My first thought is to contact to Papua Lord, or the maker of the documentary, and ask them directly. My second guess is to make money as fast as you can, so you can dedicate your time me to something that needs your skills. I am focusing

Could Google/Firebase commit to open sourcing the code, and making sure everyone (who wants to) can seamlessly transition off Firebase, if the product is to be euthanized? If there was a transition contingency for anyone who depends o

This about all of the tech recruiters that contact you for employment. Now imagine yourself being one of them. That's what entry level sales is like. You are dialing for dollars all day, every day. You might get a better sales gig

There rollouts are also slower for a couple reasons: - every In-N-Out must be within 500 miles of a beef distribution center [1] - In-N-Out tries to buy it's land [2] My impression is that they grow the business from cash flow, not deb

My company gave me a relocation bonus and used a third party service to handle it. I got all of the money upfront, and had to sign a document saying I'd pay back a prorated amount if I left the company within a year. I was asked to s

Cool idea! I hope the experiment produces positive results. A few random thoughts: - offering a perk to some employees that you don't offer to other employees could get you in trouble - say all delocated employees are from SF are you

The point I was trying to make is that making an MVP water consulting CRM for a single customer isn't very equitable for me. The amount of money I'd earn for the time invested feels like it'd be less than what I'd likel

When I was a fresh programmer at age 39 in San Francisco, I found it very difficult to get a job, too. The trick that worked for me was posting my resume on Dice.com and saying "willing to relocate". A recruiter in Washington, D

I (developer) chatted with a water quality consultant during a plane flight. Consultant mentioned the CRM for his niche business sucked. He asked if I'd be interested in building a CRM for no money upfront, instead making money later

Punting on arguing for or against Google being a monopoly or utility, I will say there are a large number of people who trust Google. There are many, many ways that trust can be violated. As my coworker might say, they have a rather large

I was a technical recruiter for startups in SF from 2005 to 2013. I filled hundreds of startup jobs. I wouldn't worry about it. Good engineers are always in demand, so if you're good, you'll be fine. Even if Uber is evil,

In every job I had before moving into coding, I hated something about some piece of software I was using, and for various reasons, I found it impossible to address that thing I hated. So I learned to code. Now when I bump into software I

Having someone to talk to on a regular basis is kind of the idea behind teaching assistants, at least for many types of work. There is definitely room to innovate between paying the cost of a full blown degree and 100% self study. Effecti

I haven't used Kotlin, so... Why are nullable types a pain in the ass? If I recall correctly, isn't a nullable something you have to opt into? Basically you can't get null on accident, but you can opt into it when null make

I've got an Elixir app running as a daemon to manage cleaning up some certain build related files for a build system. The daemon is a release started by the init system. N clients might call the daemon, and the daemon makes sure the

Yup. I was an 80s kid. I also had tons on fun on playground deathtraps that somehow never contributed to any serious injuries for me. Coming soon to a playground near you, replacing all climbable trees with small bushes.

At least one airport does this with planes, John Wayne Airport in Orange County, CA. In the 1980s, they implemented stricter controls over how much noise planes flying in & out can make. [1] On related note, FedEx flew (flies?) Boeing

What's a good use for distributed Erlang? I'm writing some Elixir apps, and I can't think of a great reason to use distributed between a client and a daemon running on the same box.

In a smaller service business, like a design agency, it isn't uncommon for each manager to be more skilled than their direct reports. Example... I am a DesignWizard. I have a lot of business leads, more than I can manage myself. I hi

There's inherently wrong with wanting to sell quickly. If grandma died, leaving me her house 3,000 miles away from where I live, the last thing I'd want to be saddled with is trying to sell it. I know nothing about selling (or o

I think awesome depends on the sensibilities of the person being stalked, and the sweetness of the opportunity. I concur that the creep factor likely trumps the awesome factor. Still, if a recruiter popped out of my closet with a million
