I've used the RailsCasts theme[1] for ST2 for 3 years now. I've tried other ones but always went back. I even use it for non-Rails development. It's just got the right amount darkness and text color contrast which benefits re

Web security because I'm a web developer who definitely builds unsecure applications. Unfortunately (and incorrectly, IMO) the full stack dev market doesn't really value security too much as it pertains to marketable job skills. F

What's your opinion on Highcharts usage longterm? I find it's great to get something up and running, but I've found myself hitting limitations, especially when it comes to custom design. But it's possible I may just be u

In my opinion, the major benefit of Uber/Lyft is also the accountability. Having an easily-accessible paper trail of who my drivers were ensures I won't fret about losing things. If I have a poor experience, my rating actually mat

This is an especially poignant story, and it's hard to not feel bad for this driver. On the other hand, people face investment risk all the time, i.e. when franchising a restaurant. When Chipotle or whoever comes in and devours the fas

Strange, I actually disliked Eat Club when my former employer used them. Also, Caviar has a huge business catering component and has Square money, they're not going anywhere for a long, long time and are actually my favorite in your li

It depends on the company you're interviewing with. If, for example, you founded a tech company, the way you described it would differ whether you were talking to: your parents, a tech journalist, a potential client, a potential cofoun

Thanks for the feedback! I settled on that price for a lot of reasons, but mostly because: 1. it helps you get better jobs, faster. That to me is worth thousands, much less $39. 2. I share techniques that lose a bit of their value if every

First of all, I never get tired of seeing you post in these threads. Keep it up and thanks for being so transparent every single time. Second, I'm surprised that ads work to such a significant degree for DRP. My assumptions off the bat

People are generally not taught how to interview well. To most, it's not a skill to be honed. I find this occurs often in software development, when engineers are asked to participate in the interview process. This is why you still get
