    Yeah my 80 year old mom uses the "pink busses"[1], basically a multi-passenger taxi where she books a trip in advance and they go from A to B, but also the other's trips. So takes …

    I guess I should have mentioned we're in EU and not US, and we're small (~100) so we don't really do contracts but full-time employees. I guess for short-term contract work, fully …

    If you compare the code using the presented framework to code using say immediate mode library like ImGui[1][2] for example, the presented framework does indeed seem to be exposing…

    I found the article very hard to follow. Then I read the domain name and it all made sense... Guess our pattern is different, not really felt the pain point the author is talking a…
