Google Wave, was ahead of its time!
We used it HEAVILY at work (IT), then all the sudden--boom! It was not going to be developed any more. I still don't get it. Google, with all their resources couldn't support this?
Ok, instead of getting upset (AGAIN!), I'm just going to go back to the initial post from 16 years ago. Perhaps reading the comments might calm me down.

Why do I have Nathan Fielder's look in my face (same when he was staring at as EH on the pilot), as I'm going through all the features on this site?

Forever open tabs in Notepad++ (475 and counting for the lost 6 months at least).
I've used so many 'productivity' apps, it makes me sick to think of it. This has been the most consistent tool I've ever used.

Great work! I'm saving this one (I have it in a loop rn on my big screen).

Yeah, thanks for both posts. I love the narration with the live coding (like a conversation with voice and code). If I can get to that level, I'll die a happy man.

My friend, and ex-colleague, recently quit his high-paying tech job (Linkedin). In his blog "Wandering Ideas of an Engineer", he continues to journal his path focusing on growth.

I have an always running session of Notepad++ with (currently) 356 tabs open. I can search through all of them if needed. This worked for me after also piloting several solutions.

I TOTALLY thought this was going to be an article about Major Hayden's resume:

I was Alex (my name is not Alex). Graduated high school in 97, but with a 2.1 GPA (yeah, pretty bad). Went to community college while working part time, living in a 'separated' household (mom/dad did the splits), supported both my parents both emotionally and financially (as much as I could) through their transition and new living arrangements. We were all immigrants, and still learning the ropes in this wonderful country. I did not graduate college, but instead went the part-time/apprenticeship/gain-experience route, while going through many roles. My baseline was to be a good citizen. A good son, a good partner, good friend, good husband and a good dad (4 wonderful kids). There were many good times, but also sad times, including when we lost our house and cars (2008), and that month when we literally didn't have money for food... but this country gives you many opportunities. There are safety nets, use them! You just have to focus on the goal: Move forward! There is always someone else who needs more help than you. Stay the course, and try not to lose perspective.
I'm one of the luckiest people alive because I live in this country, and was always able to surround myself with supportive, positive and forward thinkers.
I don't know why I shared this. Maybe because I don't care to blame society for my adverse experiences. Through those experiences, I learned to lead. I learned to listen. I learned to value and appreciate. I learned to live.

Well... It just took me about 7 minutes to write all parts of one song, and it actually sounds like something that could have played in the radio (popular). This was in a Latin rhythm too. I don't know what to think of this :\
