Wegmans is the best. They do show it in their home - Rochester, NY area.

Do you get the benefits of separation by using separate data stores as well, or are most fed from a common database?

Is this a problem? Do you find yourself waving at your webcam much?

That isn't true at all. Trunk based is perfect for this because you have the clean release branches from the trunk.

I've worked in large companyies very successfully using TBD and releasing quarterly to enterprise customers using our software on their systems.

I like my aeropress, and used to use it with beans from my local roasters.

But as of late I've switched back to just making regular ol' drip coffee in a cheap coffee maker with Chock full 'o nuts coffee.

As easy as an aeropress is compared to other quality brewing methods, I still find the drip machine much easier -- load up the filter and water, walk away, come back and pour a cup. (Plus, I can't seem to get my aeropress not to also pee down the side of the mug as I press it down)

Somehow, my coffee experience hasn't degraded at all. No, it doesn't taste the same, but to me it's still totally fine, and almost always a better coffee than the drip I get from most coffee shops.

Amazing coffee in an aeropress is just a white whale for me.

That about sums up most things Google does for developers.

Can you provide some examples? Need to push for changes like this myself.

AirBnb and friends could not exist without the basic tech. they're tech doesn't need to be groundbreaking, but in the very least they're an e-commerce like platform of sorts.

At WeWork tech is so secondary to their requirements. Sure, they can make it more and more required -- just like fridges do these days. But for WeWork the tech is about as necessary for you to derive value as a touchscreen on a fridge is necessary for you get get value from the fridge. _Just because it relies on technology doesn't make it important to it_

"Twitter has an algorithm that creates harassment all by itself"

What am I missing here? There was no harassment of any sort. Alternative headlines could have been:

"Twitter has an algorithm that helps you gain more followers"

"Twitter has an algorithm that helps you drive awareness"

"Twitter has an algorithm that helps you get more twitter followers for your cause or business"

"Twitter has an algorithm that expands your social impact from beyond your sphere."

And if they weren't opaque, gaming them would be even easier.

I don't _think_ I'd call it hipster - hipster has a lot more white.

This actually reminds me a LOT of making websites around 2006 - 2012.

There has to be something somewhat out of the box for this, no? It seems insane to have to build this for any given project.

I'd imagine you could use Segment (or source(s) that plugs into it) to accomplish much of this.

I'd be very interested in this

> engage auto-pilot for "non-interesting" tasks.

Routine is useful. My life is full of mini routines, although not necessarily making as cohesive as a picture as they could, there are certainly plenty of gaps.

I have a bad problem where things go to shit if a normal "auto-pilot" task of mine has to changed.

Simple example, I always have my keys in my pocket, I feel for them as I walk out the door. They're there, I continue. Same thing with my truck (it has manual locks) - I feel for the big plastic on the key, then close the locked door.

However, when leaving the house without pockets (in dirtbike gear), there is room for things to go wrong for me.

I can't just check that pocket. So I either have to replay putting the keys in my bag or not be lazy and check the bag.

I've had to learn to not be lazy and require physical proof... because last time it turns out they were indeed in the bag, _but the bag was in the house_.
