Used to use Car2Go all the time on holiday, recently had major problems re-activating my account after they became Share Now. Staff still answered the phone as "Drive now", it was a very confusing experience, which concluded with "wait 7 days for a human to review your account". Perhaps if they made sign up easier, they wouldn't be struggling!

If everything is based on performance metrics alone, surely there's a feedback loop here? Employee A starts peeing in a bottle, so their performance numbers go up, then at the end of the week they have better performance numbers and everyone else's targets are increased to be more inline with employee A. So more people start using bottles and taking shortcuts and the problem just increases over time!

Well this finally gave me the bump to move my DNS away from Dreamhost, which I have been meaning to do for literally years, now to sit and wait for the new name servers to propagate.

I think the key problem is more that PHP is easy for developers to pick up and there is a lot of misinformation, in particular very outdated PHP 'tutorials' out there that have the whole idea quite backwards.

As it's often the first web development language picked up by people, who may not necessarily know what they're doing, it gets a bad reputation. Used correctly, however, it can be just as powerful as any other web development language.

Well it certainly looks interesting, shame there's no kind of demo to see what the game's actually like, without paying £75.

For early stage it looks pretty good! Would move to see it completed. It suit Civ style play particularly well if it could be set up to notify everyone when it was their turn (similar to how some online chess apps function).

Really like the idea, my uni is currently investigating use of domjudge to mark assignments, but couple that with face to face feedback while reviewing the code.
