   That's a really important skill to have -- the ability to assess social skills as well as technical prowess. I find trello pretty effective for daily goals. In terms of a mature bug tracking system, I'm a fan of phabricator. For i

    Would love help simplifying this code (it looks really ugly right now) I am considering redesigning the api using lxml instead of BeautifulSoup for performance reasons.

    I'm a fan of plaus, academia, and mendley, etc. I wish there was more of an outlet/community for people to contribute their own research (in a way that made the research repeatable and improvable)
