Is requiring people to submit patches inline via plain-text email a barrier to entry? Yes, obviously.

I had to think for a bit, but once I had a think about it, it did make a bit of sense. But I do think it's very unclear - there needs to be a singular "Learn more" which takes you to a detailed explanation which allows you to OK or disable it.

When I first started, felt bad for being different from what society thinks a “typical” programmer might be. I pushed myself to fit in, to read more tech blogs, attend conferences, go to hackathons because I felt like if I didn’t... then I wasn’t a good programmer. 1/4

My pettiness level: Got told to fuck off by the Mum of the family in Greggs who were stood right up my arse when I politely asked if they could stand back a couple of meters. As a result I was forced to buy the last slice of pizza that their son said he wanted & he cried.

"We hire the best and the brightest engineers!" Now then, to get the job you'll be graded on a series of skills that will not be touched upon ever again for your entire tenure here; some of our interview questions technically qualify as hazing.

If I built software I would simply make every user happy at once, maintain multiple versions of everything, let users roll back to older versions, never ship any bugs, and be feature complete from the get-go but maybe that's just me

I chose the name "Daybridge" for the new company because it's easy to spell, pronounced as it's written, can be spelled unambiguously, and the .com was available to buy. I think these are way more important than people realise when naming a new startup.
