Ecosystem. It’s easy to find people who already know it to hire. It’s easy to find modules and libraries for any sort of widget you might want to use. It’s easy to find people who …

Interesting ideas, but ones that require the person acting to have the authority and security to do so without fear of repercussion. Some of these tactics would not be advisable fo…

One thing we do is keep a slack channel for announcements only. We require everyone to acknowledge they’ve read and understood said announcements by adding an emoji response. Then …

When I flew economy 25-35 years ago, seat pitch was at least 50% greater than it is now, and the actual seats of the seats were both deeper and better cushioned. You could recline …

Prices for “economy” and “business class” have been trending downwards, yes. But what you now get in “business class” is what you used to get in “economy” 20-30 years ago and “busi…

Not having the top of the seat angled forward to push your head into a weird position would go a long way towards fixing that without reclining.

Sure, but if you have to pay a premium for regular seats just because you have a disability, that seems like a problem. And the injury scenario could also be extremely problematic.…

That’ll be fun when you spend 3 hours on the tarmac before your “short haul” flight due to airport congestion or weather conditions. Edited to add: what about people with disabilit…

Allowing participants to choose between financial and time off compensation (at roughly equivalent hourly rates) is kind of a cool idea. Of course, PTO is less of a clear incentive…

What is it that you’re looking for your tool to do about this?

Seems like an actual use case for a spreadsheet. Is there anything you need from this tool that a trivial spreadsheet won’t support?

But what happens when the stock’s market price drops below the discounted price?

Programming involves more thinking than typing. If you’re hunting and pecking, your speed will be limited by your typing speed. But there are shades of grey between that and full-o…

A script that populates an HTML file from JSON and then converts that to PDF.

Really. I have friends and family who have moved from NY to London and they all say London is slightly more expensive. Most online comparisons are weird for two reasons: 1) they in…

CoL in London is comparable to or greater than that in NYC, and probably not quite at SV levels but close enough for comparisons to be meaningful.

I’ve had good results with a script that sanitizes a subset of production data for use in a staging environment.

This. Except for me it’s the hangover rather than the embarrassment. It can help to find something that isn’t water to drink that will make your companions feel less like they’re l…

Assuming social security still exists for millennials.

It probably depends on what you’re interested in working on. My guess is that there will be a 5-year period of explosion in a) compilers for existing languages; b) frameworks for w…

And to keep social security solvent for GenX would require squeezing Millennials even harder by increasing the taxes or reducing payouts or both.

Fwiw, law in California requires allowing users to cancel subscriptions via the same medium they used to sign up.

But social security is solvent and is projected to be so for a while. It’s Medicare that isn’t.
