Yes - this is clearly a bad idea that fails the common sense test. But it will add more assets, higher value, etc. And another reason they may get bought

Friend, you just need to get a better job.

My quick advice would be to: 1) As tempting as it is, DO NOT refactor the code right now. Do the minimal amount of work needed to complete the task. 2) Start etching out some time with your manager/tech-lead to start writing unit tests

It's all fun and games, until you have to access parent elements. You'll likely start wrapping these methods, and before you know it, you have jQuery-micro.

I once scoffed at microservices. Then I was tasked with building a scalable platform around a message broker system. Then the switch clicked. I get it now.

IANAL: but with nothing signed, it's you're code I believe, since it's your original work. I suggest looking into copyright law. (This is why contractors must/usually sign "work for hire" clauses, proclaiming t

Agreed. I'd only promote something I truly liked or "believed" in, and even then it's risky - the establishment, recipe or product can change on a dime, and then you're image and promotion is still tied to it.

That voice over on the video was pretty annoying.

Their hunger is gone. Growing complacency. They're likely more focused on shareholders and stock-price than anything else. (At least the decision makers, not the individual workers doing the work)

This is a good way to start a consulting business as well. Do it all as side work, wait for that bigger client/contract, and then do your own thing.

Not developer rates by any stretch, but you could checkout mTurk https://www.mturk.com/

This is getting down-voted, but there's some truth here. I didn't adopt .NET Core until v2, and happy I waited. Much stronger support from MSFT now, and a much more stable framework.

It's possible that this could be killed off in a few years, but more likely that it will be absorbed into Google Maps and/or Reviews

It's only unstable if you drink the JavaScript cool-aid, and change frameworks frequently. I've been using Knockout 3.* for the past five years, no issue here. Edit: Looks like some Angular and React devs have started downvoting :

Obviously I'm being facetious. But there is a hilarity of, on one hand being privacy centric, and with the other hand, planting a listening device in ones home.

down-tempo. If I'm not doing architecture, emails, or thought provoking tasks, I can get away with lyrical music.

Pays Amazon for a listening device and installs in home...gets upset when it listens.

Thanks for this - kind of neat to have a community "hacking" channel. Seems to be mainly downtempo-ish, which is great.

Biggest thing for me keeping a smart phone is the hi-res camera ability. I'm not carrying a separate camera around Second would be Spotify, and Podcasts.

Google Sheets (I like Excel, but Sheets is better for collaboration). No reason to get caught up on tools right now.

They don't value you, and they're making it clear. Asking for you guys to take no pay is downright disrespectful, especially for experienced founders. Consider other sources for funding.

Absolutely - I spent way too long finding postgres tool, and even then, it was just okay. Also, so many big players use proven MySQL setups (Uber, Github, etc), that I feel like the scalability is there if needed.

For what it's worth, I was in this same situation. Without getting overly technical, MySQL's ease of use, wide supported drivers and toolsets, along with it's ubiquitous nature made me choose MySQL. Also, almost everyone know
