Agreed. It has been consistent enough that I can make a pretty accurate guess each morning based on how I feel. With a consistent scale, I can work on the components (timing, duration, and other factors like alcohol, etc.) and I've made big improvements over the year.

I like my Oura ring and find it one of the least fussy fitness trackers I've used. To me, the battery question is more about time between charging. I can travel for a week on a business trip without taking the charger, no problem. The sizing issue is real and as I dropped weight, the ring became loose and would fall off. I've added a small eva tab on the inside to increase friction and reduce risk until I buy the next version sized down.
The most important metric to me was the sleep score and related components. I've noticed my performance (mentally and physically) is tied to sleep in a huge way. I was skeptical that it would capture sleep metrics accurately, but after about a year of use, I can say without question that the number it presents as my sleep score is a very good proxy of how good I feel throughout the day.
My goal for this past year has been to focus on improving sleep health and for that, the ring has been a very useful tool.

So true. I once received an RFP template where our competitor had forgotten to clear their company (and even author) from the document details. I was glad because it helped us avoid a complete waste of time.

> They also vacuum up the trail of crumbs that led to them, making our standards for new ideas impossibly high.
I enjoy this style of writing. Seemingly simple but packs a lot of meaning (like JoelOnSoftware back in the day).

SEEKING WORK | Remote (location Jacksonville, FL; open to travel)
Full stack Ruby/Rails/JavaScript developer with experience as a technical founder, VP of Engineering, software architect, and tech lead. I specialize in backend development and and data structures. I like writing clean, testable code based on SOLID principles. I like building new tech as well as extending and improving legacy code. As a startup founder, I learned to gather enough data to make important decisions, gather feedback, and iterate quickly to find optimal solutions. I’ve migrated infrastructure from fully-hosted environments to AWS and scaled platforms to handle 10x growth/year. I have excellent communication skills and I’m comfortable working with technical and non-technical stakeholders alike.
Most recently, I was the solo technical founder of a high-volume analytics platform and grew the company to over 40 employees.
Technologies: Ruby/Rails, Angular, React, JavaScript, Postgres, HTML/CSS, AWS, Heroku, Cassandra, Kafka, Redis, ElasticSearch

The ideal candidate reads/follows Resig, Crockford, Eich, etc. not to sound smarter, but because they enjoy mastering their craft. They are well-versed in prototypal inheritance, closures, scoping, and event bubbling because they have learned what works best (based on the strengths and limitations of JS) while improving code that is delivered to customers.

Anyone else experiencing issues with CF more frequently lately? We appreciate the service provided, but we're averaging about 1 customer-impacting issue per week over the last few months. And we are considering alternatives. Today's incident was particularly bad, and you'd have no idea that NA was impacted from the status page.
