We do a little bit of everything! I tried to pick the best tool for each purpose as I was building the early prototypes, and we've segmented the system to make that easy to develop on. We are looking for people comfortable moving around as much of the system as possible.

Hi, I'm Dean, the first software engineer at Glowforge. Our software deals with a fair amount of Rails, but we also have Node and Python micro services for certain processes. The UI is very Javascript heavy. We're also writing our own firmware in C. The cloud software is managed with a set of Docker containers.

I'd never thought of Harold and the Purple Crayon as related to programming. How is that? In perhaps the broadest sense the crayon gives him the power and freedom to create in the same way software might, but that's a pretty big leap.

I do considerable design and photographic work in OS X. I've been on the Mac platform for my entire life, and I have no real reason to switch now. That said, most of my development work is platform independent– it probably wouldn't make that much of a difference if I did it in Linux, maybe a bit more if I did it in Windows. I just have no reason to do so and I'm comfortable with OS X.

I don't think wanting to stay permanently single makes you broken. I also don't think that you are the sole decider of what makes you a "good" boyfriend or if you need to be a "dramatically better person" to get there.

Do what makes you comfortable and what you think will make you happy and fulfilled in ten, twenty or thirty years. I felt this post made a strong case for thinking of relationships as long-term investments and although it's hard to think on that scale, that may help you with your decision of how to live your life.

Most of my tech support requests come in via email anyway. I send them to supportdetails.com, and they're very happy to send me an email. We have a tech-savvy userbase, so usually they say they liked it so much they'll use it themselves.

Good starting point, but that won't get him trillions of combinations.

Definitely. At first I was thinking "okay, another useless CSS trick" then "wait, just one element?" then "why does this read like I'm watching a video?" then I finally found the play button and just sat back and thought "oh my god".

I had no idea those before and after pseudo elements were so powerful, or that box shadows could be that awesome.

I got a blank recording from this, and then when I tried to send it to you it failed and said the message couldn't be sent anyway.

Some kind of indicator of audio levels is going to be important so users can at least see that it's working properly. Not sure what's up with it not sending, probably an easier fix on your end.
