Seriously: I've met a minuscule number of people that can produce genuinely useful stuff when really working more than 8 hours in a stretch. I've met several orders of magnitude more people who think they can. I'm happy existing outside of both groups, and working with similar modest souls.
Also: I'd suggest getting up earlier and finishing at 4.
My Yorkshire village has a playground. They installed CCTV last month. More people complain about the main road changing from a 40mph to 30mph. I don't care if the 'they' is government or centralised or whatever. The numbness to surveillance unsettles me greatly.
A couple of thoughts on the site:
- I'd rather see how many pink shrimps, or fried eggs I'm getting, rather than '20g'. Even if it's just approximate.
- A more 'see through' bag would be good. I realise I could click to see the contents, but I kept getting carried away and adding too much.
- The £2.50 delivery was initially off putting, and then I realised you do local for £1 and larger orders for free.
I'm sure you'll be getting my custom :)
I certainly couldn't have guessed the contents of this carefully researched and well written post. Maybe I'm just not in your 'most of us'.
(and the sass syntax highlighting was also a 'ooh!', as was the automagical git support, as was JetBrains' helpful personal email reply to my filled in questionnaire, as was... well, you get the idea. I'm a happy customer!)
This, the IDE's cross platform support and the IdeaVIM plugin have basically converted me back to an IDE toting developer again.
It feels like a nice fit to MVC/MS stuff (there's certainly plenty of examples of this, and Steve Sanderson now works for MS). And it's easy to bind whatever UI you want to your view models.
Personally I now use KO for even the smallest of JS/HTML 'apps'. It's lovely :)
I still get milk and eggs (and sometimes some pretty bad knock-off Irn Bru) from ours. We're in the semi-countryside just outside of Leeds, and it's not at all unusual around here. Wonderful service!
(using Webkit r83831 on 2009 13" MBP, works a treat!)
Still. Lovely game and very charming and thoughtful artwork.
