About sshconnection

Ruby enthusiast and engineer at CarWoo! Prior to CarWoo, I worked as a C# developer back home in Louisiana. Love applying lessons learned from working in different environments.

    Nobody is saying they should be high on the job. People are saying we shouldn't fire employees for having a beer or a joint a week ago on vacation. The status quo endorses the form…

    Certain areas are inherently easier to be homeless in, regardless of local programs. Try sleeping outside for a year in Phoenix or in Minneapolis. Try getting resources in a sprawl…

    Love how HN loves data driven analysis, except when analyzing SF violent crime rates.

    If you're in the NYC or bay area, there are a few quant groups on meetup.com that have regular events. Might be a good place to drop in.

    My uber bill for 2014 is almost $2000 so far, and it's only June. I know that SF is not the rest of the country, but it has absolutely changed the way I get around. That said, thin…
