Never heard about postgresql being written for hdds. Could you provide a source?

(Not gp) I read this book more than a decade ago, when I was very inexperienced. The thing I remember the most, and I think the most valuable to me, is the idea of defining a shared domain language with the business domain experts, with a clearly defined meaning for each concept identified. For instance, what a "frozen" account exactly means, what's the difference with a "blocked" account. These are arbitrary, but must be shared among all the participants. This enables very precise and clear communication.

Same here. This is what happens when business/developer interests align.

Could you please elaborate on consulting = death?

Very nice

I just bought a nice Asus Zenbook and first I did as soon as I received it was installing pop os. I keep my old windows notebook near by in case I need something I can't do in the Linux machine, but its use is more and more infrequent.

> Improv is a pretty constant source of upsetting insight into myself

Well, that made me chuckle

Just an idea, hope it's not stupid: Maybe you can get/prepare some kind if gel solution similar to what they use when doing an electrocardiogram?

Maybe that would make the experience a little better.

I've been browsing Reddit using Reddit is Fun on android and it's a delight to use.

Have my vote

Hi! Thanks for doing this!

I've been wondering for a while whether it's possible/practical to create a solo company (maybe Delaware LLC) in the US just to be able to offer and invoice my services as a software developer to US companies that look for US candidates.

I assume (please correct me if you think I'm wrong) that sometimes this requirement is because of taxes and bureaucracy, and my be could be overcome by hiring a US company services (owned and operated by a non US citizen/resident).

Thanks again for giving your time for this!

Cheers!

I run my own email using mail-in-a-box running on a 5 dollar Linode, works like a charm with almost no maintenance (the little maintenance I do is always requested automatically by the system itself, and I'm notified by email)

I think SerenityOS is written in C++

This had me laughing loudly, and sadly.

Really super good article, give it a read if you haven't shipped because of reasons

> It has been superseded by X3D.

Looks great. I've thought of a similar concept very fuzzily in my head.

This is top notch advice

This is what makes me really undecided about switching jobs. I've been working in the same domain for almost 20 years. I think I'm a very competent SWE, but I also think my domain knowledge is what really impress my customers.

The movie "About Time (2013)" shows a nice answer to this question. I enjoyed it a lot, so I highly recommend it

This will probably settle with many new small companies succeeding at software products. The interests align beatifully when the SWE are de owners of the business.

Maybe there are more users now?

I suspect this is what most of us do

I'm not on safari (or Mac), so I can't try it. But what I usually do is collapse the comments I already read, and when I check the thread later, I can distinguish new (or previously unread) comments.

I would say, don't spend a dime before you read at least one marketing book. I'm now reading "Marketing Made Simple" and so far it's very insightful.

Plus built-in UPS

I'm working for a local company making ARS800,000 (almost USD 4,000) a month. I think I'm the most experienced senior, with a lot of business knowledge as I worked in the industry (Electronics Manufacturing) for almost 20 years. I not only code, but also make most of the architectural decisions.

After seeing this I realized how badly underpaid I am.

I work full stack, have pretty deep experience using postgresql and node js. So if thats something you find useful, don't hesitate to contact me. My email is my user name @Hotmail

I get a lot of offers from your company in my LinkedIn in feed. I never applied because all of then show a USD9,000 salary, no matter what the technical specialty is, which I find a little suspicious (I assume you're just luring candidates to provide their data, with no concrete position paying that number). Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm not accusing you of this behavior, just commenting that this is what I imagine and the reason I have not applied. Could you please tell me more about how your company works? Thanks!

I use Windows with wsl2. It's really good, specially with W11 which brings seamless integration with Linux GUI apps. Definitely worth a try.

It's a different kind of stress though. I'd say, go for it. You probably won't get it right on the first attempt. It's really good to have some cash saved. And be open to getting back to work for a company while you try. Best wishes to you!

I run mail-in-a-box on a $5 Linode. Very usable, never had an issue.
