I'm 2 years shy of 40, have been a software engineer till now. The last 5 years I've found myself enjoying social interactions far more, and am intrigued to go into sales engineering. I'd love to hear from people that…

My mum mailed me to see if I could help her unsubscribe from a recurring payment she keeps getting for additional icloud storage. She no longer owns an Ipad and doesn't know how to disable it. I thought I would do it…

With all the online courses (coursera, edx, udacity) someone made a nice little site where people could vote on courses, and provide reviews of their experience. They put it up on Show HN between 2-5 months ago and I…

I've started a new project that will have me commuting 60km a day. The distance is not too bad, but with traffic as it is I'm in the car for a solid hour. There are a few podcasts I enjoy, but they are relatively…
