Absolutely. Sometimes you just want to output a quick CSV, open it locally in familiar spreadsheet environment, and explore.

This approach only works if you know your resume will be read by a person exclusively, and not machine parsed.

If you've built a wrapper around the integration in your application logic -- such that handling the actual HTTP requests has been abstracted away from the rest of your application -- then you can use a mocking framework (like Mockito for Java) directly in the unit tests. If you haven't, or want higher-level / isolated integration testing, you can create a mock application that mimics GitHub's API, put it in a Docker container, and use a docker-compose.yml during testing to quickly spin up your new test environment.

Listened to it last week -- The gist is that they've found a new home with the CNCF & The Linux Foundation, which bought the IP so that they could continue working on it publicly. Besides the database (which was always open source) this is especially important for parts of RethinkDB that were meant for "enterprise-only", which the company was working on internally before they shutdown. All and all the community support sounds strong, and after listening I decided to take another look at Rethink for my next project :)

Initial demo for Face ID failed -- Obviously less than ideal when trying to convince your audience that "it just works".

Growing up I initially had tiny regular allowance, which gradually became tied to specific weekly chores & subsequently bigger. As parent myself now I think approach works well, as it balances "I'm giving you this $ because I love and support you" and "hard work should be rewarded"

Not thinking about team morale until it becomes a issue. Negative mindsets can spread through a team quickly, and once they take hold they can be hard to root out.

Spot on. As a manager, it's your responsibility to delegate effectively.
