When I saw the headline I was really hoping this meant that made their site responsive.

Github is pretty much unbearable using a tiling window manager.

It's always bothered me that Google doesn't have pretty URL formating. Well done here.

I was just debating the merits of going with one of the lightweight jquery substitutions for a phonegap app. This couldn't come at a better time.

Dropping the cruft and supporting 1.9 is such a wonderful way to go. Congratulations on a great release jquery team.

Simply amazing.

I'm not sure about books, but I can offer a bit of advice.

Try and get a friend who is good at Linux. Standing over the shoulder and watching someone using Bash, vim, etc helps a lot. I share some tidbit of system usage almost daily with my roommate and its done wonders for me.

I once tried doing this. My colleague was very good at vim and I though I will watch him use it. It just left me very demotivated. The speed with which he was doing things - I could not keep up. At least for me it is better to learn at my own pace and forcing my self to use it again and again until I am comfortable.

A seriously impressive email. As many before me have stated this is a bad situation for SendGrid and I wasn't sure if firing their employee was a good move on their part. This post does a wonderful job addressing everything it needs to in a concise, and appropriate way. Kudos to SendGrid for the wondrous job navigating a very sticky situation.

Wholeheartedly agree. Showing weakness to someone who you respect and someone who respects you is incredibly difficult, but incredibly rewarding.

Thank you for this.

Depression at any level is very real and very serious. Most people will tell you to talk to friends and family. You will be alone, it will be hard; but most importantly, you will be OK. It does get better.

Agreed. This would be fabulous as a vim plugin.

maybe tapping into the functionality of the "conceal" feature? http://demonastery.org/2012/07/lambda-conceal-in-vim/

There would be a trend where people drawing the future tend to draw things they would want in the future. Which in turn society tends to build things they want. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts.

Not too many prophecies ended up being fulfilled from these illustrations, though.
