There are simply no more jobs available for the massive population we have right now. Part time economy increases employment.

Paying 5 bucks to pirate seems to be missing the point of pirating for me IMO.

I am more than happy to "take my coffee and fuck off". But I'll do it with a 50 cent instant coffee from a supermarket, not pay 10$ for it just to not be able to relax in a coffee shop.

My main issue is that they're now slowly testing the waters to see if they can make you watch ads while still paying for the subscription, and at that point, might as well take advantage of Romania's lack of law enforcement and hit the torrent websites.

I found myself on Arch Wiki for so many non-Arch issues that I decided that I'll just install Arch and use it.

Seems you were not chasing the launch enough. I've been guilty of that before, missing the development of a demo that was meant to be presented to big clients. You may wanna explore why you lacked commitment and drive for the development.

Shout out to Stanford that made it possible to start a CS education for free, for a Romanian kid who could not afford it (me). The free video course they have had up there since about 20 years was one of the foundations of my programming career now.

This is really cool, I love how you planned the entire development before with graphs.

When I was 16, I developed an mp3 player in C (I cheated and used mpg123 library). Audio players are a great way to learn about low level stuff and as a first project.

Keep developing things!

Maybe the capacity is ever expanding, like the universe, so it always has room to spare.

First of all, your situation is completely normal for the time period we live in. A few people I thought would never become homeless (web3 engineers who used to make 300K a month etc) are on the verge of it now. Pretty insane combination of a mental health and economic crisis we have going on.

>I’m willing to work. I know I can earn 3-4x more doing freelance tech, but I can’t do that from a car.

Why not? There are homeless people doing Amazon Turk from cafes in Hong Kong.

Second, you need to focus on fast money making sources. That's Lyft, shoveling snow, micro-tasks (I help people with Solana developer questions in the Raydium Discord for example, earning 100-200$ per small script), food stamps, church handouts, it does not matter. Cash quick. You need some quick money to ease up the stress so you can focus on the next big leap. You'll get to the big tech job, but until then, you need to focus on your current reality.

It's been some time that I worked with React Native, but I think you can use react-native-web to create web previews of the mobile app.

Bad e-mail management is not a responsibility on my part, and a disorganized client moving to another company is not really a threat either.

This is probably how people who never pay their debts think.

"It's ok if I am late with the bill, they will feel bad for me and never risk me reputation damage by airing out my debts".

But in the absence of a sense of responsibility or obligation, shame might be the only thing that might work to make them fulfill their obligations.

As someone with Type 2 diabetes, I am eternally grateful for everyone who works on future eye surgery advancements. Especially for people who work in tech, it's nearly a death sentence.

This is giving me GObject and Gdk flashbacks. If anyone wants to traumatize themselves, compile GTK2 and work with the aforementioned.

That being said, it's still a very clever way to implement this.

As someone who agrees with cutting back some of the funding to Ukraine, this could've done in a much more professional and diplomatic manner. Arguing in front of televisions and interrupting Zelensky is just a bad look.

Anyone who has ever worked with VCs or shareholders before knows that, if you tell them the reality and limitations of something, they will either fire you or ignore what you say. They have been desperate to remove the leverage programmers have due to their skill and replace us with AI that they don't have to pay salaries to. All we can do at this point is just take VC money promising them exactly what they want to hear, that they will be able to replace us with a NLP model. Sometimes you just can't save people but you can profit from their voluntary fall from the cliff?

In London, you are the sheep to be slaughtered with a knife.

Nothing wrong with NSFW content per se, but you cannot justify potentially exposing children to pornographic content as a "coping mechanism", it wouldn't be accepted by any court for sure.

I've been disappointed to not encounter the hot trans girl content the comments are complaining about.

How do you handle iOS testing? Do you have VPN blocking? What are some guerilla marketing tactics did you use? I am trying to grow a community in an unrelated topic and want to see what I could potentially do.

Cool project by the way!

Two theories:

1) This is an ego problem. Whoever is doing the development cannot handle being called out on certain software architecture / coding mistakes, so it becomes "nitpicking".

2) The software shop has a "ship out faster, cut corners" culture, which at that point might as well turn off the AI review bot.

Romanian here. Discussions of cancelling the election happened way before the cyberattack. AFAIK for the first time in a very long time the largest two parties did not win and they started panicking and scrambling to re-do the vote count.

Well said. There's a Turkish proverb "You are a lord, I am a lord, then who's going to plow this land?"

they are picking a different type of grape by night.

I am expecting a Brexit-like situation where it starts out with nationalistic euphoria and then dreams come crashing when people realize the reality of doing everything at home (tm). Globalism is so succesful for a reason.

Funnily enough, 4chan's /g/ board got me into learning C when I was around 14. That went into doing my own small projects (like a music player in GTK), doing some PHP and NodeJS later on, and then going into a full blown freelance career. A place like 4chan having such a positive impact on one's life seems like a bit of God's sense of humor.

I did, until RISC-V started emerging.

Because it's the new cool tech.

Looks like an elaborate embezzling scheme to me.

Introduction: I deliver end-to-end solutions for upcoming start-ups (back-end, front-end and DevOps), with a heavy focus on web3 and crypto since it's my main area of interest.

I have been active in the space for the past 5 years, working with big names like BitPay. I am looking for a role that's going to challenge me (bonus if others have tried and not succeeded before) and give me an opportunity to be a part of the zero-to-hero journey of the next unicorn.

Send me an e-mail describing your project idea and what you are looking for to be built.
