This is truly a game changer for flight controllers. You can easily write programs for your FC and only your imagination is the limit.

I convinced my family to move to Signal. Perhaps try that.

Upvoted just because of your tech stack.
niels | 8 years ago | on: Elm in Production: 25K Lines Later
Yep, Agree. I specifically used elm-mdl and elm-ui. Elm-mdl were not well maintained and elm-ui, while nice, is desktop only.
niels | 8 years ago | on: Elm in Production: 25K Lines Later
When I last tried Elm, I didn't find any really good UI libraries. Also there weren't any good solutions for i18n. Has the situation changed?

The owner of SmartOdds betting company, Matthew Benham is applying his company's statistical insights to the clubs he owns. This has proven quite successful. Great to see Arsenal doing the same.

niels | 12 years ago | on: Dear Europe, please help Bulgaria
Sadly I don't know much about the current situation in Bulgaria. But it is one of the most beautiful and charming countries I've visited. Corruption is rampant. We paid off a police officer (for speeding) and a local official (faster paperwork) in the week were there. It's crazy cheap to stay there.

Yep, Trance works for me as well. I use di.fm/trance.

I think what you are describing is pretty common among developers. The good thing about your situation, is that you have the power to change your self limiting behaviours. You have to push yourself. Finish a webapp and post it to HN. Get involved in a local tech group and do a talk. Sign up for a MOOC from Coursera or Udacity. All of these requires hard work, but will give you confidence. Beeing successful as a software developer is as much about how you market yourself as how good a dev you are. So if you want success, you have to learn how do those things. I'm learning this as well. It's not easy, but necessary.
