I've been wondering the same thing. For me, I think the new site feels slightly sluggish and the design and/or implementation feels clunky. I switched back to classic though so no …

Hi everybody - I'd love to attend LambdaConf next month, but I waited too long to buy my ticket and it sold out. If anyone has an extra ticket or can no longer attend I'd be more t…

No one is arguing that people belong to their employers. Poaching is a standard term to describe the process of strategically hiring people who are already working at a specific co…

Thanks for the comment. Are there any books or resources about mindfulness that you found particularly helpful?
