Maybe I'm missing something but how does the system handle the growing list of payments that are stuck in limbo (i.e. memory) until the customer completes the payment (equivalent to abandoned carts)? Doesn't there need to be a mec

Agreed about code usage documentation, although it's nice to have a more robust manual with several nicely formatted usage examples, which would be too much to put in the code as comments. In my mind, the design document doesn't h

Does sending emails to people in your network fall into the torture category as well? (Serious question, not judging.) Because if it is, I'm wondering what is the exact pain point: composing the email? Sending it and not feeling silly?

This shouldn't be an either/or thing. Any public facing profile, especially on a platform like LinkedIn which is large and has many eyes on it, is better than none if you're looking to get the word out. I've had a Link

Like I alluded to in my comment where I said it doesn't have to be mercenary: if you would otherwise have a reason to get together with somebody in person, make plans to do it. It can be one-on-one or with others, but the point is that

Long time freelancer here (decades). I've gotten 99% of my contracts through word-of-mouth. You will get better long-term results than simply grinding through job boards (which you should still do--you never know). You will want to do

If you have time to rewrite the prototype twice, you also have time to write and maintain the documentation which would have made it unnecessary to rewrite the prototype twice. Not saying iterating the code is always bad, but it shouldn

I tend to agree about the lists. I get a couple of spam calls and texts a week, which seems to be much, much less than what most of my friends get. My father gets multiple spam calls every day. He lets them all go to voice mail, so nothing

I certainly understand that in any system (not just music), some rules can be broken at certain times for various reasons (safety, aesthetics, etc.). To combine what you're saying with what I was saying, I would like to see, at least i

Agreed, but want to add that anybody who is good at those skills will likely also be good at time management, and thus not be burdened by digital overconsumption. In other words, good habits breed other good habits.

Most of your takeaway of what I wrote is simply a fabrication, and not at all what I was saying. My main point was to note that the ruling only makes this particular act illegal for police officers. I'm not saying the police should hav
