+1 for this. I use Posthaven because it's the simplest way for me to publish blog posts plain and simple (and has been for years.) A lot of devs get excited by the idea of building a blog and not of actually writing the content. You&#x

Yes, exactly. The point I make in my article is that stupidity isn't at all as common a reason (for why something's been done a certain way) as we'd like to think it is. I think the true split is about 80/20. This is fro

You often hear people in engineering teams say something to the effect of "I can't understand why this was built this way. It's been done stupidly", but invariably there's some key piece of contextual information th

I'd recommend reading Angela Duckworth's "Grit". It helped me overcome the same challenge.

By that do you mean you dislike the lack of social contact? I started a remote role in November and I'm just starting to appreciate how much I miss spending my day in the company of others.

Couldn't agree more. This was fairly revelatory for me and I've been able to find more productive ways to spend my time recently. I even (shameless plug) wrote about it in a blog post: https://timwhite.digital/dist

Funnily enough, I had this exact idea ~6 months ago. Whether this becomes a paid service or not, people will always appreciate a little goodwill.

I agree with your point in parentheses. It appears I've been downvoted into oblivion despite not even indicating my own leaning. Even if we're acknowledging that this story wasn't a setup, it's wrong to suggest that ther
