I run a very small software consultancy and ZenPayroll is amazing. Very simple to get set up with direct deposit, very, very highly recommended.

I was deeply into it as well (though not at your level). I was so happy when a question I asked was printed in Action Pursuit Games (something like should I upgrade to nitro or sta…

Yup! You might have to eat some humble pie, but if they were serious about you they'll easily have you back.

They weren't late, though? If they wanted people to show up 5-10 minutes early, make the training at 5:50 or 5:55. Don't say 6 and really mean earlier.

Wow this is awesome. I had to integrate Alipay into a checkout process in ~2010 and it was a complete nightmare - and not even as a result of the language barrier. The API was just…

I generally agree, but if the retailer is large enough they almost certainly pay a percentage of their cash payments to a Brinks-like company to securely handle the transfer of the…

I think you're exactly correct, and "unlimited vacation" is almost always better for the company than the employee. Here's a great essay on the ills of a policy like this: http://j…

It has Node.js, which I guess is JavaScript. Or do you want direct access to V8? Edit: If you expand the list of supported languages, it shows Python too.

This is an incredible piece of advertising and the very definition of advertising done correctly. It's funny, relatable, and immediately makes you want to buy the product they're s…

I'm of the same opinion. I host all of my production apps on Linode (the 8 cores is nice too), and my staging environment is on DO. I don't mind paying more for Linode because I th…

All of my repo's have a 'build-dev' script in the root of the repository (see here: https://github.com/brightmarch/picto/blob/master/build-dev ). Run that after you pull it down an…

You have some usernames and passwords (to what looks like production servers) sprinkled throughout your app. May need to change those ASAP, wipe your history, or something. Lots of…
