Echoing this myself. I swore off having a boss again after my last (also only) position in an agency. After six years sometimes I look at those 180k remote jobs with a wistful eye. But the chance of getting to that point with a company I bu

Try New Zealand. Here the ACC will cover most things up to and including various forms of cancer treatment. You might wait a few hours if you just drop into the hospital unannounced but it doesn’t feel like a system that doesn’t work.

So far our legacy as a species on earth is one of destruction. Only by taking on the challenge a place that is already dead can we be certain of creating something new. Maybe we will learn some perspective in the process. Going to Mars will

I work out of a very small studio in Auckland mostly building ecom (cofounder/dev). The reality is NZ is such a tiny market that is has a really funny quality to it (and some really odd stuff in places like an unspoken pay invoices on

Well I have now, and at school in Fiji there were stories of other kids blowing themselves up with homemade kerosene & bamboo fireworks. My personal opinion is that responsibility and risk are related, and if you don't have a gradu

I suppose the question is what sort of world do you want to live in? I had a great time with fireworks growing up in a less regulated country (Fiji), most of the time we don't even bother with Guy Fawkes here (NZ) now. Having also spen

Also a note around the number of products, I think you would be okay, promotions - see other comment, dynamic adjusters would be fine I think. One thing to watch out for is Spree leaves cart level orders in the database, and deleting an ord

Sounds like an interesting project. I picked Spree over Solidus because Solidus is based on version 2.4 of Spree and I was already on version 3.0 at the time. The split was due to the company behind Spree being bought out but luckily for us

Sure, I tried it over Shopify because I wanted the ability to have complex pricing (well over 100 per product). I built a system that allowed for the ability to have dynamic prices based on the base product price + a combination of selected

Me, me! I picked up Spree in 2015, and still build with it on a weekly basis. The platform and its ecosystem both have ups and downs, for example the order system is quite complex[1]. For another I have yet to find a perfect way to architec

Funny you should mention this, I make my living building sites with Shopify, Craft Commerce and Spree. After experience with Magento, Woo Commerce, Open Cart and many others these are the ones that give me the fewest headaches on a regular

Haven't we had auto reload since long before webpack? Or am I missing something.

I think an interesting point here is that you often need to learn the distinguishing features themselves - especially when classifying quite similar things. as a child I found it hard to distinguish plants from each other, until I learned t

I grew up with floats and clearfixes, and while flexbox does a few things I couldn't do before I still find myself pulling up the flexbox cheat-sheet to get the correct syntax every single time.

Went from 3x 1920x1080 monitors to a 43" 4k IPS display a little over a year ago and has been great once used to it. Tiling 6 apps using divvy works nicely. Lately I have found myself wishing there was a wider format 5760 x 2160 screen

At a guess there are two major schools of thought here. The first thinks that emotions, will, personality etc are much more complex than the way we think of neural nets today. The other thinks that what we are seeing is already much more li

Not sure that's true. Low drag is incredibly important to the top speeds of those cars. For example a `03 Golf has a CdA of 6.89[1] while a new Ferrari 458 is 0.330[2]. Also, most modern supercars have active aerodynamics to create mor

Lotus Elise, BRZ, Alpha 4C, and others are very nice cars with lower horsepower to match the handling. It's nice to be able to drive something to it's full potential without electronics or loss of license. I haven't owned any

Given technological progress and human nature I think that might be a temporary or worst case scenario but unlikely to be a long term status quo. What about exploration or just plain old boredom? There might be more radical escapes (VR, bra
