Exactly this. He made an offer publicly, which was accepted and legally binding. He overpaid substantially and proceeded to run the company into the ground.

He looks more intelligent than most project managers.

Remember that, in general, consuming almost always costs you something while producing can potentially give you something. This is true in a very broad sense.

Don't take shortcuts doing DIY. Prepare, use the right tools. Don't skip steps or do things "quick and dirty". Clean up afterwards.

Regarding location for the purpose of determining what language to render the app or website in: the article skips over the fact that users can configure their preferred and fallback languages in the browser. It's perfectly possible to access that in JavaScript and render the app or website accordingly. You don't need location information for that. In fact, it totally ignores the fact that some people live (or are visiting) in a region but don't necessarily speak the language. I find it super annoying when google presents me with suggestions or ads for local businesses when I'm on vacation.

Ehm, from where to where are you traveling exactly? Overseas can mean a lot of destinations depending on where you travel from.

A Fatboy Lamzac.

My wife really likes the beach, but I hate the sand and I find laying flat in a towel very uncomfortable.

This thing fits in my backpack and folds out to a very comfy air filled bed. It does lose some air over time, I expect to re-fill it every 2 hours or so, but filling it is just a matter of catching some air by moving the Lamzac around. It only takes a couple of seconds and doesn't require a pump or anything.

Same here, only LinkedIn is left and that is pretty boring so it doesn't cost me much time to check. Sometimes there is a hint of FOMO, but in general I'm really glad I'm not comparing myself to fake happy people or being targeted by crappy ads. Also, there's all the time I get back. I love it.
