Thanks for this perspective. It really helps the noobs trying to build more than single user stuff.
the_resistence··on GoDaddy – “unauthorized individual” had access to login info
I got hit by this. first time ever on the web since i started using it in early 90s. Fortunately, i had just registered a new URL and the 2 months delay before it can be transferred was in place. Very very un-nerving. I will move to namecheap or aws asap.
the_resistence··on FBI head defended encryption for WhatsApp before becoming fierce critic
How do the authorities "win" when they demand backdoors for individual citizen's activities/devices but companies are expected to protect their activities at all cost and access can only be theoretically gotten through court order?

the_resistence··on Ask HN: As an interviewer, how do you prepare for an interview?
Although my company did interview coaching, resume creation and LI Profile enhancement (support services for the interviewee), hopefully this is useful. Many interviewers are in risk minimization mode in the beginning. So they are looking for good fit and also inconsistencies in the career path. Life is messy with fits and starts but an overarching good story and understanding the thought process behind career moves goes a long way to lowering risk concerns. That should be aligned in both the resume and the oral interview. Employers want a problem solver with a general record of focus, attention, and seeking improvements. The right questions will allow these qualities to surface.

the_resistence··on Johns Hopkins coronavirus map changes “Taiwan” to “Taipei and environs”
Yes, Taiwan is an independent and sovereign nation. The US sells defensive arms to Taiwan. If it were not a separate country, how would this be allowed to happen?

the_resistence··on 6 months in and $1k MRR: my biggest mistakes so far
Really well put and so true. I have know careers ruined because of falsehoods believed without question.
the_resistence··on Ask HN: How do you handle toxic coworkers?
Best thing you can do with toxic people is pretend they don't exist. Instant relief and they are defanged most of the time. They have to escalate poor behavior to get the attention they crave and then they get to be too much for superiors.

the_resistence··on Show HN: Createresu.me – Client-Side PDF Resume Maker
Kudos for an all-around outstanding effort. Really beautiful. One thing to think about, from a professional perspective, is the million dollar problem for all these resume editors--providing an MS Word version. I prefer to do my reports generation in rmarkdown/latex but am forced to use MS Word for my resume clients. There are word templates you can use with rmarkdown and markdown (pandoc) but they take time to setup.

As a noob on Gatsby, I really look forward to studying this code!

the_resistence··on Show HN: Chromda – Serverless Website Screenshots
Definitely a noob at npm, when I run 'npm install', it freezes at:

Any tips or tricks would be much appreciated?

the_resistence··on Ask HN: What mistakes did you make when starting as a consultant/freelancer?
For B2C, get 100% upfront. For B2B, 50%. I am willing to walk away from all business when my payment terms are not met. Life is so much less problematic.
