    I try to always reply honestly when talking about having kids. And I'm lucky to only have friends who do the same. Usually I say something like "It's really hard, but it's so aweso…

    I had two bike crashes in Brussels, Belgium in the last year. Both times because of tracks.

    Learning: I learned a big deal of web development (HTML, CSS and JS) from view-source. Tweaking: I sometimes fix broken closed-source/proprietary applications or websites by checki…

    Funny how I now read this as Uber-shady.

    Cloudflare redacted the name of the Agent, but left their signature. That's a very literal (and maybe risky?) reading of their obligations.

    I agree that discoverability and selection of well-maintained packages is problematic in node (I couldn't compare with .NET core though). But I disagree with you on picking Express…

    Also: the title. It is not "at exit", but really "at IPO", which might be the most infrequent exit there is.

    Exactly my thought when I tried Vue.js: on the surface, it's knockout with some react-inspired additions that make it faster. I loved being able to pick up Vue.js and make somethin…

    I was pretty happy with openshift until I recently discovered it was impossible to update the version of an os package I depended on. On heroku, custom buildpack and it was done in…

    I do the same. But my rationale for normal browsing with firefox is not about tooling, it's really about what OP says in the article. Agreed on the adress bar though.

    I'm sorry, I'm probably missing something, but... Why even sell when you only get 1y of revenue from the sale?

    Probably not, but it's also pretty hard to know what Sublime does, given its closed-source nature.

    In Belgium it isn't. What is often the case, though, is that you commit other crimes while escaping prison (stealing government property, violence or threats on guards, etc.) for w…

    I have this feeling with Intercom, that every bit of added value I want to extract next, I have to upgrade my plan or buy yet another plan. Their pricing pisses me off every single…

    At least for the Brussels one: the heist happened and was quite impressive, but the burglars didn't get away with it. They were caught pretty rapidly, weren't they?

    In the CPH bridge solution too, you'll have to wait for the elevator to bring you upstairs, and another elevator ride to be back on the ground on the other side of the bridge.

    Asking because it seems unusual to me, and I think those situations are really similar to what GP was referring to: "I paid to see what you had to say, but I don't like it so I'd l…
