://workplace.stackexchange.com/questions/23920/ Best of luck. Definitely leave, should probably talk to a lawyer, and 100% follow their directions.

I've been teaching some folks how to code. It's helped a bit. I also have been reading more business books - things like the personal MBA [1], The Goal, how to win friends and influence people (old versions before he died). Basica

Is there a definition of "a few collaborators" anywhere? How many people, and is it per repo or per paid account? Really need more information before I decide if GitHub continues to get my $7/month or not.

I've used TeamSpeak for that at an old job. We used it for pairing and team meetings. We couldn't all fit in the office at the same time (10 people, 100 square feet w/desks wasn't happening), so we had team meetings over

Thank you so much! I was an ebook subscriber, and I was really sad to hear that it was no longer going to be around. I see your comment about open sourcing the template you have. Will there be an archive of back issues available in press-re

Things I've been reprimanded for in this environment include... - leaving my phone on do-not-disturb for days at a time, but still checking voicemail - leaving my phone unplugged. Nobody noticed for a week. Then the CEO called it. Can&

"OS X is very good at not having hardware compatibility issues" is a really, really old (and flawed) argument. The thing that makes OS X so darn "stable" is that they write drivers for a very limited set of hardware - th
