This morning's insanity - eliminating the Penny without years of pre-planning. Changing the rounding rules on payroll and invoice calculations in large scale software systems will likely require 1000s of man hours to achieve.

Somebody in the #denver Center for the performing arts #dcpa has decided to block the main entrance/ exit with temporary barriers for an unexplained reason. The only entry/exit is now via the disabled ramp, 3 people wide. Leaving a performance last night, there were 100 people kettled behind

Has there been any discussion about the consequences of elimination of taxes on tips to worker's social security payouts? Would workers agree to it knowing that it could cut their payouts by a third or more?

Please please please bring the team into Denver somewhere south of I70. In fact, there's plenty of space in the DTC close to the light rail. Imagine, a stadium that you could get to on public transport. Anyway, that's my dream. Also, could you add covered stands and seating

The most worthless piece of infrastructure in the City of Denver. Elevator 1Z at the Colorado Convention Center. This has now been out of order for 2 years (or possibly more). This elevator provides access to the convention parking garage to people using the Denver Center for the performing arts.

I run an offshore #PHP team and am constantly looking for bodies. Has anyone been able to locate a good source of programmers capable of developing outside of frameworks such as Laravel and Codeignitor and what country were they from?

In Colorado the Healthy Family Workplace Act (HFWA) applies to every employee, and allows the accumulation of 1 hour of paid leave for every 30 hours worked, up to 48. You can use this leave for a variety of health related reasons, including preventative healthcare

Like many others, most of the people I follow come from starter packs. Is there a way to find out what starter pack this person is in? I feel we are getting needless overlap in specialized fields, I've just been offered a starter pack of 30 people and all but 1 I already follow

Great idea, installed app. Says that they don't do airport trips at the moment, which is 90% of my use of ride-sharing

Did a JS developer interview today using Teams.The interviewee attempted to answer every technical question by typing it into chatGPT and reading the answer back. Apart from it being hilariously obvious, what have they been doing for 12 years in the industry that they can't answer a single question

of course Boulder took the signs down but our city would be a better place if they hadn't.

“Get off your damn phone”: Boulder hit with fake, profane traffic signs
Messages including “Slow down (expletive),” “Put the phone down (expletive),” “Don’t kill any kids today” and “Slow the (expletive) down” were displayed on the signs, police said.

Something we might try in Denver instead of hoping that building another ultra-premium block will bring down rents
This is great. Developers in Victoria also need the clear message that affordable rental & missing middle, not luxury condo are the priority www.timescolonist.com/local-news/v...
Victoria council waives development fee for new below-market housing projects
Expected cost of not charging the fee is expected to be $1.8 million for one year, to be covered by a federal grant.
