It's more complicated than that. I'm not the only founder and funds were raised from small investors w/ a SAFE.

Yeah, same. Left an awesome job to do my own thing after getting seed funding. For the first few months of doing that, I told myself that I could never go back to the 9-5 grind. I am now very excited to go back to the 9-5 grind.

I think side projects, software at least, are a lot like the Civilization games. You can't wait to start. The first 10% is awesome. 10-40% is complex and the difficulty ramps up. 40-100%, all you can think about is starting over on som

Vue doesn't have quite the same dev experience w/ TypeScript as React. If I were just using ES6, I think it would be a toss-up or Vue would win. With TypeScript, React + TSX wins by a lot. That said, things may have improved with

A reality that doesn't seem to get discussed much is that non-FAANG companies in Bay Area don't actually pay that much . If your option is Austin post-IPO or Google, then okay. If your option is Austin post-IPO or Series A Startu

I don't know where you moved, but this is pretty condescending. The idea that there are just a bunch of small-pond professionals in places like Austin/Atlanta/Raleigh is just...not accurate. A ton of the folks I've worke

I think you and the other replies here either 1) assumed too much about what I was saying or 2) made some mental shortcuts because you've had this conversation before. I'm not making an argument against taxation here. Ostensibly,

If you want to do the most with your apparently surplus income, look into effective altruism. Your dollar will go a lot further with <take your pick of 1,000 charitable organizations> than it will after going through 10 layers of bure

Rarely discussed but yeah, that's how employee provided health insurance became a thing. It makes no more sense than company-provided housing or groceries or life insurance. You're already at risk of being let go by the employer a

Mostly marketing/copywriting types and designers. Some programmers, although that seems to be rarer - could have something to do with what personalities are drawn to these professions.

Great article that really highlights the negative aspects of Digital Nomadism. I work with some folks that do this, and when we talk about it, they can't understand why I would want to just stay in my medium-sized city and travel a few

by d357r0y3r 8y ago
Yeah, agreed. If I were looking for a regular job, I would probably filter employers based on whether they use TypeScript or not at this point (assuming it was some JavaScript-adjacent project). I'm not sure if there's really a go

Running a node on a phone sounds like a horrible idea. Why would this be desirable? This is a solved problem and I never understand why people keep going back to it. Host a node or use a public node. Use a local wallet to do signing and dep

It's literally "in practice" if companies are doing this because of GDPR. The fact that they are misinterpreting the guidelines doesn't change the fact that they are making decisions on what they believe are the guidelin

Solidity as a language is not that bad. It wouldn't be my first choice but it wouldn't be my last. Most of the challenges are not at the language level, they're at the EVM level. Any languages on top of the EVM are hamstrung

Pure psis are, but no one plays pure psis - usually you combo it with shifter, warrior, or some other fighting class. Drain mana alone makes psi worth taking in a multi-class.

Hey, I still play MUDs too! It's an underappreciated kind of game, but I understand why it's not accessible to most. I play over at Dead of Night (deadofnight.org) - pop in, the multiclassing system is ridiculous and awesome. I th

Iceland isn't very big and it's completely isolated. Did they plan to get those 600 computers off the island, or did they expect to keep them there and not get caught?

React + TypeScript is simply too good to not use for me. The idea of going back to unsafe templates is just not acceptable.

Yeah, that has certainly been my experience so far. In Civ 5 I'd generally take the culture/diplomacy route; I was able to beat one city challenge on immortal with a little bit of luck. In Civ 5, it just doesn't seem possible

One of the most incompetent developers I've ever known got hired at Facebook, then Apple. Every line of code the guy right was just...exceptionally bad and poorly thought out. I guess he was good at whiteboard exercises, though?

If nine to five is barbaric, what does that make jobs requiring you to wake up early and stay late? This guy seems to have a chip on his shoulder because of some bad workplace experiences and now seems to think every job sucks. Jobs with re

These are good ideals and they're hard to get right in practice. There's always a certain amount of ambiguity that arises when pen meets paper and it's ambiguity that puts any given task at risk of being done incorrectly or n
