I've been using this for the last 3 months and it's a pretty amazing tool.
We need to spin up tools quickly for our operation teams and this has been a godsend.
The support has been amazing as well. Very quick response times and fixes when we report any bugs.
For one thing, I do know my life revolves around programming.
I work from home and so get to spend time with my kids and have a pretty chill time, but everything I do, is calculated towards solving that next problem.
E.g.when I'm stuck on a problem, I go play with my kids to rest and passively process it.
To me, this is a pretty chill life. This is what a "life" means to me.
Traditionally, people's careers have always been their lives. Blacksmiths, farmers etc, why can't it be now?
Escape? Those who wished to escape took different paths, visa lotteries and the like.
Those of us who've stayed back and are actively involved in tech entrepreneurship have little desire to leave. We would have already, we have the skills.
Ghana might not have it the best, but every country started like this. It takes dedication from its citizens to grow and that mindset is catching on now.
Not to detract from the rest of your answer though.
There were 4 of them out that night. And the driver closed for the day to hang with them.
After he dropped them, they realized the devices were still in the car, and immediately tried to reach him. And he never picked up.
Well, he never pursued the issue further and left it at that.
I've had some rather good experiences e.g. where the driver called me, and brought back the stuff to me after he was done at the end of the day and refused to take any money as a reward.
On a night out drinking, a friend invited their uber driver to join them as they had a great connection (this is Africa so its not really strange).
At the end of the night, said friend forgot all his devices in the ride and after trying to reach the driver for days and failing, we reported the issue to uber.
Uber called the driver and he denied he'd seen the devices.
Uber basically gave us the finger and told us they could do nothing.
He didn't actually say "nepotism is a beautiful thing".
While I absolutely do not agree with Trump or his family and what they are doing, I hate to see when people, with a subtle twist change the meanings of what people say.
Trump has done enough to fuel negative press for decades. We don't need to make stuff up.
Rails simply does more for you out the box with just a few macros.
