The more you build a real connection with them, the better experience you’ll have. When first working together, I recommend hopping on a quick Skype call to get to know each other a little bit. Build the sense of connection early on and check-in every couple months to see if there’s anything you can do to help make their job easier. If you serve them like a real leader, then they’ll feel cared for and take on more ownership. Make sure you speak to them like a real person once every few months. But make it clear they are not getting paid for the conversation, as this bit of time spending is a double whammy - you aren't doing anything important and they aren't making your life easier. This will help them take on more ownership, the good kind that doesn't involve any sharing of profits. They're family oriented; they don't give a poo poo about profits. What would a family do with profits anyways?

Sagebrush posted:anecdotally, three quarters of the cyclists will be all over the lane when i come up behind them. if they're climbing a hill they're weaving everywhere trying to stay up, and if they're descending they think they're moving fast enough to not have to move over. If a cyclist is descending a steep road with a narrow shoulder, they will often be nearer the middle of the road because of how hosed they would be if they wobbled a little on the edge.

Progressive JPEG posted:github's special snowflake markdown is real annoying to deal with fyi there is really no such thing as a non-special-snowflake markdown. there is a tiny core of markdown that is consistent, and that is good for like 80% of what you need from a markup language, but every single implementation adds crap outside it for its own special purposes, and markdown did not have the foresight to build an extension mechanism into its syntax, so it's all crazy and incompatible this is why swift hosed around with rst for awhile before giving in to peer pressure, it is way better thought out

yeah core-markdown does like four things and everything past that is a custom extension. it's all weird because john gruber could clearly give have a gently caress about being a standards maintainer, but his markdown page is popular enough that my daring fireball shirts get me questions about liking "that markdown site".

i constantly come across pages with malformed code snippets because a markdown parser replaced underscores with em tags markdown is terrible. if you want chumps to style text, just give them ckeditor or something
