Software engineer with 6 years of professional experience, currently working on real-time telemetry systems, Python and Rust tooling. Background includes aerospace systems, hardware/software integration, and scientific/engineering applications. B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, CompTIA Security+

Looking for remote software engineering roles, especially in systems software, scientific computing, telemetry, aerospace/defense, robotics, or backend engineering.

Wish the videos were working. It would be really cool to adjust the style as well

Yes please improve surf forecasting!

This is great, I'm currently studying for Security+ and will be using this. Where are the practice questions from?

Thank you!

Trombone! I joined a couple of community bands and they are always something to look forward to

Seems cool! Was getting into WebRTC last year and this would have helped a lot. Is the pricing for this available yet?

I usually look for duplicate issues that aren’t being addressed, or if there’s just a lot of seemingly non-trivial ones that go unanswered

Big fan of your articles! I have a few bookmarked that I like to read every now and then

Looks cool, did you compose the backing tracks yourself?

That’s what made it easier for me. I would be that drive-by user in discord or searching for “Good First Issue” without even being remotely interested in the project. Now I try to focus on using it first. It was mostly an ego thing I had to move past

Ansible caught my interest! I setup a dev server and have been wondering about using Ansible to install my development dependencies on a new OS

That forum was a godsend and really supportive when I converted my prerunner to 4wd!

Car forums don’t help either when most answers are “use the search function”. Which I understand, but some things have changed and/or people have learned better since the early 2000’s when those questions were originally asked :)

I joined a community college concert band playing trombone. I’ve since started playing in other groups as a result of that

College senior project - 3dof robotic arm on a vertical gantry system attached to a hydroponic garden. We used 2 arduino’s to control the lighting and gantry. Then one pi onboard the robot for imaging and another for a web user interface.

In my area there are local business organizations (chamber of commerces, etc.) that help students connect with employers. Smaller shops appreciate a motivated young person hand-delivering a resume. I got my first job that way!

I’d be hard pressed to open a cold emailed PDF. Out of curiosity does anyone have a good way to inspect them prior to downloading?

Your first point is interesting. I’ve been meaning to explore some of these options lately (llama.cpp). I’m a bit too smooth brained to build a good business offering around that.

I've worked for the past 3 years as a self-employed software developer, building data-focused full-stack web applications for businesses and non-profits. Recently I have been building an Airtable portal for data entry and analytics with the largest coffee farm in the United States (using Typescript and NextJS). Previously I developed C++ software for General Dynamics Mission Systems.

Definitely going to try this for StackExchange

Great story and congrats! Thank you for posting, I hope I can get your help in the near future for a few projects!

I recently picked up react native, though I had a good amount of experience with React already and much of it is similar. Except for working with the file system and tooling.

One good boilerplate I’d recommend having a look at is https://github.com/infinitered/ignite not a course but possibly a good resource to learn from.

Thank you! That is helpful to know.

Can an S corp be single member? What are the drawbacks to using an S corp as opposed to an LLC?

Those little trucks with long beds are awesome. On a related note, people here in Hawaii have been importing Japanese kei trucks like crazy!

Got some coming in at 26!

I enjoy it because it introduced me to Postgres, which coming from firebase and NoSQL was refreshing

Anecdotally, using GPT-4 with Typescript has made its code output much cleaner.

Happen to have a write up on this? It sounds really cool. I’m in the process of retiring old machines for a client and I was thinking of doing that.

I’ve been using it to learn SQL - it’s been helpful asking it to explain queries or joins that I want to perform.
