This is the key. Ask all the developers for a ranked top-3 list of who they would most prefer to go to for help with a programming problem. Put that data together and you know who your best are.

Before the inevitable protest: I believe the ability and willingness to communicate with other developers is a vital skill in this business.

A nice layout. For fun I attempted to actually print (to PDF) and boy was that messed up badly! Guessing that's not the type of "print" you had in mind. :)

Maybe a decent short-throw projector?

We're in the process of migration a large MVC application from Framework 4.8 to .NET 6. It's been....painful. Hopefully at least for a while updating to new LTS versions will be less so.

For me, the TRS-80 Model I (4k). I later "graduated" to the TI-99/4A (16k) and Commodore VIC-20 (5k).

Typically wherever you buy it they will have small Styrofoam coolers next to it. It typically comes sealed in thin plastic bags. Get it home, put on a glove, and throw it in your freezer. Any glove is fine as long as you're not standing there with it in your hand. There are several grocery stores that have it available here.

We use WKHTMLTOPDF (https://wkhtmltopdf.org/). In our case it's in the Rotativa package (.NET MVC). There are a few caveats; it uses an older headless WebKit engine that doesn't support everything. We use the QT Web Browser (http://www.qtweb.net) to test/debug when needed. We do design pages to be specific "paper" sizes and lean on SVG a lot for anything fancy. We have some JS that breaks long tables into multiple tables, etc. But the resulting output looks flawless.

I don't know about other areas, but here in the middle of Oklahoma the Dollar Generals have been a real positive. There's a lot of rural areas where a Walmart came in, then folded later. It left a 1-2 hour drive to get buy any kind of "real" food. The DG stores here have been expanding to include an actual grocery section, including fresh produce and (limited) fresh meat. More is available frozen. They have excellent prices on canned goods. Are they as good as a full grocery store? No, but they're a _lot_ better than the gas station/convenience store and its endless supply of deep-fried burritos...and also the only alternative.

Ditto, hope the men in suits don't come down.

Insurance. At least, until 2014.
