Is Strava really being greedy here? Last year at this time, software developers were jumping ship in every company to get huge raises at other companies. Salaries went through the roof. Now many tech companies are laying folks off. What oth

Flyover also helped me connect with groups that I would see riding in other directions. Since flyover was made opt-in, I haven't gotten any use out of it. Opt-in is probably a really good idea, even though it killed the feature. I real

I did, and it was! I was short on time. I think stretching to 5 days would be perfect. I missed a lot of really cool towns due to time constraints. But that just means I can do it again and have a totally new experience :)

I just finished a ride from outside DC to Pittsburgh over 3 days, ~365 miles(587km). So 10% of Lachlan's ride. I had saddle pain after day 1, so I stood on the pedals more. This quickly became knee pain, due to the extra exertion on my

I'd really like to see a study specific to female happiness with children. I live in the US, and I think men and women's experience with children is entirely different. When my wife worked, she missed our kids tremendously. Almost

Pushing him out wouldn't be too hard? This sounds like a peach of a work environment. I'm in a situation like this right now actually. However, I'm the lazy developer. All situations are different though, so I doubt I could h

As a bitter old dev with many failed startups behind me, I find this a tad insulting. This isn't an attack response, but maybe I can provide some perspective from the other side. I work really hard. I organize multiple meetups. I give

I agree with what you're saying, and this is probably why I don't hold a management position anywhere. This also mirrors my experience with startups. I've been lied to about money many times to get me to keep working. The onl

I would love to see your consulting model. You speak as if keeping a full sales pipeline while making multiple clients happy is a simple thing. I'll agree that a single person consultancy is 0 risk. I can accept a job offer tomorrow an

I've been running my "consultancy" for over 5 years. Roughly 15% of my annual revenue is lost to non-payment. Customers pay late all the time . Literally. I've never had an invoice paid on time. Customers cancel project

It's getting really close! I have a post detailing how you would run Flask in a rumpkernel[0]. Right now any pure Python modules will run just fine. We get into tricky situations when you need C extensions, e.g MySQL or PostgreSQL. Sin

Why was it stupid to turn down something which you couldn't value, yet had to buy (in way of lower salary or more hours or whatever it was) ?

That's how I've always understood technical debt as well[0]. Which database or programming language isn't quite it. When a major customer needs a new feature, do you hack that feature into the codebase to save the account? Or

What is very low and very high? I'm not sure my debt/income expectations match theirs so I'm not sure how to interpret this. Was there data that I skipped over? Edit: Yes I did miss the data: > “somewhat high,” for example

How about holding the prosecutor responsible for the 1988 murder by Mark Norwood[0]. Norwood's DNA was found at the scene. Maybe some more investigation in the Morton case(opposed to sitting on evidence) would have put Norwood in jail

Very good point. I suppose the question is a false choice in the first place. The officer should just write down both tag numbers with a "worst drug deal ever" note...

58% would follow the drugs, 30% would follow the money? Following the drugs would catch smaller fish at each step. Also 72% of people were unfamiliar with the term. Serious question, does being unfamiliar with the term for which the survey

IMHO trying to beat the traffic is more dangerous than running a red. You are in a hurry... the guy who is late to work doesn't see you when he burns the "newly red" light....

I've been yelled at in similar situations. For "riding in the middle of the road" when I'm simply not riding in the right turn lane. It's never safe to put yourself in a position where you are going straight and a

In Virginia if a bike waits for 120 seconds[0] and no cars are there, it's totally legal to run the light. Bikes tend not to trigger the light change. (I know this reads as "if no one sees you, it's ok". But it actually

The primary issue between cyclists and motorists is that very generalization. How about "individuals in cars", and "individuals on bikes". I always stop for red lights. It waaay too dangerous not too. Multiple times I&#x

I was bitten by this as well, I thought the book was for an "early programmer" not a total beginner. Hindsight and all, it seems the book would have better titled "Learn to Program the Hard Way (using Python)". Or "

I agree :) We don't really open and close though. Some people get there near 8 and leave near 5. Others 9-6. Very flexible, but one of the downsides of flexibility is concrete scheduling I suppose.
