Berlin was calling to me. There were somethings about SF I didn't like, but it wasn't so much "I moved out of SF" as "I moved in to a new city."

Philz and Skeggs are both in SV, and I was contributing what I could because OP said "SF and SV."

Good lord, so much snark in this thread, so here's some actual suggestions if you want to enjoy yourself (note: I moved out 3.5 years ago). Get coffee at Four Barrel, Ritual, Sight…

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Some people can't not own a car and just bike everywhere or take public transit.

Poor documentation is a bug in itself.

Slightly off topic, but this is hardly the biggest blunder of the airline industry. A company I worked for last year absolutely tore them apart in a talk at 33c3. In short, informa…

Sure, and if we imagine a hypothetical entity that has 10 products with security holes and then releases and 11th, it might be worth looking at the 11th more suspiciously. Things d…

The tool phones home. Their website doesn't have HTTPS. It's plausible that the tools phones home over an unencrypted channel (I didn't look, so I could be wrong). My overall impre…

Wow, and your website isn't even HTTPS for what appears to be a security company. Get it together.

Yes, but in theory some sort of MAC could stop it from accessing important files, or anti-virus could detect it and stop it too. But once the password leaves the computer, it's goi…

Since this is all about docs, having gone from Java/Scala to Rust, I cannot emphasize enough how much better Rust is at this. With `cargo doc` I get a local set of static files for…

It certainly worked, whether or not it worked "well" is up for debate.

Those seem to be legitimate complaints that seem to be "take something specialized that caters to a small crowd, then water it down so it appeals to everyone." That said, sometimes…

The post seemed to claim that because each small change didn't ruin it, it's not ruined. I'm saying that it's ruined to some because it's no longer the thing they fell in love with…
