Hey - is this essentially provisioning a bunch of background workers to constantly scan a database table? eg. one worker for each alert (to look for a price). How would someone incorporate this in Rails?

heck, 90& of Sydneysiders live in Western Sydney. Its a trek to even get to the CBD.

Man, they totally have Sydney wrong. I moved out of Sydney to Melbourne because it was so expensive, it's a never-ending rat race and most of the companies are pretty corporate (meaning a lot of unpaid overtime).

My 2c. I was learning Elixir / Phoenix for a startup but found it was missing way too many libraries & lacked the breadth & depth of the Stack Overflow knowledge base as compared to the Ruby on Rails ecosystem.

It was a cool experiment. Most devs would have learnt other Object Oriented Programming languages but learning Elixir would mean switching to a different paradigm.

I'm a React / Javascript dev with 5+ years experience. I also developed a RoR job board at https://remotefriendly.me & attempted to build a startup this year in the Antler Sydney accelerator. I'm looking interesting projects to work on. I have developed NodeJS API for Slack chatbots for a startup & love learning new technologies such as Svelte. I'm currently freelancing remotely for a VC, who's app tech stack is React, Firebase + Cloud Functions, Stripe, and Webflow. I'm looking to start at end of 2020, so feel free to connect to me.

I was suprised for this to pop up - Becket was such a great film.

Glad to see another aussie founder here!

Many reasons. - Ruby is designed for Programmer Happiness. - Convention over Configuration - Omakase: https://dhh.dk/2012/rails-is-omakase.html - Its an Majestic Monolith: https://m.signalvnoise.com/the-majestic-monolith/ - Tons of libraries

It's because of "Not Invented Here" policies. I have seen some banks use 2FA for internal logins - Westpac uses RSA SecurID tokens.

Congrats dude!

4+ years experience as a Javascript dev. I love working on React and GraphQL.

I have read the City of God and it's massive. Are you talking about a particular section?

The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything by the Revered James Martin, SJ. Pretty awesome book on Catholic/Jesuit spirituality, though the actual writer is pretty liberal in real-life.

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius if you are into Stoicism.

I wouldn't directly dive into the Bible cause its rather thick, and confusing especially the Old Testament, except maybe the Gospels for a start -

Hmm... so I assume no customers yet? Or at least you got a mailing list setup?

In the past, I have built a mobile app in React Native/Expo and have built PWAs (with web workers) in ReactJS. I'm interested in AI/Machine Learning/IOT. 3+ years experience with ReactJS.

But those lines seem to be re-drew every few decades. It's hard to tell what currently is considered sexual deviancy be permitted in the future.

Really? I went to uni in Australia but I get passed on by HR because they are looking for someone with ‘US experience’.

When recruiters barely take a look at you because you didn't go to Stanford or some elite uni.

Job interviews with too many interview rounds.

Good. I think the university system is outdated and there should be other institutions to train people for the workforce.

No 1 thing the iPad needs to do is coding. Its got such a long battery life, I would have loved to use it to make code edits on the go. That's pretty much my main grip with it at the moment.

I currently work as a Javascript Developer. I have ~ 3 years experience mostly with React and Javascript. One recent project I have worked on is a search app in using JS APIs + React.

Following. I wonder if there's any difference in the type of fields people enter in compared with CompSci majors vs self-taught coders.

Just out of curiosity, why not move to the US now? I know a ton of friends that went over once they did their Bachelors.

As a developer in Australia, this is true... there are literally no jobs for people doing a science degree. Even doing a CS degree can be pretty shaky - most businesses/companies here are just looking to get a basic app out, and something like Machine Learning / AI is just not required as of yet. That's why I'm looking to move to the US for better opportunities...

It would be great if YC expanded to the Asia-Pacific region... somewhere easy for Aussies to reach/apply/interview like Singapore.

Thanos?

Hey, it depends on what you are building. I have found with React Native + Expo is that you can mostly avoid native code until you need something that isn't supported by React Native (eg. payment integration) - in that case you will need to eject the app. You would have to manage routing on the app, etc.

If your background is in web dev, building a PWA should be much easier.

It depends... I think the Paypal Mafia had politically opposite views and it worked out because they didn't let it affect work. I think the most infamous example would be Peter Thiel and Keith Rabois: "Rabois came to Thiel's attention after he was found outside an instructor's home, shouting homophobic slurs and the suggestion that the instructor "die of AIDS.".

Nope - but E3 should be easy to get.
