It seems very much like poor management. The "go big, or go home" culture of the valley. Where businesses think if they can't be a billion dollar unicorn, then they might as well die. It makes companies push too hard for expl

Do you know if Clojure devs are expensive compared to Python and Ruby devs of similar experience? I feel the comparison to Java, .Net, & PHP maybe just a comparison of huge mainstream language to more "niche" languages.

Right tool for the right job. Thinking RDBMS is a silver bullet is just as bad as thinking a document database is a silver bullet. There is room in the world for both.

I've been very happy with the Logitech solar keyboard for mac. Feels good enough, and you can't beat that it never runs out of juice if you're in a room with a window. https://secure.logitech.com/en-us/pr

Get home between 5 and 7 (if I go downtown). Play with my son, eat dinner, clean up some. Bath and bed for the kid, then spending some time with my wife. Then I either do more work, dink around on reddit, or read.

I second the renting a desk. I rent a desk in a coworking space and it's been great. It's a mile from home, so the commute is very light.

It would be interesting if the reason we haven't detected signs of other life is that we're quarantined until such time that we create AI.

It feels very much bait and switch cause their big seller isn't eligible. You don't know that until you add it to the cart and try the coupon code though.

If they aren't working full-time remote, then your issue isn't tracking, it's trust. You can put a butt in a seat, but if they aren't doing the work remotely, they are only gonna stare at the screen in an office. What yo
