I have experience (directly and via friends) at international companies with offices in Japan. When they announce layoffs, they immediately lay off their US employees. A month or so later, they lay off their European employees after going t

I use Notion with the tasks board in a Kanban view. It's essentially Trello but each task is also a page where I can document everything I'm learning or doing, even with subpages underneath. I have a board for development work and

That's pretty cool. Fits their use case for sure. I would probably opt to spend a little more for a gigabit port. From what I've seen watching Jeff Geerling, you can setup a pretty reasonable performing NAS on something on these s

One thing I've seen delay migrations is that people keep adding features to v1 during the migration because customers need improvements now. Then you have to add those changes to v2, which delays the migration, then more stuff gets add

I've had the Herman Miller Aeron and the Steel Case Leap. Both are considered top tier options. I'm currently using an Autonomous chair and I'm very happy with it.

Maybe look into Electron? As I understand, you basically have a web client and Node server packaged up as an executable.

Yes, it's way too complicated. You either need to run your app as a SaaS or give people an executable they can just run.

Fractional work is my goal. I've been able to get some 10/15/20 hour week fractional gigs at higher than my hourly rate as a corporate employee. Finding that work is difficult though.

I've been contracting myself as a one man team (dev + PM) and also starting my own business. While being a PM, I realized I really miss the technical stuff but I also care about the business stuff too much to be a dev in a company. I&#

I assume YouTube's core metric is watch time and so building features that reduce watch time is a no go. Not really related, but I thought of this. I used to work on a popular search engine. Our main metric started out as number of sea

I turned off every ad setting they had and it would often end an answer with "by the way, did you know..." and then some Amazon promotion. I asked if it's raining, you don't need to tell me about an increase in Amazon Ph

Most of these are apps for timekeeping of employees that might lie. So having geo location and even facial recognition is pretty common. If you're not going to enforce anything that proves they're actually present, how about just

Having been a product manager, I would say a big part of the job is "having the responsibility for a goal with zero power to achieve it" and then having to go influence people to get resources, time, etc to work on something. Lots

I'm using a MacBook. I've never needed a repair but if I did I would just pay Apple to repair it. As far as I can tell, MacBooks are some of the most durable laptops out there. I don't personally have any concern about them n

I don't care about open source. I just want to be able to run a set of applications that I use to get things done and be productive. All Macs are basically the same so if there is a popular app X that people are using, I know I can sim

I used both Mac and Linux for a while. Other than cost of a Mac computer, I don't see much downside to using a Mac. You get *nix with a more standard setup and you'll spend less time tinkering. I think the only reason I'd go

A link to a Google Form is fine IMO. Don't embed it. I use Canny.io for some sites. You have to jump through a few hoops to enable their free plan, but it's decent. Honestly, the Google Form is simpler to setup and a better user e

It's not that complicated. You should not be implementing OAuth from scratch. I don't roll my own auth. I use things like Firebase Auth for free sites or Auth0 for paid sites. Adding extra auth mechanisms is trivial using those to

Do those pay competitively compared to a good salaried position at a big US company? On a per hourly basis of course. Most of what I see in hourly positions is far below what I'm used to.
