yeah, surely if 60 Minutes or someone does a large scale report on this it would cave a16z into taking care of the mess they helped cause
Every project has a role of Release Manager. Some teams are small enough that this role is filled by a team lead, project manager, architect, etc. some teams rotate this role to spread the pain and knowledge. Large…
Thank you indeed! While I have fond memories of working holiday pager support early in my career, especially before marriage and kids to cover for those with families, I’m very grateful for those able to cover for all…
The side project of a comp sci degree worked out pretty well TBH
GoldenEye on Nintendo 64 was peak “play video games with a group of friends”. Now, it seems like every game is single player per console. So if my son has buddies over, they all haul their own Xbox’s and monitors (or…
Echo makes for a simple family “phone” for kids before they’re old enough for their own mobile. I also created a free skill for kids to hear the daily school lunch menu. Such a morning time saver!…
That depends on where you live. In the Midwest, most (if not all) parochial private schools pay teachers substantially less than the public schools pay teachers. And it isn’t like the public school teachers are making…

Reminds me of how we bought a Chromebook in 2016, and specifically got a version that was "planned" to be allowed to run Android apps (which was a new thing at the time). Fast forward to 2022, and the ASUS C201 support…
Oh yeah, for sure possible, I just meant doable in the “easily extend the current pattern in an evening or two” kind of way, ha! But hey, if a district or school menu software company wanted to sponsor it, it could…
Ha, maybe! We got lucky that Papillion’s menu has a json feed. If Elkhorn does too then it’s doable. But seems most districts are stuck in pdf files
On a much smaller scale, a bad school app experience is the main reason why I built an Alexa app for anyone in our district to easily ask Alexa for the lunch menu daily…
The joke in college was that our dorm snackbar icecream machine was always "broken" on the night when my friends worked there. I just assumed McDonald's had the same issue where the manager on that shift just didn't…
Coding interviews should just: - review your recent resume - have some conversations around coding topics that dive in enough to know if you generally know what you're talking about - focus on things you really expect…
