chagaifon Programmers and software developers lost the plot on naming their tools

Love this:

> Name your library after what it does. Use compound terms. Embrace verbosity if necessary. http-request-validator is infinitely superior to “zephyr” when someone is scanning dependencies at 2 AM debugging a production incident.

chagaifon Ask HN: How can a junior dev maximize their income?

As a junior developer myself, asking a similar question, I will try sharing some of my thoughts and why I think this way.

Key points:

1. Search for jobs with high salaries.

2. Move to Switzerland.

I haven't seen anything consistent yet when it comes to how high your salary is based on what programming language you know. What I did notice, like many people wrote already that you can hop between jobs and that way get a higher salary, I think that's not entirely true, you could probably pull it off without hoping between jobs but just look for jobs with a high salary, always higher depending on how high the salary of the job was where you were successful before in getting an offer. If needed you could probably also lie about how much you earn now just to see if anyone is willing to pay more.

Regarding the second point, I think it's incredible how high the salaries are in Switzerland same as the US but the market is not competitive at all and basically any idiot (me) can get a really good salary by just going through enough interviews. I can't even imagine how high you can go if you're actually like really good.

I personally started (only 3 years ago) with 72k a year (franks/dollars/euros it's basically all the same) then I went up to 78k and towards the end of 2022 I jumped up to 115k in less than a few months only by consistently taking interviews with higher salary expectations. A good way to get started is by sending a contact request to all the recruiters on my LinkedIn page and they will take it from there and bombard you with offers...I even tried optimizing the process by sending the recruiters this: https://chagai.website/notes/recruiters

chagaifon Wobbly clock

That is so amazing! I also attempted creating such a concept but never got anyone of my friends to use it... I ended up heavily using (and abusing) the Google maps share your location feature and I was so excited to see they are adding features related to notifications when people get close - only noticed it a few months ago. Telegram had also released similar features but only when you share your location live witch you can only do for a limited amount of time. Nevertheless interesting to see these kind of features are slowly getting implemented even if easy too late and not close to how I would like and imagine they could be... I also have my live location broadcasted here: https://chagai.website/location.html when it's not broken

Funny you ask this, I remember actually having a discussion about doing this, but for another reason - to avoid users losing their messages because they lost their keys. We ended up not doing it of course, it makes no sense to have e2ee if you're going to bypass it anyway... If you need to be able to access the data I think you should probably force your users to not use e2ee rooms...
