I respect them too. Here in the UK I always try to say good morning and thanks to our bin collectors.
Do you know how many hours do they do? Is it the fact that when their route is complete they are finished for the day? Because then there is a pretty good incentive to work hard and fast.
We (stannp.com) created an app for the shopify marketplace some time ago which helped shops send letters and postcards to their customers. The app would sync recipients with our platform or trigger mail to be posted. The shopify rep said we had to implement their billing API on across our whole platform so they get a 30% (i'm sure it was 30% back then) cut on all transactions. It drove me crazy because I saw mailchip in the marketplace and I'm pretty sure they didn't implement the shopify billing API and give 30% for their subscriptions.
I used to use Netbeans for PHP dev and loved it but development of the IDE seemed to slow down and the transition to the Apache foundation took too long. I have since gotten very familiar to using VS Code with the PHP intelliSense addon. VS Code is very fast and light on resources and has an addon for almost everything.
I do this too. Particularly when I'm reading something online or thinking. I was smoothing my sideburns whilst reading this post, looking for "that special hair". I favour my sideburns and beard.
I have looked at react.js a couple times after reading more and more buzz about how fantastic it is. However I'm instantly turned off of switching to it when I read that HTML (which isn't HTML and is actually something called JSX) goes in your js files.
With angular I can keep all my HTML in my HTML files. Is this normal or am I completely missing something?
