Great idea - agreed we need an agency to go to that has some teeth, as the insurance co's will never be afraid of individuals.

This has been happening to me for the past several months. 1. Cigna will not tell you for any reason, why the claim is denied 2. Reps will not help at all other than "Oh I see the issue, will reprocess" which often just results in

Also using Kagi - I like the customization how you can boost certain sites results and block or derank others on an individual level. It does take a little getting used to vs Google, but I'd say 95% of my searches are on Kagi now. Occa

I really appreciate this comment - when I was working on my old startup, I felt exactly the same way. I quit my old job and was working on what I wanted to, and yet felt this resistance that I couldn't explain. The nagging doubts that

Agreed - the startup I work with now uses C# and its been very solid. The tooling is good, and the lang has never gotten in the way of getting work done.

Thank you! This also fixed my slowdowns.

> Woodworking or motorcycle repair are hard, and the initial setbacks are extremely demotivating. You won't hit the ground running, so you better prepare for disappointment. This mirrors my experience as well - also there is a dolla

IMO I agree that the real problem is the last one. GrubHub has a history of this, basically co-opting restaurants brands for their own benefit. https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/29/21113876/grubhub-seamless

I've also switched to part time IC this year, and it has been much better for my mental health. The ability to work on side projects or pursue hobbies with the extra time is definitely worth it for me over the extra pay.

I've worked remotely for the past several years, so that part has unfortunately not been a benefit for me. Not being able to go to coffee shops/coworking spaces for socialization, as well as not seeing friends in person has really

Learning some Vue.js - struggled a bit to get into React (nothing against React, might try it again later), but I find Vue+Typescript with class components works well for me as a .NET dev. Web dev tooling really has come a long way in the p

This is a great idea - would love to have this info integrated into nuget. Most likely people aren't going bother to run this on dependencies themselves (not to mention every version update), so having the info surfaced at the point of

Great post - it really resonated with me, having personally tried to do an overambitious startup that failed with a small budget. I agree with you that doing a 'lifestyle business' and getting to really zero in on a niche group&#x

I bought two nest outdoor Cameras on the general recommendation that they were the best all around for the job. I have them hooked up to my home automation system so that they sync away statuses - now this is pretty much kaput. How much wou

Good article, I did this several years ago (or rather I quit, got a part time contract job, then went full sabbatical). Definitely agree with the negatives, the procrastination and loneliness is very real when you're on your own. I tri

It definitely took a decent amount of work (and a double decent amount of testing). As voltagex_ mentioned, most location providers have a different API flow than Google Maps - rather than doing a total abstraction of providers (which would

I work for a startup that has mapping/routing as one of its core needs - about a year or two ago we decided that our reliance on Google's mapping APIs was too great and decided to work on having a switchable backup provider in cas

Like some of the other commenters, I also enjoy having both a desktop and a laptop. The laptop is of course nice to have to work on the go and in the living room/on trips, but sometimes for more intensive work and graphics (and games),

Thanks, I appreciate the perspective! I definitely agree with the real killer being thinking about working while not working. The concept is simple like you said, but actually sticking to it...quite hard. Also, keeping one day a week for yo

Do you have any tips for combating burnout that worked well for you? I'm starting to feel the signs of burnout (which probably means I'm actually in deeper than I think), and I'd like to try to head this off before it gets wo

Insightful article. I'm only halfway to 60, so I still do a lot of the worrying and mistakes the author mentioned, but even looking back on my 20's there's some situations where I now think "I'm too old for this.&qu

I did remote contract dev work for about 2 years with a startup (all members of our team of 3-4 were remote). It did take a little getting used to, but ultimately I enjoyed it. A few key things that helped: 1) Good communication (as many ot

I've been contracting for about 3 years now, one I found via StackOverflow Careers, and the other was via a co-working space. I think the general consensus here is right. Avoid finding jobs on contractor bidding sites like Elance/

I had heard good things about YNAB, so I purchased it a few months ago. I can see how it could work really well for some people, but reconciling it with my finances was a little too much ongoing work for me (also the UI was somewhat sluggis

I'm using ASP MVC 5 with Knockout.js, hosted in Azure, for my startup (commuting.io, still in dev). I've come from a .net background, so it seemed like the easiest choice to get up and running. Also using SQL Azure and Redis for d

Downloaded it, love the idea and UI. My only niggle about the app now is that it could use better support for hidpi (the text is a bit jumbled). Other than that, great work!
