same, I'm a paying customer and liked it. I don't have 'production' level demands but was doing lots of prototyping and testing of ideas. Very easy to use and reliable enough to count on. Stinky.

They're using the words "Monotype Fonts" as a type shop, a brand, a company...I forget which but I set type decades ago and remember the name. They're not referring to 'monotype fonts' as a type of font, like s

The partners you work with can make or break the best idea; don't let your enthusiasm cloud a colder view of the people you'll be making important commitments with. I've read that it's like a marriage, and I thought that

I'm guessing there's a word missing: "What was shocking to me was NOT how brutal but stupid it was."

One thing that's helped me is teaching local "community ed" courses on something I'm confident in. I've taught really basic courses, and not only became more confident over time but also felt great teaching people w

I think Glen Greenwald was one of the more respected journalists but isn't any longer. I think he either has crossed over or will soon cross over into Seymour Hersh territory (sadly). Mr. Hersh was an amazing investigative journalist t

I'll have to listen to the podcast, but I think you're way off in thinking this kind of story makes careers. Journalists take their credibility very seriously and this story doesn't have it, at least not yet if it ever will.

I think the label/type for a company gets figured about by asking: "what do customers come to you for?" There are different ways of asking it, and maybe different words to use, but that's the most direct, simple, and hel

FWIW, I consider myself deeply introverted and I don't put on a front or think about anything during social situations other than focusing on whatever's going on in front of me...nothing is difficult to navigate, etc. I'm not

Ditto. Haven't complained or followed up with anyone yet, but seeing all of this info has me now thinking it's not just me. Every action is noticeably slower (~1s response for everything) and now, as of last week anyways, need to

Agree on this point, but I'd add that you should do it only you're genuinely curious and not just because you have to. I'm finishing the Udacity nanodegree and while I'm not sure I'd recommend that specific program,

That sounds better for sure, but not the way it came across. I put the emphasis "Right" not "A Lot"...maybe next time.

Bummer, thankfully I don't work in a place like that...luck of the draw.

I was introduced to these at USMC Officer Candidate School and agree wholeheartedly; these principles are effective and I have tried to live into them (as appropriate) as I've taken on manager/director roles in my career. Amazon r

huge caveat: I haven't read the piece yet, but had to quickly respond to you. This is probably totally inside baseball for beer snobs. For me, Heady Topper is the beer that made me a beer snob. Never understood why anyone would ever st

Ditto, I also struggled with it. I really, really didn't like the book (but really wanted to). Since then he's a standing example for my own ad hominem thinking, as in I have to keep reminding myself to separate the person from th

I have read that book (it's been a while but I remember it being a good read) and would love to say something more substantial about my experience, but frankly it simply came down to fear of failure and not wanting to blow it (again).

FWIW: I went for it and got into a pretty tough program (OCS US Marines), but got 'boarded' 3 days before graduation. Brutal experience in many ways, but I'm really glad I did it despite not making it to graduation. My regret
