> So what to do? Go to nearest coffee shop. You’re lucky if they don’t play tasteless trendy music. You’re lucky if a waiter doesn’t keep asking if you need anything, isn’t intrusive, and doesn’t subtly let you know when it’s time to leave by checking on you constantly . You’re lucky if no teenagers talking loudly about their-whatever-teens-talk-about-these-days.

I used to work from coffee shops until I realized how annoying it is to have a café full of people working on their laptops. A once lively place that was supposed to be an escape to relax, meet friends or read a book has turned into a soulless office environment. I want to go to a café to escape work, not to be reminded of it by constant keyboard sounds or video calls.

> Oh, by the way, pay a lot of money to be here and to drink a nice cup of burnt coffe.

How entitled can you be to think that you can occupy a table for the whole day and expect to only buy one coffee?

> Then rent an office or subscribe to a co-working space? What? I get paid to work, not to pay for it.

Yes, that is exactly you are supposed to do. If you are working remotely and can´t afford a co-working space you are probably underpaid. Your salary should either include that expense or your employer should cover that for you.

I have been using Sublime Text for about 8 years now, I have tried multiple different editors in the mean time including VS Code, Atom, Fleet and I always went back to Sublime Text.

After years of using ST for free, I finally bought a license about two years ago when ST 4 came out, I am also a paid user of Sublime Merge, which is the best git client I have tried.

I ride BMX, road bikes and Mountain Bikes. I've tried a VanMoof two years ago and the build quality was terrible. You couldn't pay me to ride one.

I bought the BlackBerry Classic a while ago and I also own the Key 2.

The BB Classic is everything I want in a smartphone, the build quality is great, the keyboard is amazing in and BB OS is really intuitive and fluid to use.

Such a shame that every smartphone nowadays is just a rectangle with a screen and nothing else...

> I might make an exception for RethinkDB since I loved it so dearly.

Don't get my hopes up... I haven't used RethinkDB in ages and have fully moved to Postgres though

I've been looking for someone to mention open-props and I really enjoy using it.

Yeah, you would have to raise the one-time payment constantly in order to keep up with your own recurring costs, the more users you have the greater your costs will be.

I used to work at Starbucks for about a year and a half and it all depends how busy it is. Unless it's busy, those random conversations with customers where the best part of the job, at least for me.

> Only downside of SEPA is that it is a lot less common outside EU/Europe

SEPA stands for "Single Euro Payments Area" and was build for the EU/Europe, I don't think it's available outside of Europe.

IMO where Parcel shines is when you are building client side single page apps or JS/TS libraries.

I could see that it won't be the right tool for a multi page server rendered app.
