    Yeah, I'd second a recommendation of at least the first two volumes of Write Great Code. I've long suggested those to juniors who have come out of bootcamps, self-taught, or other …

    Doesn't this also use its own app and services? The only "open" part of it I saw in the docs was that there's an sdk to write your own app that runs on the watch. Better than nothi…

    Yup, came to say this. Kids have learned to walk places on their own without maps or satnav or tracking for hundreds of thousands of years. I believe everyone would benefit from th…

    It's not common that they miss those timed delivery windows, in my experience... but when they do their systems don't seem to be able to handle it well and the delay is far worse t…

    ...and if a title is incorrect and says the opposite of what's intended, by way of a language misunderstanding or otherwise, it's helpful to note that and get it corrected.

    First, it's a bit of a silly cliché, but a true one, that guns don't kill people, people kill people. The way you've phrased it, even aside from the facts, makes it feel like FUD i…
