This is a terrible solution. Writing is part of the developers job requirements. And writing doesn't just happen in documentation. It happens in emails, technical specs, presentations, code comments. Developers should maybe just get better at their job because documenting and writing is part of it.

Miami has had a nice cultural revolution in the last 10 years or so. A lot more art and culture than before and tons of things to do besides partying on South Beach. Many areas of Miami feel more like SF in LA than Trump country.
The only thing I really got out of this long article was the importance of having a customized organizational and workflow system that suits your lifestyle. For me there's two books / methodologies that has made a huge impact in how I think about and organize my work. The first is David Allen's getting things done system. It is extremely generic but comprehensive and suitable for pretty much any kind of knowledge worker. The second is using a personal kanban board for organizing all of my work and personal tasks. Highly recommend the book Personal Kanban.

Yep. I found Amazon pretty useless these days and rarely use it. I buy household essentials from Target their service and delivery is good and I have an option of in-store pickup within a day or delivery within a couple of days. At least they have a stable set of brands that they sell it's not the highest quality but it's good enough for most things. The things I care about quality I will buy directly from the seller.
