    This depends largely on what exactly you’re reusing. Unless the code is doing something that is functionally unique, is patented, or explicitly stated that it can’t be reused (licensed) then it’s fine to copy code. If you’re worried about copying code, reach out to the developer who wrote it...

    UPDATE It's been an insane year to say the least. Shortly after my post last April, my girlfriend and I moved in to a larger apartment. After being in that apartment for NINE days, the apartment complex pulled the rug out from under the entire building and all residents. We were all FORCED to...

    UPDATE The house has sold and I close on Monday. Moving in to the gfs apartment. Rent for her apartment is 950. My mortgage/rent is being cut from 1375 / month to 475. Sold a lot of my big ticket items (Big Green Egg, home gym, etc.) and donated a lot of the cheap stuff to Salvation Army. This...

    The best job for an aspiring entrepreneur? [Serious]

    I have pretty much the same circumstances. Work from home, all digital company. Everyone works from home, we don't even really have an office anywhere. The best advice I have is to try to break up your day. Work 9-12, then go for a walk and listen to some podcasts or go work out at a gym with...

    Oh awesome thanks man. I will definitely keep that in mind. My buddy is going to Vandy to get his MBA. He's an industrial engineer so it really makes sense for him. He's actually scoping apartments and condos right now. Any recs?

    I love how most people just look at that one number. Rent vs Mortgage, like it is the only number that is changing. I also stated earlier that we are not set on that new place. There's a likely chance that I move in to her apartment. Which has a total rent of 900. So please continue about my...

    Oh cool! Yeah everything is coming up. Especially in the last 3-5 years. The new mayor has put a ton of effort into revitalizing the city. Alabaster and Pelham are still super affordable but are kind of suburban-rednecky and Hoover is too expensive for the nice areas. I also grew up in Hoover so...

    Yep you are correct. The 1950 is the total rent, split, would be 975 per person. In short -- yes -- I would still be selling even if I were not moving in with her. I would definitely not be moving in to the 1950 / month apartment though. I would be moving somewhere with the same type of...

    For being from New Zealand you sure do have a good understanding of bham lol. I am actually looking forward to moving down town. The area I am moving to is out the vicinity of where most violent crimes happen. I also typically arm myself whenever I know there's a possibility of trouble. So...

    Nice! I live in Irondale right now. Grew up in Hoover. I have a friend moving to Nashvegas in August. That town is awesome. It's on my list of possible destinations. "Use the money to market your business or yourself. In 3-5 years you will be able to buy a better house for cheaper." That has...

    Wow this is awesome. Thank you so much! My area is lower market. Definitely not considered the nice part of town, but also not the worst. Selling seems to be the best option right now. Looking at the average rent rates on the map provided -- the average rate is below my mortgage. Granted, my...
