This is why I knew how to be a frontend engineer at one point in life but never pursued it past the early 2000s. The brainpower wasted on web layout is immense.

Many in America get life sentences for drug offenses. This happened recently - https://www.npr.org/2021/04/22/989822872/supreme-court-rejec... This does not feel like enough.

Additionally, the vast majority of startups I've worked for, and am aware of, will not file the paperwork to let you 83b. AND, if you bring it up, they will probably tell you politely they're not going to bring up your request to

This service was a godsend when I lived there, due to how abysmal Muni was. Sorry to hear it didn't work out for them.

Charge me money, for content. Ala NYTimes, WaPo, Wall Street Journal, etc. Also, I'd say it's a false dichotomy of "monetize" vs. "use every dark pattern and brings-browsers-to-their-knees script". Countless ti

Hipchat took standard IRC, and added some interface fluff, youtube links, and emojis. They achieved great market footprint. Then Slack starts up later - makes literally the same exact product, and manages to surpass, and eventually subsume
