Is Strava really being greedy here? Last year at this time, software developers were jumping ship in every company to get huge raises at other companies. Salaries went through the …

Flyover also helped me connect with groups that I would see riding in other directions. Since flyover was made opt-in, I haven't gotten any use out of it. Opt-in is probably a real…

I did, and it was! I was short on time. I think stretching to 5 days would be perfect. I missed a lot of really cool towns due to time constraints. But that just means I can do it …

I just finished a ride from outside DC to Pittsburgh over 3 days, ~365 miles(587km). So 10% of Lachlan's ride. I had saddle pain after day 1, so I stood on the pedals more. This qu…

> I. How do you calculate a price for what you do? Work in the industry you want to freelance in first. This way you find out how much clients value your work. Then you know what t…

I'd really like to see a study specific to female happiness with children. I live in the US, and I think men and women's experience with children is entirely different. When my wif…

Pushing him out wouldn't be too hard? This sounds like a peach of a work environment. I'm in a situation like this right now actually. However, I'm the lazy developer. All situatio…

As a bitter old dev with many failed startups behind me, I find this a tad insulting. This isn't an attack response, but maybe I can provide some perspective from the other side. I…

I agree with what you're saying, and this is probably why I don't hold a management position anywhere. This also mirrors my experience with startups. I've been lied to about money …

I would love to see your consulting model. You speak as if keeping a full sales pipeline while making multiple clients happy is a simple thing. I'll agree that a single person cons…

I've been running my "consultancy" for over 5 years. Roughly 15% of my annual revenue is lost to non-payment. Customers pay late all the time . Literally. I've never had an invoice…

It's getting really close! I have a post detailing how you would run Flask in a rumpkernel[0]. Right now any pure Python modules will run just fine. We get into tricky situations w…

Why was it stupid to turn down something which you couldn't value, yet had to buy (in way of lower salary or more hours or whatever it was) ?

> Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. So what is the lesson here? I hear this saying over and over, always with the implication of "Give them…

That's how I've always understood technical debt as well[0]. Which database or programming language isn't quite it. When a major customer needs a new feature, do you hack that feat…

+1 :) Fortunately this comment is the least expensive way to learn that lesson.

>Employees don't cash out some of their holding at $3/share expecting a bigger IPO lift. Both angry because nobody came from the future to tell them, hey this is the best offer you…

What is very low and very high? I'm not sure my debt/income expectations match theirs so I'm not sure how to interpret this. Was there data that I skipped over? Edit: Yes I did mis…

I didn't -1, but it may be due to the article being focused on co-founder splits and not employees.

How about holding the prosecutor responsible for the 1988 murder by Mark Norwood[0]. Norwood's DNA was found at the scene. Maybe some more investigation in the Morton case(opposed …

Uber leverages cars that are already on the road driven by licensed drivers.

Very good point. I suppose the question is a false choice in the first place. The officer should just write down both tag numbers with a "worst drug deal ever" note...

58% would follow the drugs, 30% would follow the money? Following the drugs would catch smaller fish at each step. Also 72% of people were unfamiliar with the term. Serious questio…

IMHO trying to beat the traffic is more dangerous than running a red. You are in a hurry... the guy who is late to work doesn't see you when he burns the "newly red" light....
