I wasn't disagreeing, just adding some more context to this thread.

Apart from the other observations in this thread I wonder if part of the issue is the work culture here. If you call in sick there is often an expectation or requirement that you will go to the GP to get a medical certificate to "prove" you're sick, and having a "cold" isn't typically an acceptable reason for not showing up for work.

I haven't had to worry about this in years but while working in retail I periodically found myself at a GP and being prescribed antibiotics when I would have otherwise stayed home to rest, if I didn't need that medical certificate.

This would have been extremely useful for past me, and I'm sure it will be in the future. Thanks for sharing.

This is great, well done. I'd love to be able to disable the hints (maybe I missed the setting)

I really like the UX on the homepage of emailing a download link to myself.

I've recently been considering building a Shopify app(product renting) but I can't figure out if there is a demand. A similar app has <10 reviews. Do you have any advice?

I watched your Rust for the Impatient video only 2 days ago. Thank you, it was very helpful.

To add my experience. I looked at rolling out Coinbase commerce a couple of years ago and then again a couple of months ago. I found their current integrations lacked support or were seemingly abandoned.

Contacting general or merchant support often took over 2 weeks to get a response, which was a deal-breaker for any service that would inevitably impact customers on our end.

I ran into this problem yesterday trying to find a frontend dev to implement a magento 2 design. I tried the usual places and even tried to hunt someone on dribbble but none of them brought up anyone with those two filters.

Is there something similar for creating an overview of an entire web application to plan and communicate feature set, server stack, application structure, scheduled jobs, etc?

In my case I've built all business functions with the theory of leaving the most enjoyable work for last to keep me motivated. We'll see if it pays off.

Do you have a ETA for flask login support? I literally just rolled my own but I'll want to switch it over at some point.

Thank you for responding. It sounds really interesting and I think I could use something like that, I've purchased it on Audible and will listen to it next.

When you were doing the Pimsleur courses, how far did it help you progress? Did it stick with you?

I've heard "How to win friends and influence people" mentioned regularly. What impact did it have on you, if you don't mind me asking?
