Yeah, I think this is what I'm looking to focus on. We're a small startup, so interns are a new thing. So I'm going to focus a lot on how it felt settling in, getting up to speed. What can we do better to get people comfortab

Multi-tenant is almost always my preference. Data can still be segregated per-client at that database level. Multi-tenancy with a solid session caching layer will allow you to horizontally scale as needed. Multi-instance will require settin

With Flask, another option would be to deploy with Zappa(handles deploying via AWS Lambda). This plus LambCI is becoming my go-to for personal projects.

I've been struggling with a parallel problem recently. I'm on track to go into engineering management, which I'm very interested in doing. But part of me wants to take a remote job even if it means a pay cut and moving somewh

I cooked in fine dining for 5 years. Then did 5 years in the military. Now I'm coding. If I had to do it all over, I'd probably still do se/dev, just earlier. Sucks being behind my friends when it comes to money/homeowne

A few podcasts: Joe Rogan, Tim Ferris, and The Art of Manliness. Mainly because they interview a lot of different people. I skip a lot, but it exposes me to a bunch of new books and things. I listen to other podcasts, but they're norma

Ha! I just thought about doing something similar yesterday. Except, I'm looking to focus more on dope books. And maybe eventually add course of fire tracking and similar things.

My current job allows me to get to work some time between 8 and 10. As winter has gone on, I've definitely pushed closer and closer to 10 to get some daylight in the morning.

Not really a site, but plenty of MUDs back in the day. Can't find an MMORPG that quite scratches the same itch.

Biggest downside: a lack of established process. Big corporate had too much process at times, but there was normally decent enough tooling around everything. And there were teams to do everything, which really allowed you to focus. Advantag

Kotlin. I'd like to work to build a multiplatform project, sharing as much of the code as possible. It's a young enough technology, and changing rapidly enough, that it might be good fodder to build a blog around.

In the same vein, I'm excited about the Light L16[0]. But with the hefty price tag, I don't know if I can get on it this early. If takes off, then the price is comparable to a DSLR and a few lenses, but right now I'm hesitant

OEF here. We used our advanced scientific resources to create mine rollers that cost incredible amounts of money. They were defeated by 30 cent worth of wire that allowed the pressure plates to moved 12 feet in front of the explosives.
