The problem usually isn't the next layer of abstraction. NextJs and Remix are just fine (I don't have experience with RedwoodJs). The issue is that developers tend to put "Here be dragons!" in their mental map of whateve

I would love to see an accounting system that was designed for this kind of uncertainty or incomplete data in general. For instance, allow me to say that there's about $5000 in the odd account with no API access or that I spend about h

It sounds like you're going from success to success, big career mistakes usually end in the unemployment office or at least a demotion. Your old coworker the director is probably making himself miserable because his cousin is a CTO and

I think if the policy was "calculus isn't an important goal, we should actually teach stats" the reaction would be different. I give the edge to calculus because it allows students to go right into physics and be able to grad

I've often made this point to encourage people to vote even if they are indifferent to candidates or the races aren't competitive. It signals that you're paying attention and expect your interests to be taken into considerati

Really well done keeping this simple! It's also another one of those situations where good design principles and coding practices pay off. If the app is a tangled mess of interconnected services, scripts, and cron jobs this kind of tra

Is there a particularly high failure rate with these missiles or is this a widespread problem in systems where the engine ignites after launch? What do they do after? Is the site repaired? Scrapped?

If it's unclear what a good strategy would even look like then you're down to playing by intuition and improvisation. It sounds fun in the way board games were fun as children, before anyone knew about an optimal strategy for this

Just something that occurred to me: You could make a link allowing them to explain by email their need for a no-CC-required trial. That way you make a little speedbump and get a an email you know they use to market to (with opt-in). In real

This is the first time I've heard someone express the idea that there is a silent majority of people who would prefer earlier sunrises to later sunsets, very interesting! Intuitively I disagree but I have no evidence and I'm sure
