I'm positive I've recognised some items from the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jabberwocky poem.

Quick tip - screenshot is good, but add a video of the bootloader in action, it will get you more shares from the visual crowd.

Watched the talk a few years ago. Several times. It really hit home. Before, I would try to introduce abstractions as soon as I had one instance of duplication. After, my code has more duplications, less nesting, less abstractions. It's easier for a newbie to understand (or myself down the line), it's easier to delete and modify. I've shared the mantra "duplication is better than the wrong abstraction" with colleagues on many occasions.

Given how much hype blockchain projects attract, I'd dare say that it's about time we had distributed and uncensorable crowd funding platforms.

I have this habit too, and always wondered about it. Wish someone would have done a study on it.

I've managed to break the daily habit by installing a browser extension that removes the main feed, while leaving the others, e.g. groups.
Not able to delete my account completely, because some of the social events I partake in are organized via FB.

In my country you can apply for social housing online - but you never know when new listings will be published. So I built a scraper that used a telephony api to give me a call when a new listing was published. On a Friday night I got my automated call, looked at the listing and immediately booked a place on the queue. I was second. But the first person must have said no to the flat, so I got it. Paid very low rent for the few years that I had it. They added a captcha soon after.

I imagine it would be great to sit through my commute, while typing something on my knees, with the touchscreen keyboard integrated into the fabric of my trousers.

I have to remind you of Excel. A large fraction of office workers today use it to 'code', transforming data given the rules they wrote.

They better have a leet reader at hand, as they might get a lot of cover letters written in it.

I am reminded of a different creature: Rat Thing from Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash.

A Readme with some screenshots I would find useful.

The only cheat sheet I remember using was http://www.viemu.com/vi-vim-cheat-sheet.gif when I was learning vim.
Otherwise just googling a quick answer seems most efficient (or quickly searching through the code).

Can you give an example of what you consider "instant message virtual keyboards"? Do you mean voice recognition services like those offered by Apple and Google?

SEEKING WORK – REMOTE or in Vienna, Austria.
Full-stack Python/Django web developer; have worked remotely with clients outside Europe.
I have worked on:
* a large database app for a local university
* webserver automation software for a local hosting company
* coin catalog and shopping cart for a local collector
* property management app for a company in China
* simple games
I have a CS degree and have worked with non-python languages (Java, PHP, Delphi, C/C++) in the past. I’ve held a few workshops on python for programming novices at a local university. MacOS, zsh, vim and git are essential tools for my workflow.
