Like the others, I'm using a programming language except it is Javascript because we're a Node.js company. It actually works well enough
For archiving a page:
javascript:void(window.open('https://web.archive.org/save/'+location.href));
Should probably encode the href but it has worked so far
No question, just want to say thanks! I've had a lot of false starts trying game tutorials but the ones I found for Bevy were really easy to follow. I was working two versions behind and the changelog for Bevy was so well done that I was able to figure out most of what changed. Bevy was also just straightforward to use.
I was one of two developers on a team of 30 analysts and I would regularly get requests to add employee details (name, manager, director, email) to various spreadsheets. It wasn't difficult but it was a tedious process that took away from far more interesting problems.
Eventually I built a small web app that would allow a user to upload their spreadsheet and have employee details added based on some identifier. It was an enterprise so there was at least three unique ways to match someone. I wrote most of it in one night and spent evenings fixing bugs for a week. While it was very useful, it wasn't "core business" so I didn't get to spend any work time making upgrades.
Eight years later, I still get an occasional email but I no longer have access to the source or server. Definitely a lesson in how long shitty code an live.
> Even more interestingly, because I work in a timezone 9 hours separated from my colleagues I've always wanted to be able to hand over work. In other words, 2 people working on the same story. 1 person works during the night and the other person works during the day. They hand over the code in the morning and the evening. Using the TODO list techniques I was using in the kata (and making sure to end the day on a failing test), I've actually been able to accomplish this with like minded colleagues. It's actually quite incredible. Probably I should write a blog post about it ;-)
I would definitely be very interested in this. Seems like a smart way to work remote or on personal projects.
Vancouver had a big win in the last year where they tore up a railway going north to south (Broadway to 70th) and turned it into a mixed use path. One of the biggest reasons I started cycling this year.
I missed it as well then realised NoScript was blocking it.
Hey, sorry for the wait. I'm still early in building this so it is a bit rough around the edges

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me!
Playing around with ASP.NET 5 on Ubuntu by creating a simple blog. Posts are stored as Markdown files and then parsed on page load.
I'll post a link when I get home since I forgot to push it to Github.
I also do this except I'm using a bandaid, it works well and is good conversation starter.
I took this when it first came out, definitely a good course for beginners or intermediates.
