marfusios··on Tether price manipulation
As a freelancer based in EU working on some US projects, I'm forced to pay 5.5% fee to PayPal or some fix fee to the banks (SWIFT payment). Plus conversion fee from USD to EUR (or my local currency).

That's too high for just a simple thing as receiving money from different country. Really looking forward for that Strike Global.

That's gonna be the killer app, low-cost global payments, finally we can accept international payments from non-crypto customers without ridiculous SWIFT or PayPal fees... https://jimmymow.medium.com/announcing-strike-global-2392b90...

So true, all devs should pay attention to backward compatibility, it would make our industry much more robust
marfusios··on Lessons from six years as a solo consultant
You don’t understand. $240K is not cool, $2M is cool. Good luck with hourly billing to get that kind of money. The only way to still doing what we love - software engineering (not some kind of managerial, leading, business role) is fixed price and re-selling already implemented stuff (same approach as lawyers).
marfusios··on Angular v8.0
Yea? What about routing, forms, state, styles encapsulation, code separation to modules, http clients, etc. A lot of choices for new React project, zero choices for Angular === faster startup.
marfusios··on Database schema changes are hard (2017)
Bullshit, DDD is a way, database should be just plugin.
