What are some good things you have seen that are specific to remote companies to build up culture?

Ok I feel like I can give some good advice here. I wrote 4 Django apps over the last few years some for work and some during vacation/downtime (and sold a couple). One was a car reservation system with reminder emails. The others were

Absolutely. After 20 years of commuting 30-60 min each way there is zero chance (short of economic collapse) I will ever work full time in the office again. My employer benefits as I am on a little earlier each morning than I would be if I

Any experiences - good or bad with LiveCode? I'm trying to decide if it's suitable for internal android apps that need rapid development more than hardware access/super scalability.

Absolutely - nothing beats reading, highlighting and making notes in the margin!

Ok this is a great point you make! "Python is a very complex dynamic system that pretends to be a very simple dynamic system." Python is easy to get started with but surprisingly deep to learn and I would argue not as straightforw

Thanks for your comment, very insightful. One quibble - in Python - for a language with preferably one way to do things there are a lot of choices! In Java you are going to get strong typing and you are going to structure your code in an OO

OP here. Thanks for replying. Most of my Django code is dead simple - validation, business logic, crud operations. Loops, conditionals, the occasional string manipulation, dicts, sets and exception handling. Very rarely a list comp. Almost
