I've seen your projects before, and I am like you where I don't like projects that depend on me creating content but I rather like technical challenges. Great write up!

I used to think college was a complete waste in my 20's but rounding 30 I found the experience shaped who I am and contributed to my success – namely the social element and professors who cared. That said, financially it was too expens

Tech is an exception to the rule, I've told friends it's tech or die tongue in cheek. Most of my friends aren't in tech, and all of them are convinced they will never own a home or get ahead in life, and so find it unwise to

From what I gather this is the Tesla of banks (comparing new kid on the block to the old guard – Tesla vs GM): meaning it's a modern bank with systems that run on something newer than COBOL with an open API. It's extremely cool an

At the last company I worked for, the interview was amazing because it was tailored towards exercises that actually had to do with my job, but were obviously not going to be used in their product. Hope this becomes the standard, that + a ge

I aspire to be in the same boat you are – kudos to you! Are the majority of your products physical or digital ecommerce? Or a subscription based automated service? Edit: Looks like you have a great analytics framework, found your blog from

VS Code is nice! I need to give emacs another whirl, I learned Vim because I like working on a more lightweight cloud dev server while I travel.

Same here, my partner and I decided we're just going to bite the bullet. At least we can afford it and we'll lock that affordable mortgage into place and hope for the best.

Does the endpoint on Yahoo Finance just download the CSV file? Could use a node HTTP fetch go nab the latest CSV, check if it's new, if it is throw it in the data set then run the algo. I'm not familiar with Yahoo Finance so I&#x2

While a libertarian's nightmare, might make filing taxes a dream! All about perspective.

I agree with you initially, but I tried to read it from the lens of someone who is reflecting on his past experiences and applying them to a certain archetype of people he meets throughout life working in tech. With computer science being o

Stuck for me! Dropped the W2 for an LLC and don't see myself looking back. Not advice, just what happened. Definitely not for everyone.

I'm writing documentation now and it's not bad, just takes a long time and keeps me from coding more features. I try to add screenshots and relevant links to helpful blogs Luckily, my role on the team is more of a consultant and t

I found it to be a really cool experience setting up Nodemon with TS myself with a few Medium guides – because of that I know my app's build system inside and out!

I have a naive question: In this regulated market, where is the line drawn in relation to which companies one entity can acquire? It seems that IG wanted to sell to FaceBook and the government blessed it, same with Google's acquisition

A fair assessment for an MVP in the US, but you fail to scale globally if your site is bloated as not all countries and territories have the access to data at low cost the US has. Definitely worth it to optimize and reduce bloat after estab

This also reminds me of the Matrix except no one would be able to wake up from the dream. Could be fine if the Matrix was a comfy place to live I suppose. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Think San Junipero vs the before mentioned I Have No Mouth and I Must
