I’m working on SprigEdit. A wysiwyg markdown editor that focuses on a beautiful and pleasant writing experience. Https://sprigedit.com

Perhaps the coolest feature is it is fully native, and yet still runs on web, windows, macOS, iOS, and android due to a shared core and platform native ui layer.

This is an awesome concept. Thanks for sharing.

Have you had any issues with turbidity so far?

And due to cloning efforts, performing implantation of lab grown embryos is established protocol. Wolves are also well studied and understood, so even tho dire wolves aren’t super closely related, the dog baseline is a great control.

This would be a lot harder to do with an extinct species we don’t know well.

I’ve recently become a Zotero user. I’m liking the mobile support in the iOS ecosystem. Jabref highlights search and discovery in the docs. Does anyone have opinions on how that compares to the other apps?

Many years ago, I was basically an it guy in a rust belt city with a slightly inflated title and no cs degree. I started blogging about interactive web development as I was teaching myself. A year later I decided to look for a new job.

To my surprise, that website got me past pretty much every first round, and within 2 weeks of starting to send applications I had 5 job offers at 2-3 times my current salary.

I relocated to Chicago and the entire trajectory of my career changed. I will always recommend blogging or some form of content creation. Especially for someone thinking of a career pivot.

It keeps you focused on deliverable products from your learning and experience.

Helps keep you consistent if you have a posting schedule.

Creates tangible evidence of your skills and experience.

And perhaps most importantly. It really improves your communication skills around the problem space which is a huge benefit.

Thanks for explaining. As with most science news coverage, it was hard to understand this context.
