That's interesting to hear, I didn't know Rails was a growing community. I haven't gone to public tech talks in sf in a while (3 years before covid), so wouldn't have as updated pu…

I started my career in RoR and regret doing so - I really had no idea what was going on, found a gem for everything, and understood very little about performance tuning other than …

Thank YOU! I have literally been looking for something like this to try to build a rocksdb-like project for fun. I've been waiting to pull the trigger on YC's code crafters ( https…

Thanks, I am - after reading this article also ordered "Jarrow Formulas" probiotic with this MB40 strain.

That's crazy, I was actually diagnosed with this about 3 days ago - it's living on my skin and I went to the doctor because an area of my skin was visibly red and smelling "fleshy"…

I have a (currently inactive) consulting company that was clearing 40% above my senior software engineering salary in the sf bay area. Eventually the stress of getting a company's …

Most DevOps technologies and teams are unnecessary. Things like app.logz.io, Prometheus, and Grafana provide no value. In fact I wish I could lay off the majority of our infra team…

There was a phrase in the recent Netflix show "Recruit" - everything in America tastes like sugar and everyone's struggling. Having lived in Finland, SE Asia, and Calfornia it's co…

https://lite.markee.io/?utm_source=startups.fyi I've been learning video streaming tech for the last year (ffmpeg, webrtc, all the great videos available of SF Video Technology - h…

My mentor worked at JPL - he was a BS, MS, PhD from MIT - he got out of there so quick (i believe less than 2 years). He said the pace of work was so slow, he didn't feel like anyt…

I'll say something I wish someone told me in my 20's: most leadership/upper management is poor. I've worked at FAANGs, a unicorn, and currently @ a company that recently IPO'd. Mos…

I was looking in my old email account and enjoyed seeing the liveliness of communication in old comms from companies like HortonWorks, Firebase, Whatsapp. Firstly, I feel communica…

yep this was my ratio as well

I've been to finland a few times, it's crazy to see people play slots at the front/back of the grocery story at 1 pm.

yeah, looked up the old email thread. It seemed like a nice deal - if anyone is interested Bay Systems Consulting, Inc. contracts with Nasa Ames Research Center. Hope it helps some…

I'm surprised more people haven't brought up NASA? I was offered 180k/yr salary in 2020 doing fullstack development. While the offer was brought through a recruiting agency, I beli…

the problem I have with this is that I'm a lead in a team of 12 engineers + 1 manager + 2 pm. There's too much bloat and everyone knows it, but the moment I make a succinct argumen…

my wife and I absolutely hated 1899, but we also hated midnight mass as well - it's possible these types of series aren't our pallet but I wouldn't invest too much time with 1899.

> and comes out behind in the end. As someone in the tri community in vc funded silicon valley, I haven't heard of a better alternative to strava? would genuinely be interested in …

This is one company i've always wanted to work for- my mother is a CTO of a company in the same space/different aspect of the pipeline so I knew this company was going to do well w…

I've checked out your profile and uplause, it looks like you're also making an onlyfans for india? Not sure what the value add is.

Coincidentally, I was thinking about this about a week ago. If you look at my post history my career traces a pre-ipo FAANG where everyone knew how to spin up a service and connect…

This happened to my grandmother! I frankly never believed it because we're taught one cannot go into remission, but one day in her 60s she no longer had to manager her diabetes.

I'm not laid off but actively looking to change after spending a couple of years at my current employer. Despite being a staff engineer, managing 12 engineers, and having a solid r…
