A significant source of frustration at $dayjob recently has been the _inability_ to test in production. We've just deployed Stripe, and if you're using prod API keys, there's no te…

One of the earlier things I tried was to encourage myself to learn using a less awful layout (DVORAK as you suggested), and it didn't go very well unfortunately :( That's very inte…

Thank you mate, great stuff all around! :)

Hi HN! I'm an engineer and I've always typed very poorly since I was young. My parents tried everything to get me to learn properly when it became apparent that I was predisposed t…

Remote is in the title of the post and mentioned multiple times throughout the post. I dare say we're not posting frequently enough, that's a good point. It's against company polic…

The thinking behind a smaller company is having fewer barriers in your way to accomplish things, but you're absolutely right in your third graf. The proposal of tiring yourself out…

Oh right, I understand now. That's a great idea to noodle about, thank you!

Thanks. My concern here is potential difficulty moving back up when I'm ready, and having to explain it.

I'm pretty thoroughly burned out. I've been a cog in a very broken machine for too long, but I stayed because I love the people and was a highly motivated useful idiot. Now that I'…
