Seeking a full-time IC developer or manager role (contract terms negotiable).

With over 14 years of experience on product teams across diverse domains such as employee engagement, ed tech, personal finance, and legal tech, I have held various positions from individual contributor to tech lead, team lead, and development manager.

I am highly driven and possess the leadership skills necessary to build and lead high-performing teams.

I would love to connect and see if there's a potential match.

I recently took my Macbook to get a new battery at the Apple Store. While I was there, I asked for them to fix the lid as it was a little loose and was bugging me.

Not only did they not do it (they initially said no problem), they lied and told me I needed to replace the entire panel for $800 as it was a broken `spring` and could not be fixed.

I called bullshit and fixed it myself at home with a screw driver set.

$800 to tighten a screw?!

I asked this question myself when I first started and I think some of these answers are a little too 'SF'. Drop me a line at joelthecoder@gmail.com and I would be happy to share and give feedback.

FYI I'm in Toronto.

A few things in this update broke a production app for us.

Bullshit.

People don't understand that admitting that you do not know does not mean you are dumb. It actually makes you dumb by not admitting it since you're wasting everyone's time by bullshitting and beating around the bush.

Run.

Be scared.

They can complain on Twitter and Facebook which will raise awareness to their American friends who can do something about it.

@jimmy_wales : English only, but protest action is global for English.

We'll be transferring ~30 domains later today.

I know they say a MBA can only have 4GB of ram but that isn't necessarily true.

I had a Macbook (White) from Fall 2010 that claimed could only have 4GB of ram but was able to install 8GB successfully.
