I use Github extensively for my personal company, but I also use Azure DevOps (and all git-related features) extensively for a client's project. I keep seeing the Github issues being attributed to their move to Azure backend for "

I've been using Postmark for many years, and have zero complaints. Sendgrid, on the other hand, I would avoid like the plague.

Maybe instead of giving more detail about why Github is down (again), it would be better to invest in not going down in the first place?

I do this now! It is wonderful. So many unique projects being worked on that you'd never come across in your daily life. It's always fun to experience a world that is so far removed from tech, and see how clever people are at solv

It's telling that this is still empty after an hour. And I can't think of anything to add either.

Explored Osaka today. Had wagyu, sushi, and ramen. Not a bad day.

I just landed in Tokyo for the first time last night and ended up in the Don Quixote in Shibuya by accident (or adventure). What an experience! It's an invasion of all the senses!

I tried it once for the first time a couple weeks ago. $12 total. While it was "worth it" if converting the dollars to time saved, it's also telling that I haven't gone back and used it again.

I have the London board in my living room. It's one my favorite parts of the house. Can't recommend it enough.

Not quite a "typo" exactly, but more a misclick: a few weeks ago, I accidentally clicked the wrong "delete" button and removed a production ecommerce system for organic grocery delivery. Two days before Thanksgiving :(

I absolutely LOVED ChexQuest. It was fantastic. Just played it recently, in fact. I was roaming around RE-PC in Seattle eons ago, and found an old CD of the game for $1. Snatched that sucker right up.

I've only ever done one lifetime deal, and it was my Gridpane account in 2020. Best bang for my buck so far. Very happy with the service. And kudos to them, they've still honored the deal (so far!).

Completely agree, thank you for adding that. Their documentation was a head above the rest; personalizing the example API calls with your key/token included within the documentation made it trivial to try it out and see something worki

Pro: they abstracted away the intricacies of getting "KYC" approval to take payments and abstracted the merchant services integration, so a developer could be up and taking payments in hours, rather than weeks/months. Con: th

It sounds similar to saying "One billion people use Gemini" right after they force-install it on every Gmail account with no opt-out or disable button.

Requiring a candidate be under 31 years old is not new. I tried to apply for this position 5 years ago, but stopped when I discovered I was 6 months too late.

> the EU outsourced a lot of the software work to foreigners and basically ended up with low quality solutions Is that very different than the US? That seems more like a timeless endeavor, not a European tech one.

I was debating whether to specify which one, but then decided I would leave ambiguous. Frankly, they're both great. I think I have more of an affinity to Portal 1, not because it's "better", but because it was first. Tha
