Yep, daily, and then we recite the same thing at our daily morning standup. Don't think I'll share a real one, they're probably proprietary and no upside for me in that. But I can give you a fake one. Below is the top of my file. The last e

It's very nice, I hope it does well. I may have missed it, but does this do collaborative editing between 2 or more people? That would be the thing that could convince me to use this or something like it. Otherwise it's just a really nice

OK, so how do you deal with a world where: - Many people never abandon their primary identity email. - But many other people often abandon their email identity. - You don't want to use a social network as the gatekeeper to *your* si

I've dropped two interesting online courses because I can't devote the time. The maddening thing is they're canned videos that have already been produced, and quizzes and tests are graded automatically, so the only thing that requires real
