Very impressed. Unfortunately, it seems really easy to use up one's API calls. I was making edits to code comments Stenography made to a file and managed to use up all my calls just doing that.

You mean Memex (Vannevar Bush)? Still waiting for a good implementation of that one. If you find something, I'd like to know.
Along those lines I use !Diigo for keeping highlights/notes from web reading (it also works with PDFs, can import Kindle highlights, etc. but I rarely use these...the experience isn't smooth enough). Unfortunately the service hasn't seen a lot of enhancements recently...

I used Leet Resumes within the past few weeks and was quite satisfied with the result they turned out. Definitely an improvement over my version - which had been through multiple revisions (by me) and several automated services.

Just spent a few minutes on the site. Seems solid overall, but I think the following would help it take the game up a notch:
1. Separating media perspectives into left/right/central so individuals can quickly find and read an opinion written from a specific perspective.
2. Provide a brief summary of the arguments presented in the media articles.
Good luck with the site!

I use several Chrome extensions. Two of my current favorites are Diigo and Raindrop.
Do you currently use Chrome Extensions?

A lot of great developers are self-taught...but I hypothesize that many of these developers had one of several advantages in their favor. (1) They began working with tech at an early age, (2) they had the financial wherewithal to focus on tech full-time if introduced at a later age, or (3) they're just really, really smart.
I'm not going to categorize myself as one of the "great developers" -...
Do you think a university degree is relevant for tech jobs?

What progress do you see occurring on the universal internet/online identity front?
Been researching this topic a bit, curious to hear where others see progress/hope and where perhaps things have stalled/failed. I'm thinking of technologies/standards like OpenID, WebID, Decentralized Identifiers (DID), IndieAuth, WebAuthn, etc.

i subscribed. :) the one thing that isn't clear to me (from this page or site) is whether the newsletter's target audience is women or all? e.g., if it is articles primarily for women about how to be a female founder, usefulness for myself may be limited. If it is articles about what women are doing as founders, then that would be more useful to me.

Pretty good, I recently used emblemmatic's MarkMaker which seems quite similar. Both have their strengths. Biggest problem from my perspective is limitation on icons.
Pros: Nice process for refining selection of fonts, great variety of icons
Cons: Can feel like selecting fonts won't ever end, limited to three icons
