It took me 8 months for my first job as software developer when I was 37yo, self-taught. I wrote about the decision, the learning process, the job hunt, if anyone is interested. https://rodrigohgpontes.github.io/

It was cool to see your name when reading the post. I follow Manual do Usuário on Twitter and I liked it a lot. The podcast is great as well. Congrats on your work! I am also very happy with my iPhone SE 2nd gen. I only migrated from Androi

I don’t understand your last comment. I rule out precisely because they never were the best offer in the table for me. There are companies that do not pay location-adjusted salaries that pay better. I was able to get a job in those the last

It is odd that the whole dialog among very close teenage friends doesn't mention that it is the character's birthday at all. It is kind of clear in the episode that the writers just didn't realize it.

I am not competing on price. I compete o quality. In your analogy, I am someone who the company needs to “take a chance”, the company is risking hiring a worse employee because I don’t live in SF or the US. That’s not how I see it. The pand

That’s fine too. I just not trying to convince you of anything. You said you like Gitlab because they strongly promote remote work. I said I don’t like because they promote local salaries. That’s it, I wasn’t asking for your permission to t

What? I should not negotiate a better salary with a company on the belief that, in the long term, it will be better for… who? Overpay? How can I be overpaid if the company agrees to pay? Should I be more humble? Should I give up some part o

Gitlab advocates for paying local salaries. That’s actually against my “philosophy“ as you put it, as it is against my direct interest, being a non-US based software developer. Their way to promote remote work is, ironically, hurtful to my

Is this advice only to be hired by FAANG-like companies? It seems so.

It made sense to me. I was and their reply was talking about engineering jobs. I said that all these layoffs are not firing many, if any, software engineers. They replied that, while that’s true, tech companies are not firing software engin

Can someone please explain to me (someone complete out of the world of chess) why he doesn’t like to compete in the World Championship but likes to compete in other tournaments?

I would imagine so. There is a lot of good things in SP, probably never heard of a lot of them.

So a recent thing indeed. Living in São Paulo I never heard of jambu (I also do not drink alcohol, and apparently it is more interesting to consume with alcohol, so it might explain).

Another vote for Iosevka. I learned about it here on HN. It is great because it is narrow but very clear and easy to read (and free). I like narrow because I like to use side-by-side panels in VSCode, so it fits more characters per line for

No, that’s not the problem. Not the problem that’s relevant to this discussion anyway. The problem is that people are either relentlessly telling him that they didn’t like the art or hatefully attacking him for choosing that art style. Hat

How do you jump from ”pure anecdotal evidence” to ”reduction of the GDP” ? This just seems too close to racist theories about why the north hemisphere is richer than the south. A lot of people confirming with anecdotes in the comments. C

So, considering adaptation would take years and depending on widespread adoption, this seems a very useful tool to employ for some time. Very far from “stupid things humans do”.
