    Hire people to stand at the entrance with a hand-counter (one for entry, one for exit). Have them jot down the count every half hour. Cheap, easy, foolproof.

    I miss everything not being monetized. I miss not being online 24/7.

    Rejoice! For you have learned a valuable lesson! Next time, first look how well the competition is doing before coding up the same thing. As for why vertical tabs are not popular: …

    Websites like https://radio.garden and https://www.radio.net/ do the same without having me install yet another app. What is your unique selling point? What does HqRadio bring that…

    There where even mail-to-ftp gateways. I vaguely remember using bitftp (?) to get a copy of the Utah Raster Toolkit that way. Long time ago...

    If the cost is lower than the value provided, yes, of course I'll pay!

    Don't tell us, show us the value of your project! Show how it would work in practice, show how it is better than normal Jira search. Show why I should use your project instead of t…

    I don't use it. Somehow I'm constantly checking how much time remains. Can't get into the flow. And if I do get into any kind of flow state, the last thing I want is to get interru…

    This mandatory harvesting of personal information is atrocious. Inevitably these personal email addresses get stolen, leaked or just sold to everyone that wants it. The user get a …

    Action items from the retro should be user stories for the next sprint!

    For work I use a calendar (Outlook) as a todo list. A task gets added to a date and time in the future so I know I can't forget it. When the day comes, I either do the thing, or I …

    Knuth can be a bit of an acquired taste. In my opinion it isn't very useful to read if you don't fully commit to do the exercises. That will take time and a lot of it! I suggest yo…

    To ensure employment either be a specialist (so you can do something others can't), or choose an older technology that used to be popular but isn't now. Most developers will have m…

    You don't have to seed 24/7. It's OK as long as (parts of) torrents get seeded regularly.
