When I was in college, we were required to take a business class (Business 101) that mandated a finished business plan as part of the project. It had to be long, in-depth, and include everything you mentioned. I was incredibly surprised whe

This is a well-done library that’s fun to work with. I put together a proof of concept org chart generator[0] with it a while back when working on another project. Very easy to use and well-documented. [0] - https://github.com&#x

Betty White holds such a highly regarded “Hollywood Star” place for me. It was fascinating to see her brought to life through her very ordinary belongings. Fun read.

Nice to see the library brought back in some kind of way for tech companies. 15 years ago, most tech companies had a library of sorts because it was required . Sure, there were manuals online, but they didn't offer the depth availab

The arts. The further and further you go in instruction, the more it becomes about the little differences and quality. Practice always helps, but quality definitely taught and learned by many as well.

Fantastic claims require fantastic evidence. Please be careful with things like this before someone gets hurt or worse. I have friends in the medical profession who have tested GPT4 and it’s good, but not quite good enough for them. I would

How far from WSDLs and SOAP we’ve come. I applaud this effort. I hate that we’re back to where this feels necessary. I’m not sure if there’s anything better. JSON sure felt better than XML. But did we abstract too far, or did we just get so
