    I agree with you. Whenever I've been in seriously challenging situations at work, having real, deep, personal relationships with my team made it far easier to have difficult conver…

    I work for a company with full pay transparency – well, complete transparency across all parts of the organisation – I can't imagine working in an opaque environment ever again. I …

    My nephew built this as one of his first Mindstorms projects. It works amazingly well, especially given the limited components - quite extraordinary to see in action.

    I love this idea. I did a quick pure-CSS implementation, not bullet-proof by any means - biggest downside is it's reliance on the `required` attribute: http://jsfiddle.net/thetron/…

    I started using Airmail[1], and I love it. Mainly for label support with Gmail, but there's lots of little bits of UI features that I love about. Definitely worth the $1.99 or what…

    Thanks for mentioning this! I had completely missed the announcement. That's really exciting, I wonder if pin.net.au will adjust their pricing to match Stripe's. Good to have some …

    It's definitely my intention to. At the moment it's a bit of a hodge-podge, but it's definitely on my to-do list to release it as a properly packaged (and tested) rubygem.

    We tend to run out of private repos on our organisation gold plan, but have a little ruby script which can pull down some of the older projects (and their wikis), zip them up, arch…
