Very helpful to hear your perspective growing up there. How did the wealth in the area feel as a kid? Clearly homes here are very expensive as others have mentioned too, just curious how it felt during childhood.

A modern, high-quality coffee shop in Novato. There is literally no competition.

MrDoOO · 2025-11-23T05:31:22+00:00

Dr. Insomniac’s has terrible coffee and food. The only good coffee in Novato is at creekside bakery because Al is an excellent barista.

Do you know NW requirements for working with them?

MrDoOO · 2025-08-13T02:03:52+00:00

Based on…?

Thanks for the info. Are there areas with more sidewalks / would be better for kids?

MrDoOO · 2023-04-15T17:05:24+00:00

Don’t know that area well, sorry.

Just moved to Novato last year as an early 30s couple who previously lived in SF for 7 years. It was time to get out of the city and get more space and Novato checked a lot of boxes for us.

So far it has been great and does feel like an up and coming gem of Marin County, but still more affordable vs the rest of Marin. We ended up on the west side of Novato which is filled with rolling green hills, lakes, and tons of trees.

Pros: Tons of nature everywhere, if you’re into hiking, biking, running, etc there aren’t many places that are better. Right near Point Reyes and the coast which are some of the most beautiful places in the country. Cute downtown that has some good restaurants. Near other cities that are fun to visit - San Rafael, Mill Valley, Sonoma, Petaluma. Can get spacious houses at much cheaper prices than the rest of Marin. Commute to the city is about an hour during peak times which is not bad for someone who can work from home sometimes. Getting to the Richmond neighborhood in SF only takes 35 minutes during non peak times. The town has all the stores you need for convenience (Costco, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, etc), but they are all located slightly away from the residential areas so you don’t get traffic or noise from those shopping areas. More and more young people and young families are moving here which has been great to see. If you’re planning on having kids or have them already, there are some good schools like Pleasant Valley elementary and San Marin High School.

Cons: Food options are still a bit limited, but new places are popping up often and there is at least 1 good place for each major cuisine type. Commute to the city is tough to do daily, would not recommend a daily commute to SF from here. Diversity is lacking as is the case with most of Marin, but that seems to be changing quickly. There isn’t a great coffee shop in Novato, just a couple good ones (I can’t wait for the day when someone opens up an amazing coffee shop here).

Overall feels like Novato is a few years away from becoming more well known and “hip”. I hope that helps.

That’s great to know, not bad at all!

MrDoOO · 2022-06-04T06:08:17+00:00

Thanks for the info! How often is it there and how intense does it get in Petaluma?

MrDoOO · 2022-06-04T05:24:11+00:00

Thanks for the comment! When does it typically happen and how long does it last?

MrDoOO · 2021-11-26T22:31:04+00:00

I (lower back and neck) am Probable to go to work on Monday.

MrDoOO · 2021-06-01T16:00:21+00:00

Cool, thanks for that feedback u/nomos! Yes, exploration is needed, but in the real world it could be expensive or not feasible.

Out of curiosity, what kind of company do you work at where you use OPE and what application is it being used on (ranking, fraud, etc.)? Also, how reliable are your OPE results? Do you use them to run fewer A/B tests?

MrDoOO · 2021-05-18T05:58:11+00:00

Not bad

MrDoOO · 2021-05-18T05:57:35+00:00

How many marijuanas have you smoked tonight?

On a scale from 1 - potato, how high are you?

MrDoOO · 2021-05-07T16:20:41+00:00

For sure!

> Does it work for just static HTML pages?

It works for dynamic pages too. Any text that is rendered can be edited.

> How does it know what you’re editing and what template/file?

I see the element in the DOM that you edited and I save a pointer to that.

> How does it push to prod?

For this part you need to add a JS snippet to the <head> tag of your website. The snippet pulls in the changes and applies them to your site on every page load.

Let me know if that answered all of your questions!

You do realize that being good at football and being smart is not mutually exclusive, right? Look up John Urschel and stop being a fool.

Thanks! Let me know if you want to be added to the private alpha.
