I feel like there's 2 completely different paradigms to open source, or at least it felt that way for me. There's starting your own project and contributing to someone else's. I initially started with my own projects, a few v

I haven't thought of that but it seems like a great idea. Basically like a shuttle service? Here we have MARTA, buses and trains, but both add outrageous commute times. There is a benefit to someone else doing the driving so you can fo

I've consistently thought this. As I'm working on the outskirts of Atlanta, with some of the worst traffic in the country, I wonder why a job would require I come to an office downtown or close. When I can do all of the same work

Not necessarily. A salary negotiation initiated by an employee out of the blue raises a huge red flag. You've just alerted management that you're merely "possibly" not happy so they can start the ball rolling in finding

If you only have a single task to complete, then yes that's precisely justification to sit there and do nothing but collect a paycheck. Hopefully your boss is putting multiple things in front of you that can be juggled so that as you p

Thanks a ton for this. I've been recently looking for examples to follow as no readme or style is perfect but this is a worthy goal for any software project to me, be it internal or external, closed or open source. I think the key to m

Keeping the artist and track title visible at all times would be the only usability thing I would change. I'm often going to the youtube link to find this. I keep this as a tab open in Chrome while I'm doing other work so being ab

We sound eerily similar save the financial independence/measure of success. I've come to describe it as a "genius complex" though I don't think that's an actual phrase. It's basically that I think almost e

GitLab and GitHost are the two that immediately spring to mind. The former having a more free tier, the latter free for non-profit or education.

I completely agree. I think unless your startup or core competency is something like that, why shard your core product's development/IT/whatever work to support an in-house product that's bound to have bugs(tm) right o

The immediate "solution" I thought of came from "who watches the watchers?" Why not form a anti-troll trolling group that's sole purpose is to dox the doxers as it were? I then realized all you're doing is chan

I'd say this isn't quite ready for prime time. The errors I received were annoying and you're not going to get an end user or most IT admins to parse the python just to find the errors. I've only had 3 major errors but t

That's the precise problem I had. Opening Safari got me one step closer and then another failure. I wanted to run all options but got tired of all these errors so I commented out ParseSafari, ParseFirefox, and ParseChrome calls inside

Life is way to short to hide behind fear of the unknown. Think of yourself in these shoes? Would you want to be held back by someone well meaning? I personally wouldn't. I can't even begin to fathom what being estranged from your

I think having the founders own a total of 50% is a seemingly high risk but that is totally opinion based. If the other entire 50% rise up in agreement could they halt the company? Wouldn't 60-40 in favor of the founders give them a li

I seem to remember this being implemented but overlooked it. Thanks for bringing it up. Ideally, that would be the preferred way to "backup" Github repos. Just replace .wiki with .issues or .pullrequests [insert naming convention

Where a tool like this seems to really make sense is not in the git repository. Most of us know or should know how to back this up properly. The real power comes in dumping the issues, wiki, PRs, and any other information that is not comp

Parts of this resonate with me and yet I have a variable 40 hour a week ceiling where if I'm extremely lucky I top out at that. I can safely say I've had many of those thoughts and they didn't revolve around the amount of t

The Netflix comparison falls apart a little bit. You don't see a new movie for the most part because a DVD/Bluray release hasn't dropped or the studio is holding it back for some marketing/whatever reason. The primary re

I went into the opposite direction: my sleep schedule now wants to be 2am or later and yet I still have to be up by 7:30 to make it to work on time. I will agree though that I have to be in a state where my body just can no longer stay awak

Razr is largely inspired by the Razor view engine for ASP.NET. Twig is nice and looks to be inspired by Ruby syntax, something I'm a little more familiar with in using Octopress. Perhaps they wanted to introduce a templating engine tha

The implementation details of this idea are the problematic part, I think. Everything you can conceivably think of starts to skirt along ethical/legal lines but I think it's an important discussion to have. Ideally, as developers,

Exactly. A bad team just destroys productivity for the most part. You generally won't get any answers you seek in a reasonable fashion if the team is bad enough. In that instance you might as well work alone.

I cannot stress this enough. The relief of a week off really helped me last year. When I came back I literally felt that "lead weight" another commenter mentioned. I thought it was that Atlanta is different than Fort Lauderdale

Winter is particularly difficult for me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_affective_disorder pretty much describes it perfectly. Vitamin D deficiency is huge and easy for someone with the sedentary lifestyle most

I'm the same way. It's not really meaningful work but just whatever you can do to pass the time. My mind doesn't context switch that greatly so when I'm in "Let's slow down and talk this out" mode, I'

Do you have the Add Question button in the top right? I haven't bothered trying to add anything because I don't really have a question yet. I got 2 invites for signing up too. Maybe your account got bugged if you can't say th

That is roughly how I work too. I have tags I care about and among those, I look for questions I believe I can answer based on my knowledge. Either I have used some aspect of what they're asking for in the past or by research I'll

What you're basically saying, and I sadly have to agree: Don't make an app that works with the music industry. There was no need for any more words. Where would the music industry be today without any of the apps that currently ha

During my latest round of searching for a new gig, I realized I could use an application to at least track the opportunities I had. If you juggle a bit of interviews at once it becomes a little difficult to keep things sane if you aren&#x27
