Austin is one of four significant America cities I haven’t visited (San Antonio, San Diego, and Saint Louis are the others) so I appreciate this insight.
I’ve read between the lines about Austin, based largely on who is doing the fawning, and sort of written it off as another version of Nashville. But it’s hard for me to take the initiative to plan a special trip there to check it out.
Hi Sai, sorry for any confusion but I haven’t built anything yet. The only API you can try out right now is the existing one, which requires the full object, and does not have the changes you asked for such as splitting employment into its own object, and adding field of specialty.
Once we nail down the process for batch auto-commit and I know what my API’s interaction with that is going to look like, then I can finalize the API spec with your team, and finally I will build the new API. I expect there will be more changes to the spec to accommodate the auto-commit process, and further edge cases like how CRM handles international addresses.
thx
These MFers won’t stop bugging the shit out of me even though we’ve had meetings where everyone agrees we can’t do shit until the back-end process for committing data is nailed down.
I know it’s because they’re contractors with nothing to do and need to bill hours. My work does that all the time.
“Why are we doing this now? No one is ready yet and the business customer doesn’t even want it yet.”
I think maybe the closest I’ve been to seeing someone die is when I witnessed an accident involving a guy on a motorcycle. The motorcycle hit a car turning left which sent the motorcyclist flying straight over his handlebars and over the hood of the car. He did a flip in the air and landed on his ass.
Yeah, that’s kind of my point about it being forced and affected. If you need to have a slogan about keeping your city weird, it’s already too late.
Sometimes I want to blame Linklater for being the person who made Austin self-conscious about its quirkiness, but honestly I think it was just the general trend of the times that made so many cities kind of crappy and sterile by the end of the century.
Heh, I’ve totally been to Keeneland. Because of a science conference, of all things. UK hosted a meeting during the big April weekend, and it was an official outing. Not a half bad time.
I’ve seen one person die in a poker room, and it was not pretty. An obese guy got up and started hopping around holding his throat before falling over. I believe he choked on his own blood. Ugh.
I wish there was a US version of this. Watching people plow their daily drivers into the wall makes me laugh and feel bad for the victim at the same time. I guess the driver has to pay for the damage to the track and wall, including labor. No way am I driving my Tahoe on something formerly known as The Green Hell. Watching the motorcycles is upsetting.
