I've used that and regexbuddy and others over the years. Almost anything the gives you some visual rendering of what's going on is helpful. Personally, I've taken to using the regex stuff in the Jetbrains IDEs, mostly becau

It's likely because I buy 'individual' license, so my costs are lower, but I'm not sure what's all that 'ridiculous' about the subscription. If you pay for a year, you get that version forever, just witho

The few success stories I've known from upwork have been people who managed to find one sharp person, then went direct with them ASAP, and left upwork behind.

20 years ago, someone stole my credit card information and bought some stuff as me. I'm in Michigan, and they sent a bed and mattress to Florida. I called the store first, asking about the charge. Verified some part of the card numb

No idea why "story points" or "cups of coffee" or "shirt sizes" have much relation to time. I mean... I get it, but... many places I've worked also go to pains to say "this isn't hours, we'

assuming that held true across the board, that's a ~35% reduction. What if it was only half that? Round down, and say generic policy might 'only' save 15%. 15% of 10s of billions of dollars (hundreds? can't find full

@jetbrains: Please add support for your JetBrains 'space' as a task server in your IDEs. Yes, there's already YouTrack tickets for this, from months ago.
