Done. But looking at the individual settings made me chuckle. Is this supposed to be bad?
Twitter could sure learn a lot from Facebook (and others) about how to be evil. Try harder, guys--you're not even approaching a 2 on the Orwellian scale.

"If someone hasn’t put much thought into their setup and works from their couch 100% of the time, or worse, “doesn’t know yet,” this signals that they might not be ready for a remote position yet."
False. Unfortunately, this (and similarly ignorant snap judgments I've seen and heard) is yet another example of why companies fail at hiring.

Holy frijoles, I was pondering exactly this scenario earlier today while messing around with Caddy and LE, as in: do I want to take a (mostly) static and offline process and directly inject it as another moving part into runtime world, for the sake of its cost, convenience, and overall worthwhileness?
Is there a good alternative, without this sort of process? Or back to the sharks?

Same old story. I worked on a project last year for a company with a startup client that aggregated buying from name-brand retailers for consumers.
The personal shoppers were sending customer purchase data--credit card, name and address details--through email, and those emails were being stored (somewhat unconventionally) in a major customer support platform.
