I like async standups on slack. Everyone just post what you are doing today, and if anyone has any questions they can follow up.

If there are fewer cars on the road because the people who can work at home are doing so, then the commute becomes smoother for anyone who can't work from home.

Is it a death sentence or do the higher ups just want you to think that? If many people start doing it, the people hiring will just have to accept it. When I was a kid, they said p…

I was working for a fintech startup and hating it. It was boring and the upcoming work was about 6 months of incorporating a credit card system into the code. I quit that so I coul…

I'm an edge case, but I recently found a part time dev job at a web game that I had been playing for about 2.5 years prior. In the news header of the game they had an headline that…

My pandemic project is VanWalks. It's a walking tour app of Vancouver. There are currently 5 routes around the downtown area. Working on a freemium model, Chinatown and Coal Harbou…

I've been doing rock and roll cross-stitch. Keeps my hands busy during online D&D sessions. I've finished Freddie Mercury and The Ramones. Next up is Spinal Tap.

Does anyone know how they got a soundtrack tuned to 432Hz? If it was just an existing soundtrack slowed down a bit, that's not going to sound right. Did the study get an orchestra …

Freedom of speech only refers to your ability to criticize the government. A private company can do whatever they want with their platform.

If the world were a better place, my job wouldn't need to exist.

I've tried just about every musician earplug on the market, including custom molded electric ones. For any amount of money, the best results I've had were with https://www.earasers…

I would agree with this. At home I walk, ride my bike, get on transit, rent a carshare etc. When I'm travelling, I'm walking or calling an Uber/Lyft. I'll take a train or bus only …

Revolution it is then!

Does building a PWA this way support In App Purchases? I would much prefer keeping my app as a PWA, or in my case, a managed Expo React Native app. But eventually I'll have to brea…
