About a year ago, I got hit on the head (hard) with a metal pole at 9:30 AM, on my way to BART to get to work. The guy asked for my phone. I was too disoriented to take it out of m…

On OkCupid. Not even kidding.

Flask! It's Pythonic and good. Once you've done a couple of Flask projects, you can spin up a new microservice in a couple of hours. It's much lighter weight than Django, so it for…

Pottery. A Pythonic way to access Redis, the same way that you use Python dicts. I use it in production, and I hope that it's useful to other people too: https://github.com/brainix…

Can't you see? You're not making toothpaste better. You're making coffee worse.

Google built GSA at a time when there were limited options for search, and when most tech companies had to manage their own hardware, and when it was magical to have any kind of se…

The Essential Calvin and Hobbes. That book taught me to be a decent person.

Dear 2016, You haven't figured it out yet, but we consider advertising unethical. Yours, 2066

Who's got two thumbs and has already deployed Flask 0.11 to production? This guy.

We're painting in broad strokes as there are exceptions to every trend. But in my experience, bootcamp graduates are more like tinkerers and university graduates are more like engi…

This is exactly what copy.deepcopy() is for. Although if you're headed down this road, you're generally in for a bad time.

My thoughts exactly. Why doesn't the article identify the "Google manager," and how did "Hustle Con" acquire this email? Seriously: [citation needed]

Enough with the clickbait. I had to scan the article 3 times before finally finding what the 40% rule is. And when I did find it, it's just like, your opinion, man. Seriously, cita…

Feedback on the documentation: It's not immediately obvious to me how Geode is different from Redis. When would I want to use Geode over Redis, and vice versa?

Great idea! Why hasn't anyone tried this before?

slackerne.ws, amirite?

Hi, AidName. Your product seems really interesting, and I almost signed up... Then I noticed that "AidName" isn't a very inspired name. I don't doubt the quality of your offering -…

Eh, "terrible" is relative. ;-) As long as you enjoy SC2, come and have fun!

Pics or it didn't happen. BTW, happiness is getting beaten at SC2 by a girl. ;-)
