Well, not officially, but there are solutions for that. Like BDR (or Postgres Distributed nowadays) by EDB.

You do realise this is your experience, and just outs you as a mediocre engineer and doesn't prove that slow and steady doesn't win the race, right?

Or did you write your comment with an intentional self-demeaning note, and not a sarcastic tone?

It's funny - I was just thinking about your book club earlier this morning. Found some good recommendations over there!

I do something similar to your first approach just as I'm about to context switch (either because the day has ended or I have to work on something else).

I write a small summary of what I was doing and what were my next steps at the time, and I write this either directly in the code, in paper or sometimes in a text file. I call them ENDSNAPs (end snapshots).

But the model you mentioned also doesn't work, because it's essentially single-task, IIUC.

Now all I need is for wages to be actually attractive in Lisbon, given the rising rents.

Quiver is a startup developing a cloud storage platform, similar to Dropbox with additional protection and tracking over file usage. Quiver allows a user to share a file with other users and enforce various protections on it, such as a validation expiry date, read-only, geolocation based usage, etc...
