This is definitely a plan in the future. My initial use case was operating off of the assumption that whatever server I would be running this on would have git pre-installed, so it was a simple way to…

Author here. Would be happy to answer any questions or clarify things. Its very much moreso a 'fun/useful toy' than 'production software' but there are some interesting princi…

I don't know enough to truly speak on this, but it honestly sounds to me as if you are someone who is very rational and thinks before acting. If this is a detriment to your employer...I don'…

I have not taken a job through it, but I have met many interesting startup team members that I have kept in touch with on an ongoing basis from the platform. I am currently experimenting with it in pa…

While I know this paper carries signifiance, I have to ask: has anyone here actually read this and completely grokked it? While I am far from a point to truly understand the entire thing, I find it so…

Maybe I'm an edge case, but I have never once had to deal with a whiteboarding session in a single interview I have been in. Though, this is obviously a small sample. I've worked at one star…

Author here. Obviously this is purely an experiment/toy. But it was quite fun digging into the guts of git to use it this way in a light fashion. Happy to answer questions and/or take feedba…

I would recommend starting with a calculus book. If you aren't comfortable enough with the trig side of things, do a refresher on OCW or Khan Academy. This book is my personal favorite. http:…

If you get on angel.co and search 'marijuana' you can find a list of investors that have funded such things. As well as startups in the space.

What I mean is lets say I do this: Save my Bench Press Save my Dead Lift Now, I will have the success * message at the bottom from submitting my Dead Lift, but if I go to the bottom and delete it, t…

A couple points I noticed toying with it -- Using the back button seems to keep trying to resubmit the form and break the page for me. Also, you could remove the last result when an item is deleted fr…

I don't mean this as a knock on the author, but outside of full-scale books does anyone know of some resources that go more in depth with building nontrivial systems/apps/programs in El…

Out of curiosity (not ragging on your decision at all) why are you going this route?

No problem. Keep up the wonderful work :)

I've always enjoyed his papers. They carry their own brand of absurdity/hilarity. Here are some others I've seen posted in the past [pdf warning]: http://research.microsoft.c…

I was in a similar position about 6 months ago. With regard to stock etc, I've no advice. The startup I worked for took good care of me even though I was leaving and the entire process was actual…

As someone who has tried this myself, there are no solid 'tutorials' or 'guides'. Unless you are extremely versed in documentation-absorption it will be quite the uphill battle. Th…

He had a remarkable sense of worldview from a young age. At 17 he wrote: "As things stand now, I am going to be a writer. I'm not sure that I'm going to be a good one or even a self-sup…

He actually loved writing for ESPN. His page 2 column was renowned. He actually wrote one of the most eloquent and accurate statements on 9/11 the morning of in that column. http://pro…

True, but compromising part of what made him great and sticking around 'because you might miss something' would also be the antithesis of how he lived his life until that day. He wrote the f…

Sometimes people are just done. He couldn't live the way he wanted and was ready to go. His note: "No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 1…

I finally got the gall to apply to Recurse after a couple years of following their work and folks coming in and out, waiting for the day I was ready for it. I can't help but be really excited jus…

I gave a talk on Volt yesterday using 0.9, and it went great. I'm really excited to see where the framework goes. It may not be a solution to all the problems a lot of us face with webdev, but I …
