propeller_head··on Show HN: Edna, note taking app for developers
Math blocks are truly great. I did try converting `2 tbsp butter in grams` and nothing happened, which I half expected.

I guess a "cooking" block would go a long way - at least for me!

propeller_head··on Ask HN: Living in Berlin, family of 4, working for tech
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I heard about work life balance there; in a way seems similar to Australia so that's good.

What about inclusion? You and your family feel like you're part of the community in a way? Not much racism/discrimination because you're a foreigner?

As a colorblind person I thought that was me seeing things but then, after inspecting the code, I could confirm: 86% red.
propeller_head··on Ask HN: What are some interesting open APIs out there?
That looks great though, so much info! Thanks!
propeller_head··on Ask HN: What are your coding/working ethics?
Fair question. Not a humble brag, no.

I guess I'm trying to understand what the modern IT office looks like. I have close to 20 years of experience and used to do things a certain way and accountability - of my own tasks and keeping my boss accountable as well - is high on my list of values.

When I changed jobs I'm now confronted with a new environment where people do things differently, which is totally fair.

But I don't believe working on top of other people's tasks without talking to them first is a good practice. To be honest I think it's quite rude.

That's what prompted me to ask this question. What are people doing? Do you use PR's? Do you commit on other peoples PR's? Do you talk to people? Is everything nowadays that Slack is the norm and talking is overrated?
