Sanity is a great headless CMS with a generous free tier package https://www.sanity.io/pricing Paired with caching/static frontend, it's more than enough to power small to medium t…

Freelance means more control over when you work and what you work on, but it also means more effort to find work, keep your finances in order, and ensure that you are meeting the d…

That's an entirely fair point, but frustrating that the connection limits are not clearer in the docs.

I'm _really_ disappointed with the managed DB service. The "75 simultaneous connections per gigabyte of usable memory" limitation means cost wise it's cheaper just to spin up a 're…

Info and back story http://www.trunkrecords.com/turntable/mech_keyboards.shtml

We (a small 5-7 person digital agency juggling multiple active projects) have been using Clubhouse for the last couple of years after outgrowing Trello and finding Jira too complex…

That list is very out of date. One of my clients appears on there and when we took over in 2012 we encrypted all their user credentials.

It's Geekbench 4

I'm based in London, so dropped it off with https://www.ismash.com/ in St Pancras. Was done in half an hour and cost £40. Can't vouch for the quality of the battery yet, but they a…

There's between two and five of us, and we use the puphpet/ubuntu1604-x64 box. https://app.vagrantup.com/puppetlabs/boxes/ubuntu-16.04-64-p... Also here's a template for an initial…

- Vagrant Triggers plugin is super useful https://github.com/emyl/vagrant-triggers - I've found VMware Fusion as a provider worth the extra cost/disk space

I use DO for several one or two box production sites (LEMP and RoR stacks), and have minimal complaints. I'm a big fan of scaling up the CPU without having to also increase HD size…

Excellent fun, but when playing with the keyboard, only one of simultaneous keystrokes is recorded.

Fourth time this week?

I use both (Linode for five years, big sites, 100m+ pageviews), DO one year (smaller and personal sites). Both have been great, but Linode's support and response time to issues has…

I agree that 'brain dumping' is incredibly useful for soothing a racing mind, but I would also say that caffeine doesn't help.

Laptop speakers: Nope. High Quality Headphones: Maybe. Loud sound system in a crowded club: Definitely. Also just because one track sounds acceptable at 192, doesn't mean another w…
