I call this the "grandpa's keys" problem! When Grandpa was 20 years old he left the house and forgot to take his keys, so every time he left the house he checked his pockets for hi…

Thank you for this, it's brilliant! I have spent days drawing the wiring diagram for a modified 1961 MG MGA using LucidChart. The fonts available just didn't look great. I uploaded…

MG produced the MGA roadster from 1955 to 1962. This site has been operating by one person for 20+ years and has the biggest wealth of information on how to maintain and fix these …

You don’t actually have to pay for your own, but you are taxed an extra 0.5% if you don’t and earn above a certain amount. So in practice rather than pay the additional tax, people…

My hobby is tool collecting and occasionally, my wife makes me do work around the house to justify the tool collecting. So, I really enjoyed your creation here! I was going through…

Fascinating!

Octopus Deploy and TeamCity both parse output looking for commands in the same way (called Service Messages). I believe it is a common pattern in all CI servers. The issue here doe…

Also if the problem is "churn as a single number" is wrong because it misleads people (the example being churn is up because the company is growing) surely the answer is to show a …

Absolutely not an expert here, but I do obsess about our churn numbers. It seems this post is trying to make a model to predict churn or guess what future churn might be. But the m…

This comment really resonated with me - I’m a founder of a company which hit $10m a couple of years ago, we’ve been through two heads of marketing with no success, and everything y…

Thanks for the kind words!

We built this internally to test that the UI we built for Kubernetes deployments was producing the expected YAML. Thought it would be useful to share.
