Killswitch

Here's the theme used. http://wrapbootstrap.com/preview/WB0N38R04

Yeah, I had that mentality once. "Why should I use 3rd party stuff when I am a developer and can do it all myself?!?!" Then I realized I was wasting time working on stuff that don't matter, instead of working on stuff that mattered.

If that's your thing, that's your thing and go do it. But it's not a lot of peoples, and that's why Slack is so popular.

Let me know how I can do that just by signing up, because my my job is to work on company problems, not emulate Slack in IRC all day long.

No matter how much you push and say that everything Slack offers is doable in IRC, doesn't change the fact that you still have to go through the troubles of setting that stuff up.

While I agree that setting up a bot isn't hard, I've done it for the IRC channel I created and still sit in daily, but fact of the matter is Slack is a matter of signing up and enabling a couple of features.

My job for my company is to build our product, not an internal chat tool. That's what Slack is for.

You mean "Lets clone Slack's UI and say 'look we are just as good at UX as Slack!'"

I'm working on a method to containerize standard shared hosting.

I got the idea because a bunch of my previous clients / colleagues from when I worked in the adult industry are still stuck on shared hosting environments because of cPanel and the like.

I want to achieve the simplicity of shared hosting, with the awesomeness of being able to deploy it anywhere and the beauty of Docker.

But decentralized is the best thing ever!

I hate that argument. If decentralized was so great, then it'd be more popular, but it's not. More and more centralized stuff is exploding in popularity.

Node.js keeps in line pretty heavily with V8, so if you're keeping up with changes in Chrome's JavaScript engine, you're already keeping up with Node.

Plus you don't have to always upgrade to latest and greatest. If your app works fine in 4.2 and there's no crazy security issues you need to upgrade for, don't. 4.2 is LTS so it's going to get supported for a long time.

Nice link, but I'm doing stuff a little different and attempting to tackle a different problem along with it.

Shouldn't but if it's taken down, you can just download the code from the repo and install it using developer mode.

Day Job: Kind of hard to describe, my title says VP of Engineering, but I work for a screen printing and embroidering shop, but I don't work on anything in the company, I was hired as the first and only employee to build a SaaS to help printing shops manage their business, and we'll be dogfooding of course.

Side projects: I have a few, mainly I am building a Heroku competitor using Docker.

Yeah paying for a gym membership is cheaper on the pocketbook, I've got more important things to pay for than a personal trainer. Like supporting my two daughters and fiancee. Sorry.

I've been working on rebooting my life, it's hard, especially trying to get out of a long rut. Eating better, exercising, all of that is fucking tough.

I've had a gym membership for behind my apartment for 2 months now. Tomorrow will be my first day going. I got the membership to remind myself that I have to do it. It's working.

Respoiler: Most people who use such tactics blindly email and don't care. Just as blast as much email as possible and hope something returns.

I could never really get into CS, but because I switched from Sublime Text to Atom, I am thinking of trying to learn it a bit just to hack on my own stuff.

I prefer ES2015 above all subset languages.

Ah, nice tip.

Missed the parent comment, what was it about? I forgot about this thread until I noticed my Google Analytics blow up from you linking this.

I got burnt out working 10+ hour days, 7 days a week for a year, tried to ignore it and push through and was noticeably showing signs of burnout and productivity issues because of it. I couldn't take it anymore and asked for a week vacation. 3 days into the week vacation I was fired.

As a Windows user for 10+ years before going to Mac, I had always heard people make fun of Mac for having no right click, and thought it was possible. But then I used a Mac and instinctively right clicked because that's what I was used to. Low and behold, right click worked.

If you don't investigate yourself, that's your problem.

The small keyboards without the numberpad have always been pretty on par with a MacBook keyboard. Which is why I love them so much.

Before I went all Mac, I had trouble going from a regular keyboard to a laptop keyboard. Always missing where keys are and that. Once I went Mac with the keyboards almost exactly the same, I don't even notice it anymore.

All the Windows users who aren't capable of comprehending or understanding how the stuff they are using works.

I feel she was gloating more on what she did than why she quit, but I am in the same boat, I hate programming for others. I have a single client I work for that pays my bills and the rest of the time I build my own stuff. Sometimes the work for them is so mind numbingly boring and not interesting to me, that I could go a whole month only putting in 15 hours of work.

> The 'million dollar house' you want to keep throwing around

I mentioned it once. You're the one who keeps bringing it back up.

> Right here I start thinking your now being disingenuous, second income?

No second income. My fiance has never, and will never pay anything for me.

> So you lived in Chicago on 528 a month and saved enough to move. You are leaving things out. This was either 40 years ago, you were getting significant social assistance or something.

Oh sorry, I left out the $600/mo the startup I worked for paid the owner of the spare bedroom I lived in. My bad. $1400/mo. And 40 years ago? I'm 30, I moved from Chicago in March of this year.

> Were you single

No.

> Did you have kids

Yes.

> Did you have any medical conditions that needed care

Not that I know of.

> Did you use to have a better job before

I moved to the city with a $100 loan from my step-father so I could afford gas to do the 4 hour drive taking nothing with me but what I could fit in my car, which took a 3rd of that $800/mo just to pay.

You know how I moved? I asked a friend, he came and helped me and packed his truck with what I couldn't fit in my car.

Excuses, excuses, excuses.

Bullshit. Nobody forces you to live in an expensive city. Nobody makes you buy a million dollar house. You chose your own destiny. Stop putting the blame on others.

I lived in Chicago on a $800/mo salary for a year and a half. Yes eight hundred dollars a month, in the city of Chicago. I had no money, but I made it work, then I moved back home to small town Iowa and make a lot more now, and live a better life. Nobody made me do either of those things.

I use OS X, write Node.js, live in Northeast Iowa and I too find the information great, like OP said.

I personally follow Google in what I support unless the project I am working on is specifically for older browsers.

My idea is if Google who owns a huge market share of the web can drop it, it's safe to say so can I.

Microsoft themselves aren't going to be supporting IE8 anymore after January. Let it go.

Yeah, reading that made me think alot about myself and my 6 month old daughter and what would happen if I died as young as my father did (he was 48, I am now 30)

Isomorphic does not mean works without JavaScript. Actually you need JavaScript turned on for isomorphic to work.

On a related topic, I hate the term isomorphic. It's just JavaScript.

But if the author needs to add content, they need to use the generator, if they're using an interface, they're no longer on a static site.
