Damn. I get already-cooked meals delivered for $13/each on Macro Plate's high protein plan. And the meals are really good. Lots of vegetables.

I really like my swiss kneeling chair. I got this one: https://www.amazon.com/Flash-Furniture-WL-SB-210-GG-Ergonomi... I've had to do lots of physical therapy for the problems developed from sitting in a chair at the

Me too. I've been going to physical therapy for 2.5 years now, and I really love it. Unfortunately it would take me 7 years of schooling, and they make significantly less than a software engineer.

On that note, I'm gonna give a shout out to QA. Thanks guys.

I miss working in an environment like this. I was actually surprised to find so much negative feedback in the comments. I think a detail getting glossed over is that the tone needs to be calibrated to the relationships between team members.

I hit a challenge that had me stumped, and I had to ask a coworker for help. It turned out to be legitimately difficult. Now we were both stumped. We got some coffee, doubled down, and paired for a while. Eventually, a moment of brilliance

I got a job in Santa Monica, while living in Long Beach. Commute was painful at 45-60 min, and I only had to be at work by 10:30. I moved into a 1BR for $1500 in nearby Culver City, which cut my commute down to 20-25 minutes. Not so bad. I&

Could you expand on that? I've snubbed contracting gigs in the past because I enjoy the often very generous healthcare plans at tech companies.

Really?? Do you know if they'll make it wireless? I love my Advantage. My only wishes are that it would be wireless and have room for Cmd, Ctrl, and Alt on both sides.

Heh, there's a lot to cover. First of all, just go to physical therapy if you have any pain. Even if you know the rehab exercises, doing them with perfect form will be very challenging. * Muscles typically work in agonist/antagoni

That's... moderately comforting. I recently started using Mint and it's proving very helpful for tracking my spending and budgets. It's really worrying having to hand over my bank account username and password, though. I real

I'm using Zenhub at my current company. I preferred Pivotal Tracker, which we used at my last company. It just feels kind of janky overloading Github's website. TBH, though, I struggle to find any other meaningful negative differe

"who is hiring" actually had some of the best quality job posts I encountered in my job search. I didn't try posting in "who wants to be hired."

I would suggest you go to physical therapy. They can help with your posture and advise you on a fitness regimen. Find a good place where you work with the PT every visit.

I, for one, immediately checked for Treehouse's open positions. In a world where retention and recruiting are huge challenges for tech, a strong work-life balance policy is very powerful. Too bad they don't have a need for a front

We're at 32,809 LOC in an app we're working on (although that includes tests and the Grunt build system). We operate at scale, and there's a lot of revenue at stake. To me, a huge part of Angular is the tools that it provides

I try my very best not to talk about work unless specifically asked. And when people do ask, they will still get bored very quickly. Even if they are asking for advice on how to learn programming or enter the field—of which it seems only

It's just a matter of specialization, is all. Not exclusivity. My interest in web development originally stemmed from design, and I am much stronger working on the front-end, as my passion is in UX. That being said, I absolutely aspire
