My team/company uses Confluence for all of our internal documentation and I personally can't stand it. It's hard to navigate and create directories/documents, it has a painful text…

Ugh, regardless of what we say we wish to do on this post, what I'm sure many of us lack is external motivation to do it. One app to help solve that is called Spar, developed by a …

Right, I was just about to reply with a similar response to another post. I went to Virginia Tech, lived in Northern VA for a while, and now I'm here in SF and it's like night and …

I don't know the proportion, but coincidentally enough, I work at a startup that uses Stripe and we used to support bitcoin transactions (and thus refunds). I just asked a friend w…

Also this is seriously gold - hardest I've laughed all day.

Haha fair argument. As someone pointed out - it's very easy to incur technical debt in Perl. It's a dynamic language with virtually non-existant dev tools and lacking open source c…

Hahaha too true, too true. My lingering loyalty to MS obliges me to defend this though. There were custom shells, dev tools, and compilers for almost every major project combined w…

Yeah, I think it's due to their paranoia of taking a picture of anything work related: monitors, whiteboards with notes, papers, etc.
