This is an exciting take on technical debt. It's the first time I've seen someone require intent in the definition.
Re:Ask HN: What was the best decision you made in your career? on Wednesday September 26, 2018 @12:07PM (#18077356)
Not going into management too early. The opportunity was presented to me on more than one occasion, but I felt I wasn't where I needed to be technically yet. Waiting was worth it, because when I finally made the switch, I was already an influencer and well respected technically. I'm able to call BS when necessary, and actually provide valuable feedback and review to all of my team. I think I would always feel unqualified to lead technical people otherwise.

Re:Apple Is Manufacturing a Siri Speaker on Wednesday May 31, 2017 @04:45PM (#14455758)
I keep wondering why they don't open Siri up to the command line or applescripts. It seems like that would be a great way to grow the Siri ecosystem. Does HN have any ideas why it is so locked down?

Great call out. Also, Xamarin Forms should be even more useful when XAML Standard drops.

I've integrated with several domestic ACH APIs, and none of them are FTP based. Most are SOAP services.

”San Luis Obispo is an extremely desirable place to live and there are only a handful of tech jobs in the area.”

This is definitely not true anymore (the handful of jobs part).

Re:When you're in a team that I lead, there are 3 things that I'd like... on Tuesday July 26, 2011 @03:59PM (#2809223)
As team leader, I appreciate honesty more than how someone sees their self. It takes a stronger person to be honest that they are in danger of missing a deadline. Resources and priorities can be shifted. Teams can adapt, and I'm sure that the product owner would like to know earlier rather than later that the deadline may be missed.
