I guess it's different strokes for different folks. Personally, I feel I can communicate much more efficiently via chat/messaging mediums than email. Chatting, in my opinion, at least in a late 20 something (27 year old)'s mind, emulates a real conversation where if you don't respond it's essentially ignoring the other person. If you have a bigger thought, sure you can type it out and get that message to multiple people in a better format - but for the majority of quick Q and A's I don't see any issue with messaging.

The username is quite a sign of his trollingness.

In Milwaukee there are a few spots you can turn left on red technically "after stopping". The locations I know are freeway off-ramps onto one way streets, and simple left turns onto one way streets.

Try finding any newer "non-smart" tvs.

Landscaping designer, worker/Handyman. I get such joy from it and the creating/design aspect stems from my programming ability. Also, anything weather/meteorology related, as it's a side passion.

I like it... will have to look and play around with it. Any chance it could be hooked up to utilize the WeatherUnderground API?

I think the greatest thing about the German language is its practicality. "Ausgang" or "exit", literally from the words 'go out' or 'gone out' but that describes the action and noun. It is the description of the word that becomes the word. "Escalator" is "Fahrtreppe" or "Rolltreppe", literally moving/going stairs or roll stairs.

> Say what you want about our supposed inability to estimate, but I challenge any team to nail estimates within a 20% margin for a large feature on a large app.

Not to be pessimistic but this sounds like stories and tasks needed to be broken out in even finer detail.

At least when I was in Berlin this September the U-Bahn worked perfectly.

I recently used maps.me while in Europe (Germany and Poland), with no data plan and only GPS on Airplane mode. With the downloaded maps, it was great. It even included entertainment, restaurants and some transportation options.

Are you serious?

One of the biggest things people seem to miss is the discounts offered by business through Foursqaure if you checked in at the right time or X amount of times. How FSq didn't exploit that or at least leverage that successfully is beyond me. To me, that was one of the coolest features at the time. Check in at so-and-so restaurant, get a free this or that or $2 off. In addition, it made an easy way to see where other people were at downtown at the bars in college.

Used Skeleton as the backbone for a responsive self service portal; it was great to use and customize!
