Did you intentionally leave out the rest?

"nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

Who gets to decide which groups "should be ignored". The pig farmers certainly don't agree. The whole point of competitive districts is that the groups who should be ignored will be eliminated by competition. Your whole premise seems to set up all districts with functional lifetime appointments rather than elections.

Sure it does, it just doesn't sell it to you. You are not the purchaser of the information, you are providing the information that's being sold.

I think it needs to be taken in the context of the twitter backlash against the 10x engineer tweet. The tweet was largely interpreted as "10x engineers are brilliant jerks". People have been writing about toxic environments created by brilliant jerks for years and I think Human Interest is just trying to avoid creating an environment like that.

If that's not how you want to work, that's alright, but casting is as discrimination feels like a stretch.

I find this comment interesting because my experience is the exact opposite. (I won't bore you or tempt the trolls with details) I don't mean to downplay your experience at all. My working theory is that you just think the way the rails devs do and I think the way the Django devs do.

Something like indexDB our one of the layers on top if it are probably good solutions.

CSV is probably easier to work with, if you're having trouble converting from xlsx to csv, DM me and I can help out.

It sounds like your peers level of commitment is not inline with yours. This can turn into a pretty significant problem.

IMO, one of the roles of an early stage leader is to set an example for the work ethic expected. Those long hours aren't sustainable forever, so when it's time to throttle back, it's the leaders job to set that expectation as well.

For us that has generally meant that the leaders needed to take time off and also encourage others to do so.

Here are a few thoughts, some people may disagree with me, but you're new, so you don't get to be one of them.

1) Use git. Go create an account on github and use that. If you don't know how to use git, there's a tutorial at http://try.github.io/

2) Do all of your development on your local machine. That means that your local machine should be able to run your site.

3) Try to make your deployment process as simple as possible. Since it sounds like your site is small, you can probably get away with pulling the new code and restarting your web server. Total downtime should only be a few seconds. You can make it more complex as you get your feet under you.
