2015 Year in Review
TL;DR — The Delicious Brains team more than doubled in size, revenue nearly doubled, and we started selling a second product. I had a great year personally playing ultimate, tennis, and traveling to Mexico. Wow, look at that, I only published one lonely article here in 2015 and it was my year in review.

2014 Year in Review
While reading the many year in review posts, I couldn t help but reflect on my own year and decided it would be worthwhile to spend some time reflecting, digging through my calendar and email, and writing a review myself.

Just this week we switched from using Gmail to Help Scout for product support. I was really hesitant to make the switch. Gmail has worked exceptionally well for us throughout the past year.

We had only been two people up to [ ] The post We used Gmail for product support for our first year and it was great appeared…

Stop commenting your code just to say you did
Summary Code comments that point out the obvious make the important comments harder to spot. Developers are better off when there are only a few comments for the code that deserves an explanation. You open up an electrical box and see a few hundred wires. Lots of different colours that don t mean a heck [ ] The post Stop commenting your code just to say you did appeared first on bradt.ca .
A Better Writing Process for Perfectionists

And the feeling persists, discouraging me [ ] The post A Better Writing Process for Perfectionists…
