Are you hiring for other roles? I see "Core Engineering" that would seem up my ally.

Sorry about that!

This looks so cool. Definitely shot you an email.

I applied recently (mar 28) and looking forward to a reply.

This definitely looks up my ally. I'm not seeing the Staff Frontend Engineer role on the page. I only see "Senior Product Engineer."

Nice domain name.

I applied to this back in Mar 18, is there a way to receive an update?

Are most jobs on-site? I tried applied to Snowflake for the Senior Frontend position but was rejected a few days later.

What is surprising is that Netflix is pushing out JavaScript, and not TypeScript, related projects in 2024.

I use AstroVim in the same vein. Been using vim for a while but the hardest part of me actually making me want to keep using it is the formatting. Somehow, someway, the linting and formatting (whether its eslint vs prettier vs whatever else) always makes it a battle. VS Code does this to perfection. With vim, I have to battle and make small concessions on how formatting behaves.

I have been developing https://beta.delaford.com. It's a 2D Online JavaScript RPG using TypeScript and HTML <canvas> along with Node.js on the backend. It's allowed to me to skip tech screenings, use it as an ice-breaker and people always seem to love seeing it. Definitely has gotten me a leg up when I use to interview.

It sure would nice to find it on the webpage. I got done trying to search for it after 5 minutes.

Shame -- I cannot seem to download it.

Yeah this works great until you realize you're the one _always_ initiating and they say "Wow thanks for getting in touch" and you don't talk to them for another 3 years.

Beautiful UI. What's the framework -- React? Vue? Angular?

Well, just think of how many tutorials (aka 99.9%) iterate git master branch.

When new people start, they are going to wonder what master vs main branch is -- I guarantee it.

Not surprised.

Travis CI is owned by Idera, Inc. who also own Sencha who make Ext.js -- a pay-to-use JavaScript framework.

First thing they did when Idera, Inc. bought Travis CI? They gutted the Travis CI team.

Care to share what you are building?

Expand? :)

I've been using Ubuntu 20.04 since it's release now (a few months?) and my biggest gripe has been bluetooth connectivity and fixing updating issues (gpg keys, no releases, etc.)

Dang. That sounds great. I hope to one day start my own consulting firm.

That is great to hear. I am happy for you. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of tech consulting do you do?

I am currently using Ubuntu 20.04 with the Sabrent Rocket M.2 SSD and AMD Ryzen 3900x and several times my OS continiously locks up some programs for a short time (Chrome, Firefox, etc.) or becomes really slow. This computer I built is relatively new and used for work mostly so I am not sure if it's Ubuntu or I downloaded a stray snap package but man I have noticed Snap packages can be ... slow.

I used Debian and it seems to be gaining detractors from Ubuntu, my only question is... what made you switch and sick with Debian?

I was on AT&T's website the other day (https://www.att.com/) because I am a customer and I was just astonished how blatantly they're abusing redirection and just the general speed of the page. (ie: Takes 5-10 seconds to load your "myATT" profile page on 250MB up/down).

It's 2020. This should not be that hard. I've worked at a bank and know that "customer data" is top priority but at what point does the buck stop? Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

How?

Didn't Equifax have open customer data back when that attack happened?

so, where exactly did you start? surely not on freelancing websites... but rather your network, yes?

what is your tech stack? I am interested.

It comes with the expectation that the average user is dumb enough to think that by going on a "premium domain name" that it, therefor, makes the product better and marketability even more attractive.

It's stupid.

You'd think having credentials at hand would be a 10-second check.

What a sad way of handling things.
