That makes sense to move the bus actually. Christopher McCandless died there, so why would the tourist fare any better? Sort of sad to see them move the bus, but it's probably the right thing to do. Would be nice to see them move it to

People don't read blogs anymore, but they still read blog posts. Let me explain: In the past people may have visited certain blogs directly, or maybe they followed a blog through an RSS feed. Nowadays, a more likely scenario is someone

I landed my first job as full-time professional software developer doing React-Native development right before the Coronavirus pandemic struck. By the time I finished filling out all of the hiring paperwork, drug tests, etc., they reneged o

Dealing with Apple and the App Store is such a pain. As a cross platform (React/React-Native) developer, I worry about supporting iOS users last because of all the hoops Apple makes you jump through to develop and publish an app. When

DuckDuckGo actually does a better job of indexing all of my blog posts than Google does. I discovered this when attempting to use Google to search for one of my blog posts using a domain specific query("site:myblog.com") and was u

I noticed that too. @DHH appears to have been one of the biggest names/voices to speak out against Lambda School recently. In their defense however, I follow a YouTuber that goes by "Dummy Codes" that landed a pretty good job

This is a disturbing trend that's been developing over the past 100 years, and I believe it is the main reason for our country's stagnating economic growth. Let's take a look! 100 years ago, companies on average dispersed 90%

I've run into this problem as well. I used to use a Chrome extension which I authored that saved all of the pages I browsed to the wayback machine (in another tab), and I would frequently need to clear my cookies to keep the thing work
