   A story of how a junior dev becomes a little less junior. The original implementation was the 'obvious' one, and not terrible. Then experience of the live system + MySQL demonstrated problems with that. So a non-obvious but better

   After the 2016 models came out I felt like I'd won the lottery when I found a 2015 model going cheap-ish. It's been a long wait to upgrade

    I will add to the anecdata. My cholesterol has been creeping up since I hit 30. At the time it started increasing, I was doing something like 15 hours vigorous exercise a week and eating pretty healthy. Not perfect, but pretty good. Doing t

    One of my favourite examples of this is an episode of Mad Men (mild spoiler) where at the start of an episode one of the accounts guys is riding a ride-on lawn mower through the office (new client), and at the end of the episode a drunk sec

    > In many cases, what you're working on doesn't have an answer on the internet. That usually means the problem is hard or important, or both. For me, it’s usually meant I’m doing something so wrongheaded it’s never come up befo

    TFA excludes it, but from page 12 of the filing [0] there's an example of someone with measurably worse performance getting promoted ahead of a female colleague: "... In another example, a female employee who worked at Blizzard En

    Surly made a couple bike you could put fat tires on - their touring bike and a cyclocross bike. I don’t know if they’re still available but they were selling them in the mid-2000s
