I like software, programming, and all things technology. Also, burritos.

Wannabe powerlifter here of about 20 years as well. This sounds like an awesome project! Is bar-path the main metric for safety and "better" lifting? A project I had in mind, once upon a time, was an automatic "Form Check Friday" for myself using a Pi + Webcam.

This developer only has about 6 years of experience working at Amazon. It seems surprisingly naive how little this person understands about what a decent PM shields them from as an engineer, but I've heard working at Amazon sucks altogether. So, par for the course?

The MyFitnessPal desktop application sucks big time. In my attempt to create a better alternative, I found that their value doesn't come in the form of good UX or performance, but their food database. And it's huge.

I didn't want to pay for PostgreSQL on Heroku, so I just dropped the database, but the application is still deployed.

So, here's my useless calorie tracker NomTracker: https://nomtracker.herokuapp.com/

I don't know, I like keeping up with what my old co-workers are up to without actually hitting them up. It's also my go-to place for job hunting. It seems like the most popular.

Ten years of Ubuntu 12 years ago

I used Ubuntu in 2004 right when I started college as a comp-sci student. It was the only distro that worked with my laptop with very minimal effort. I also love the package management (though Brew on OSX is a close second).

Great read, thanks for sharing!

This is great and all, but now I've done some analysis on my own project and it depresses me. Thanks, dude. Thanks a lot.

Point #2, negativity, is one of the more surprising things I've had to deal with. It leaks into your personal life, and nobody likes "that guy/girl" who is critical and pessimistic about every little thing.

Great read, thanks for sharing!

My tmux setup 13 years ago

Thanks for sharing! I was introduced to Tmux at work earlier this year. We used it primarily for remote pairing, but now I use it for anything and everything terminal.

I feel like I plug this all the time, but what the heck...

I played with Ghost (https://ghost.org/) a couple of weeks ago and loved it. It's less about content management and more about content publishing. The editor is wonderful!

Wordpress seems bloated for blogs nowadays, but to each his or her own.

I also run Linux on my laptop at home. Window snapping and auto tiling is a must-have nowadays.

Also, didn't know about #2 (setting window z-positions). Going to play with that later!
