It's funny because I feel kind of the opposite. If I post something on Medium it's because I feel the name has some gravitas associated with it and I want to take advantage of that. But their editor is pretty primitive, if you ask

I was considering buying one until I realized that it requires a powerful, external Windows computer to run. I had kind of assumed it was a standalone device. They're also getting bad press about DRM / incompatability with other V

I finished my ruby 'bootcamp' in 2014 and the two < 6 month Rails API jobs I've held have been rather shitty. So I don't feel this invincibility. For me, it's more been a process of realizing the bootcamp ads are

Unfortunately, I don't disagree with these points. But the author says at the end: "So my message is: Make Ruby Great Again." Ending the talk with this implies that this is the message they've been saying up to that poin

having left a job after three months with a verbally abusive boss, i have to commend you for being career minded and staying so long. Looking for a job now, I'm wondering where there is a significantly different dynamic. We have a lon
