This is so wonderful, thank you. Please don't change anything about it (except making the explanation of the channels available in the site's info panel)!

Yes. The other confusing thing about CORS is that CORS is not a protection against anything, but rather a way to UN-protect (in a restricted fashion) the browser's "same origin pol…

I've been using this service for years: https://formspree.io/ -- they do a decent job of preventing spam as well.

I sure am! Introversion doesn't mean you don't like interacting with other people, rather it's that such interaction is draining, and you need to be alone to "recharge" (whereas ex…

I am an introvert (although I don't have social anxiety). I work at a company where we pair program every day. I was very nervous about it at first, but I absolutely love it. Sure,…

As a counterpoint to most of the comments here: I work at a company where almost every developer pairs all the time. I absolutely love it. I thought I would hate it. I'm an introve…

I work for a company that takes agile development practices seriously, and I pair program all day, every day. I absolutely love it -- primarily for the reason you cite (I previousl…

It’s never easy :) In this case though I would try to explore ways to deliver meaningful work to the customer more quickly. Without that quick feedback loop the entire premise of “…

Got a link to the podcast? I’m unable to find it in Overcast or Google.

Been reading his blog for a long time, but didn’t know there was a podcast. I’m unable to find it though — do you have a link?

lol, I've been a javascript developer (among other things) for over 15 years :) The point is that some people/teams/environments prefer to not treat everything as a javascript app.…

Not all aspects of Shopify can be customized -- especially with the checkout workflow (eg you can only set a logo for the checkout page, but not style it). Also the non-ecommerce p…

A few years back I made a hobby project like this -- it scraped the website of the local free weekly paper (since they have pretty much every concert listing, large and small) and …

I bought Tracy's "Hello Web Design" book and it's fantastic! I would assume the Hello Web App book is also quite good.

Note to applicants: see the very last item in bullet-list about their definition of "remote". I was told that I am not eligible because I'm 4 hours away from Louisville instead of …

Uhh, the very next sentence in the article is: > Floods pose a serious threat to those living in the city, with 61 percent of residents having already experienced water damage to t…
