a part of me is thinking "ugh, why couldn't we get a tax credit for, you know, bike bikes? non-electric bikes?" :-D but i'm not hating much -- a small step in the right direction -- i'll take it! and i was skeptical

sounds like a good idea to me. i wonder if a 4-day work week would actually be attractive to employers, especially if they could take a cut (back) of salary. maybe even something like....it's a 20% work time cut, so maybe for that, i&#

Been working on a service to let you listen to the web -- similar in function to the audio part of the Pocket app. Mostly using AWS Lambda and SNS. Some occasional weirdness in stringing functions together -- might do more with Step Functio

No. That's what I want to believe anyways. It would be interesting to see an actual study, though. Team A does project 1 with Scrum. Team B does project 1 without Scrum. Let's say over 3 months. Who wins? We could look at time to

I plan on launching a B2B and B2C solution soon. My strategy in a general sense will be to: * re-listen to all the Indie Hackers podcasts and take notes * stay patient I heard one guy say it may take months or years, but as a

Dropbox locked me out of my account years ago and I'm sure they have locked out thousands of other people too. I suspect loss of trust helps a company go into decline, especially when the company holds a vital assets.

I have not seen a single serious critique of the 1619 project yet. So far it's all just hyperbolic white supremacist right-wing fox news-speak. I do understand the seriousness of the situation though -- the 1619 project is an absolutel
