harry_ord··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2024)
LinkdIn and your site doesn't mention you're recruiting. Some of the top results for careers search does not work either.

harry_ord··on Ask HN: How are you dealing with the job market anxiety?
Concerned, in a job right now but finding something new feels tough. I've been a bit professionally isolated so don't meet up with many other programmers or really talk to any in a professional capacity at the moment.

Also trying my hand at a masters which consumes more time.

Edit: I am occasionally applying for new things. My work skills are a bit out of date (still a perl dev) which has been a problem while looking for something new before which isn't great.

Kinda but the mother always provides the mitochondria.

Most beings kinda do during pregnancy and childhood
harry_ord··on Ask HN: How do you keep going without burning out?
I do my best to avoid going into something too much.

The main things I've found that burn me out is boring work, working too long and no end to the work. Usually it's enough to just leave or stop after my normal hours and do something else.

Being able to choose to do other things (even if it's stare at a wall) helped me a lot

harry_ord··on Ask HN: What are you reading these days?
The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England. Not sure what I'll read after. I was at a bit off a loss after reading race after technology.

harry_ord··on Spain lives in flats: why we have built our cities vertically
I lived in a relatively old apartment block in Austria. Only time I heard my neighbours was when they did drilling. The sound outside echo'd a lot so I could hear things in the courtyard (3 floors down) and people in nearby blocks louder than my neighbours.

harry_ord··on Git rebase, what can go wrong
First time I tried that because fixing conflicts in merge was too hard. I rebased the wrong way round.

Shared branches is a bit of a faff just due to coordinating.

harry_ord··on uBlock Origin 1.53
Shooting from the hip, here but part of it is. Other parts are closed source from Google or some other group that doesn't share.
harry_ord··on Xbox will block third-party controllers to "preserve the console experience"
It really should be both. Code for more information/short hand and text so you know a little bit about why, right now since the issue may be quick to resolve.
harry_ord··on The costs of microservices (2020)
My current job hasn't been a great experience with microservices. It's a industry where I've worked with a monolith that did a lot more but having everything split between like 17 different services makes managing anything not so fun. The other big blocker is small team and only one of us met the original staff who designed this.
harry_ord··on Ask HN: Why haven't you started your startup?
My idea isn't profitable and I haven't made time to make it(even though it would be useful to me)
harry_ord··on Why Is the Django Admin "Ugly"?
After reading all of the post I'm a little confused as to what's wrong with it. It looks fine for a UI bundled with a webframework. I can understand some of the comments in the thread mentioning accessibility issues due to colour/contrast(only example I saw in the comments here)

I think those tweets may still be up on a few of their twitter accounts
