Couldn't be further from the truth. Sorry.
You've already recognised this so I won't dwell on it too much. What are your options from here: IMO, "guerilla advertising", AKA promoting your work on Reddit and Twitter communities. Don't overdo it. But without cold hard cash for marketing I don't know how far you'll get.
As for the actual idea... eh, I don't get it. At first I thought it's just crowdsourcing but then I read that people offer a service in return. Isn't that just... you know... a job? There was a similar idea that appeared on the UK show Dragon's Den (aka Shark Tank in the US), but it was more for getting a loan from family and friends.
I like the website design, very friendly and approachable.
PS: the example campaigns on your site are too obviously fake: way too much production value in those photos!
Though I suppose cookies will always be a fallback option if the website detects that the browser doesn't support the Topics API...
Personally, I hate "leet-code" style interview questions and nebulously defined take-home tasks.
The best interview questions I've had to answer are where you are given a series of contrived issues on an imaginary system which you have to diagnose and fix. It opens up the room for discussion and it's much closer to reality than fizz-buzz.
I've been part of 1 or 2, and whilst you can find people to chat with there, these communitites are often owned and run by someone who wants to make money out of you so expect invites to webinars, promos, etc...
I don't quite remember his exact reply but it was something a long the lines of "I'm just a regular dude who's interested in this stuff".
> Any affiliation to noclip, the documentary people?
> I chatted with them once, but the name is a coincidence. The name comes from an old Quake command that would let you fly through the levels here, just like in the game.
Their channel is great, FWIW.
I like the landing page style; did you use a theme/template? I feel like I've seen this style on a lot of tech products -- whilst I really like it, I don't think it matches the nature of the site/product in this case.
What advantages do you offer over ChatGPT, other than the text messages?
Really nice!
Schedule a 1:1 with you manager. Don't reveal the agenda, but be polite and just say you want to discuss some things.
During the meeting get the answers to your questions. This time you can be direct (but still polite). If your manager is beating around the bush / sugar coating, your initial senses were probably right.
Like with a lot of things, some foods and drinks are "indoctrinated" to us as children. I imagine mate falls into this category.
Could also argue coffee and alcohol taste horrible at first, but you learn to suss out the more complex flavours with habitual use. Of course you also learn to enjoy them because of the effects they have on your body.
I don't know, I'm not a real colour theorist! Aaaah what even are colours! Do I know all the colours? What if my selection is wrong!
> The question of alphabet reform is hardly new for these countries—over the last 150 years or so, Kazakh has been written in Arabic, Latin, and Cyrillic, each prevailing at different points in the language’s history.
Also, it works for me...
First, we're a fully remote team, so all meetings are virtual. Super informal, fun and casual.
We all put it suggestions for what we want to read then we let a random wheel decide for us. Nobody is forced to read anything they don't want though! We sometimes try to alternate fiction and non-fiction.
We normally give ourselves a month to read it. Some of our team have dyslexia, so they prefer listening to it.
If everyone's finished it, we meet up and talk about the book. If someone hasn't, we delay the next meeting to allow them to finish it. At the end of the chat we ask everyone if they would recommend the book or not (we wanted to avoid "rating" the books out of X)
That's it basically.
I think I've also learned/learning to be kinder to myself.
"Pomo" can appear as "porno" with some fonts.
I was hoping it would magically translate some of the math notation into plain English but I think it kind of just ignored it. Would love to see this.
Minor feedback: the UI doesn't really convey that the highlighted text is being processed. I was wondering if anything was happening at first.
Anyone here have recommendations?
I am currently reading about the Olympus OM-1 and it all sounds great apart from the lack of exposure compensation (but that might just teach me the hard way).
When you're watching a video and you go back, the url updates but the page doesn't refresh/redirect, the video just ends up restarting. Very annoying.
