Lots of folks would argue that's a feature that exposes a problem in the conceptualization and modeling of a domain.

Seriously. I would love to work at this level of abstraction in Clojure, but to do something that is trivial in Rails with something like Devise is a chore in Clojure, and you have to put it all together yourself. Of course this makes it ex

I like LiquidText. But I couldn't really do anything with the notes, so I stopped using it. I would pay $200 a year for something on iOS/MacOS that combined Tinderbox and LiquidText and let me set formatting for export.

This is what blows my mind about their decisions regarding software priorities. Being able to build Macintosh apps on a Macintosh was fundamental to the survival of the platform. Hell, there isn't even a coherent story about developing

It's "Basecamp", not "BaseCamp". I'd also recommend rethinking the phrase "work-life balance" because it creates a dichotomy contrasting work against life, which is silly. Work is merely a part of lif
