I really enjoy the Eggplant podcast. Early episodes are Spelunky/roguelike focused, but they've branched out a ton since then. https://eggplant.show/

This is super insightful--thanks. You've listed a lot of things about the managerial track that are still achievable on an IC track. You've also listed something things that some may consider "downsides" and acknowledged

For me, the value in attending a "top" university is much more about the networking and "name recognition" on resumes, and the enormous boost that those factors offer you over the course of one's career, than it is

This is great feedback! I definitely think it's a harder sell for someone who already has a system that works for them. Thanks again for taking the time to respond. Happy new year!

Thanks for the feedback! In my view, these are some of the biggest advantages of Itinee over my previous spreadsheet planning: - Visualize everything on a map. This is big for me just to help organize what days it makes the most sense to do

My grand vision is actually a "trip itinerary search engine" so people can search for "Barcelona for 2 people for $1000 or less" and get all the matching itineraries. But yes, as you so rightly pointed out, such analytic

Yes! Budgeter here as well :) My YNAB subscription is well worth it, BUT I use YNAB at least weekly. That was a big struggle I had with coming up with a pricing model that made sense here--realistically, it seems like most/many people

Thanks for the catch! I updated the language to "...purchase a trip slot and editing access for as low as $10" Your comment makes me wonder if it would be clearer to present things as "Trip slot + first month of editing acces

That could work! I'm curious what makes subscription models more attractive from your point of view. Is it just simpler to understand? It seems strictly less flexible than a pay-for-what you need model. I suppose in your example the ad

Yeah, the issue I see with something like that is that realistically, someone could easily take several years to take 3 trips.. seems a bit tricky to convert free customers to paying customers. Thanks for the feedback and well wishes!

Pretty much by waving my finger in the air :) I originally started with something subscription based, but it felt a bit inflexible. For example, if I offered 6mo subscriptions, people probably wouldn't purchase a subscription if they w

Thanks for the feedback! Pricing is not my forte. My thought process was basically this: - In general, people are probably only planning a single trip at a time (an exception might be if travel agents were to be interested) - Based on that

I spent about 6 months building Itinee ( https://itinee.com ) which is a trip planning app focused on being budget conscious. I built it because my wife and I love to travel but my assortment of spreadsheets was a little intimidat

You mention remote, but the job description says the position is based in SF. Is this position only remote temporarily due to COVID, or is this a full-time remote position?

Would you mind sharing that problem? Always looking to improve my own interview questions.

I can't figure out why this isn't accepted as an answer for latch? Admittedly there's probably something simpler, but this seems to adhere to spec.. https://i.imgur.com/mnePQc7.png

I work for a company that builds boats for many of the same goals in a more traditional form factor. The potential of autonomous marine vehicles is very high, and a very exciting field to be working in. https://www.asvglobal.com&

Perhaps I was too general. A more accurate statement would be if more than 3-4 languages are listed without any distinction between languages you're good at and languages you've just used , then I become skeptical. And I said ske

Hey HN. I've found myself wearing the recruiter hat a lot at my current position. I noticed that many devs (especially junior developers) don't really know how to right a good, technical resume and as such don't get a follow

Seeing that your name is green, "Modalert" made me think of some app or something that alerts mods when something needs attention.
