jXCw1N0jtH3 | 7 years ago | on: Bring Back the Stick Shift

This is one of the biggest reasons I prefer manual transmissions. I almost never have to look down at the speedometer. I know basically how fast I'm going, and I can keep a constant speed. In an automatic I always find myself going _way_ over the limit without realising it, and I'm constantly looking down at the dash to check my speed and hitting the brakes. It's a terrible experience.

Are we seriously putting Linus in the same category as Newton

jXCw1N0jtH3 | 7 years ago | on: SQL Style Guide

Yeah I like that. Personally I don't indent the join conditions either because of syntax highlighting, but at least yours is readable. The indentation in the "joins" and "subqueries" sections of the style guide are fucking atrocities. Who writes SQL like that?

jXCw1N0jtH3 | 8 years ago | on: LastPass’ Authenticator app is not secure

My approach for anything remotely sensitive, or that could be used to gain access to other accounts, is to generate a LastPass password and to memorize a handful of short "salts" that I add to each sensitive password manually + using 2FA wherever it's available.

Obviously there's no 100% secure approach, but at least this makes me sleep better knowing that if LastPass were comprimized, my stored gmail, bank, paypal, work, etc. passwords wouldn't work.

I'm in marketing and working remotely is kind of a pain in the ass, to be honest. I typically want to have in-person chats with product managers, developers, etc. about something or other on more or less on a daily basis.

I'm a huge fan of remote work, I've had a full-time remote position previously, I just think sometimes it doesn't work with the culture of a team or business. I don't think that means anything is broken.
