Allow me to shout into the void for a minute here... 1. Slack is a well-designed interface for allowing teams to communicate via chat. 2. Slack is easy to install is use on Mac, PC…

Yes, in my profile.

My wife and I both quit our jobs before we left to travel. We've been together for 13 years at this point, were at about 10 years when we started traveling. Something about the tra…

In May 2012 my wife and I did this. It went well, but little went to our initial plan. The experience was far more stressful than either of us expected. Constantly having to find f…

This is great advice and what I have been doing for the last 3-4 years for our retirement portfolio. Prior to that we were using an 'investment guy' who had us in a bunch of high-c…

You may need to pay that $10 if you are investing through some other brokerage account. However, do yourself a favor, open an account with Vanguard directly and you can make that p…

Anyone else find the fo us on the article solely on "Alabamians" a bit odd?

I'm reading this while sitting in a restaurant in Nepal. My wife and I are here for around three weeks for hiking to Everest Base Camp. After this, we are headed to China for 11 da…

It is our job to explain to the business what the value is. It is our job to convince them of the value. I know this can be hard/impossible in some situations. I've lost those batt…

The question for us, as technologists, is what are we doing about this? 2FA is nice, but not the end all, be all. OAuth has largely failed to gain any reasonable traction. Using Fa…

More than anything, what this makes me want to do is lay out some cash to have an actual designer work on a resume for me. I like nice looking resumes, I kind of want a nicer looki…

Connect literally five other services for a broader view This copy seems quite strange. Using literally in this context would traditionally precede an impressive number. "We have l…

Alright, well I suppose I'll play the role of contrarian. Performance reviews should be given in the context of preset goals. Without defined goals, a review is pointless. You migh…

Sigh, this picture: http://www.lifestyleupdated.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/j... The quintessential picture of a couple, lifestyle designing the shit out of their coffee after w…

Yea, this response is expected. You can see below I'm grappling with myself, am I just nitpicking as an excuse or do I have actual concerns. It can be hard to tell sometimes.

It isn't. I think based on the giant bar saying X out of Y pledged that it represented the largest chuck of what had been pledged.

I'd seen the paypal links, I just assumed that it would be a drop in the bucket compared to what is visible at rally.org, not 2 times what you see there. Perhaps I'm just nitpickin…

Absolutely agree. All I'm trying to say is that I find the lack of transparency about the real 'goal' for rally.org and real total (which now we have transparency about) doesn't ma…

Interestingly, the letter states he's received over 150k in support. The rally.org campaign now states over 50k has been pledged. I'm not finding the campaign for support to be ter…

I'm confused. If I put code out into the wild, as a website, as an application, as... whatever, I'm supposed to compensate people that take it upon themselves to poke holes in it? …
