> In my case this clearly doesn’t translate to as much value for the organization, or rather, it’s hard to say, as many of those PRs were things I wouldn’t even have done without AI support.
That's not necessarily bad. It could be a sign of effective prioritization. If you're good at working on the most important thing, and suddenly find yourself 24% more productive, what extra are you working on? The things that wouldn't have quite made the cut before.
I have a Das Keyboard Model S Ultimate and I can vouch for the excellent build quality. Cherry MX Blue switches are loud (and I wouldn't use them in an office), but the tactile experience is immensely satisfying.
At work I have a Leopold Tactile Touch "Otaku" Keyboard (http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=leopold,fullsize&...). The switches are Cherry MX Brown, which are quieter but not as satisfying. The build quality on this keyboard isn't quite as solid either.
I don't think Das Keyboard Model S Ultimate had a Brown MX ultimate at the time I bought the Leopold or I probably would have bought that. If noise is an issue I also recommend keyboard landing pads (https://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,slpads&pi...).
Both keyboards are blank which has made me a better typist. I also enjoy the reaction it gets when people come to my desk.
If you're managing your project in a tool like JIRA you could provide your client with a burn down chart. It's the easiest way to tell at a glance how a project is going, and takes next to no effort to produce.
If you're not managing your project in such a tool then you should be. If you're not breaking your job into small enough tasks that the chart looks reasonable then you should be doing that too. Both these things will force you to come up with better estimates and give you a record to learn from to provide better records in the future.
In Canada "Eskimo" is often considered an offensive term. The term is widely taken to mean "raw meat eaters" which is understandably offensive, though it may actually have come from "snowshoe-netter" which doesn't seem so bad.
I'm sure the project maintainer isn't aware of the controversy, but he or she should consider changing the name. A fledgling library needs all the help it can get with getting hung up on something so unconnected.
The author is not applying the term towards a group of people.
The author is applying the term as a name of his project.
I'm sure whatever name he picks, someone somewhere will take the opportunity to either play the offended-victim card, or the white-knight-that-will-save-that-victim card.
Personally, I'm not offended and I hope he keeps the name.
The connection is between an Eskimo (builder) and an Igloo (structure). That is the intent here, used as an analogy.
Edit: No further comments on this, other than I don't see people ranting about a Yeoman... The only imagery shared is a pair of snow shoes and an igloo. Thanks for your feedback!
Analogy or not, I'm not sure how appropriate it is. Try substituting the name of your framework with other ethnicities and see how it feels.
Even here in Alaska, where the name isn't considered offensive, I'd hesitate to name a project after a group of people, especially when the term's acceptability varies.
> This story... is neither a story for the faint of heart nor for the critical of mouth. If you're easily offended, or prone to being a disagreeable knave in blog comments, please stop reading now.
That's a neat trick, limiting your blog post to people who won't be critical of it.
Knave doesn't mean combative, it means deceitful (or servant/worker which I doubt he means here). The most important phrase in my reading is "critical of mouth."
Also, reading a paragraph wrong doesn't make a person a combative jerk. Nor does being critical.
The pricing link isn't at the top of the home page, but it is at the top of 'Features' and 'Get Started.' More over, the list of clients at the bottom includes some large companies. Surely you must realize that someone is paying for something here.
I think Facebook and Google have lulled us into a false, unquestioning expectation that online services are free; when really we should be suspicious of any company claiming to offer a free service.
