Printed template, multiple exposures. There are images of the template around middle of TFA.

Amen! Not just junior engineers. PMs, analysts, testers. We all have a lot to learn from the rest of the team!

I can't upvote this enough.
I love _something_. I hate talking to other people who love _something_. ...use the combinations you enjoy.
Bless the parent comment.

I'd call The Köln Concert "protracted edging".

I see what you did there. :)
eyan | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: As a small development team, how do you get projects?
Not doing it in a structured way. Catching up with friends in the industry. Mostly over coffee. Local customers.
eyan | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: As a small development team, how do you get projects?
I'm on the same boat. Strengthening my network at the moment. I don't know exactly how to move forward as well. I'm in the Philippines.
For inspiration, I'm reading this again and again: https://www.winwithoutpitching.com/the-manifesto/
eyan | 9 years ago | on: Exercise 'keeps the mind sharp' in over-50s, study finds
I was being kind, sir.
What I was trying to say is: I don't give a flying raccoon if people want to exercise or not.
So yeah. No strategising from me.

> The real question is how do you get people of their ass and start exercising?
You don't. You wait for them until they decide and act on their decision.

I totally agree with this analysis.

> Saying 'it's not a business model' is basically equivalent to saying 'I don't have to worry about money.'
No, Sir. I think the point flew past you. Saying "it's not a business model" means that you need to worry about how to sustain yourself from the get-go if you want to go where ever pleases you, open or closed source.

Most insightful comment in this mishmash.
I'll say it again for future searchers of wisdom: Open Source is not a Business Model.

Offtopic but... I'm cheering for pyret! And for the group behind it of course. :)
eyan | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: Where do you go for learning about health and well-being?
I've been focusing, and doing, this wellness and exercise thing lately. Just reading for the last several years.
Best article, which led me to action, is this http://www.mensjournal.com/magazine/everything-you-know-abou... together with the book The Power of Full Engagement https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0743226755/ref=as_li_tl?ie...

eyan | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: What is the future of back-end development?
How far into the future are you looking at? There's got to be a server somewhere. Somebody has to write code for those, aside from caring and feeding.
Smaller applications, in the Big Data sense, will still be used on site. At least say, 10 years down (yeah, pulled that figure from my ass).
So no. I don't believe that back-end development will be obsolete. Middle is the new back.
