Great response. I'll pile on: Many people retire at 50 or 60 and don't die until 80 or 90 these days. Thats 20 - 30 years of living often while dealing with very high medical bills and health problems which can make work impossi

I struggle with this all the time. Data driven tests are awesome because you write so little code. But the code is often abstract and the data is long and hard to read. I have never been a big fan of Cucumber either and I'm not convi

Excellent app! This is the writing style my high school composition teacher drilled into my head. Everything I write now is influenced by her. I also try to write my code using this style. In fact, code and documentation and email should

HN navel gazing aside -- I think this is really good advice. Rather than trying to impress your coworkers -- try to impress your users. I think the challenge in many companies is getting enough access to your users that you can tell if the

Thats a great point. I do mention it in my blog post on withdrawal rates! ( http://blog.networthify.com/withdrawal-rates/ ) Its worth nothing that you could end up with an ever widening gap, but you could also end up with an ever growing

Yeah $2 can add up. I like to read the early retirement blogs and would like to somehow someday be financially independent. The way I like to think about it is to figure out how big of a nest egg do I need to earn enough of a return to cov

My side project is based on this article. I was intrigued by the graph in this post and so I created an interactive chart to explore it. The calculator will tell you how quickly you can retire and what your savings rate needs to be. http
