nodra··on Ask HN: Would you pick Unity for game development?
I was going to look at Unreal after I’m done messing with Godot. Unreal is a lot when you open it up. A little intimidating.

nodra··on Ask HN: What's a promising area to work on in 2024 -ideally not crowded already?

nodra··on Is Software Engineering Real Engineering?
First time I ever looked up the definition of an engineer:

“a person who designs, builds, or maintains engines, machines, or public works.”

nodra··on Seattle could become the first city to ban caste discrimination
I think you did miss something. Someone asked how Seattle is fucked and I had a simple response.
nodra··on Seattle could become the first city to ban caste discrimination
I have been living in the CD for about 25 years, and I have noticed an increase in drive-by shootings over the last five years. While it's not as bad as it was in the early 90s when Deuce 8 was more active on my block, the situation has deteriorated compared to 10 years ago
nodra··on Seattle could become the first city to ban caste discrimination
The context of the question isn’t about how it’s related to the caste policy. Maybe I missed something?

Not addressing the homeless and crime issues is a kick in the face to us tax payers in her district. Not to knock on the caste system policy but there’s biggest issues to tackle before anything else. Just my .02

I had no ideas about the GUIs. Thanks so much for the link. Makes me want to use it even more.
nodra··on Ask HN: What’s your plan for getting laid off?
Financial: Beyond my 16 month emergency fund, probably get unemployment which might be enough for our monthly expenses.

Tech prep: I’ll probably find an interesting open source project and work on that while doing some leetcoding and system design on the side.

Job search: I noticed there is a number of openings at banks, insurance companies, and other not so sexy places here in Seattle.

nodra··on Ask HN: Why did back-end development explode in complexity?
> People literally use hundreds of different tools for no reason at all.

Slightly Disagree. Resume driven development (RDD) is a thing.

nodra··on Ask HN: What is your new year's resolution?
That’s super cool. I hope I can see some of your progress this year. Have a good one!
nodra··on Ask HN: What are you going to learn in 2023?
Care to share what your dreams are? No worries if not.
nodra··on Ask HN: What is your new year's resolution?
This is cool. Any particular path you’re going to follow?
nodra··on Ask HN: What are your New Year’s Resolutions?
Health: 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night / 30 minutes of exercise 5 days a week / Plan meals for the week / Give myself more respect and credit.

Tech: I’ve been a generalist software engineer for 8 years and want to dive deep into a particular topic. Still trying things out to see what sticks. It’s probably difficult to suggest things without knowing me but I’m very open to suggestions!

Career: Focus more during work hours and work less.

Misc: Find an OSS project that’s fun to contribute to or start one.

I used to make these big goals and have never completed them. I think this is list is doable for me since I’ve been doing it already.

Here to watch the Argentinian flop fest
nodra··on Ask HN: Where are all the mechanical engineers?
Are you going to stick it through or transition to something else?
nodra··on Ask HN: Do you regret being a generalist?
Same age range although I started programming in my late 20’s. I have been letting job listings dictate what I learn. I should stop but don’t know what to focus on.

Anyways, your comment resonated with me and I appreciate it.

nodra··on Ask HN: Folks who were around the 2008 Recession
My comment might be irrelevant but in 2008, I couldn’t even get a job as a waiter. I was job hunting for over a year. This doesn’t seem like 2008… yet.

I work at a Fortune 100 company and they are laying people off and have stopped hiring, even internal transfers can’t happen. So this tells me that it might get worse before it gets better. Either way, life goes on.

nodra··on Jeff, founder of the Software Engineering Daily podcast, has passed away
Super sad. I really enjoyed the podcast. Condolences to his loved ones.
nodra··on Why people in HN have no sense of humor?
IMHO, I’m sure a lot of people are fun and funny here. I kind of like that it’s more serious.If I’m looking for humor, I usually go to something like Reddit or twitter. Just my.02
