In the same way that I find Mealpal infinitely more satisfying than any food delivery, I am over the moon about shopping for groceries online and picking them up in person. The interaction with the business I am paying is valuable to me. I

I think you’re right to be worried. The piercing of the Bay Area reality distortion zone, combined with the unprecedented embrace of remote teams, may well mean that for the vast majority of tech workers their value will be judged against s

I just spent an hour in JQBX, my first experience. I haven't had so much fun on the internet in a long, long time. How will I get any work done now that I know?

I'm an old-timer and I haven't actually used Pinboard in years. I'm curious how others are finding it useful in an era of synced browsers and saved tab groups etc. If there is any utility at all, the paid plan is a steal.
