Ha! A car? That's cheap! Big companies can't risk going with a freelancer (who might go out of business or be booked when they need updates) so they put out an RFP to software firms. A month or so of upfront design (wireframes, screen desig

Matt Wynne raised a good point in a recent talk about hexagonal (Ports & Adapters) architecture that I agree with. People are exploring new ideas for building software. Why is that so wrong? Instead of attacking people for adding unnece

Author here - I'd be keen to hear if anyone has had success with different productivity systems for breaking done the big goals into smaller items. I've had varying amounts of success with pomodoros and personal kanban - but always interest

I'll be "that guy". You should change your Github OAuth permissions. I'm never giving you access to private repos - and would only give you access to public repos if you were creating a repo for me to do the Code Garage stuff (it isn't clea

Why does the account creation screen use a completely different layout/style (stock bootstrap)? That was very jarring to me. I'll assume you just haven't gotten around to changing that too, but it ruined the effect.

Are you restarting the emulator often? You can just start it up once and then redeploy the app to the already running emulator...

Aside from the book recommended in the post, Learned Optimism by Seligmen is another dealing with "learned helplessness" and how to combat pessimism. It frames the struggle as optimist vs pessimist instead of growth vs fixed mindset.

I can understand a tape delay during the weekdays - hell, I'd even prefer being able to watch at night instead of at 2:30pm EST. But for weekends, it is so stupid. I saw the 400 IM was on at 2:30pm today, so I turned on the tv to NBC - only

Neat - I've been using http://pomodorocrate.com for this, but I'll give this one a try. I like the github sign in option. Do you have any plans for a badge/widget thing that I can put on my blog ("X has done Y pomodoros this week"-type of
