I’m a dev in Australia looking for new gigs. Recruiters were absolutely hounding me 8 months to a year ago. Now it’s crickets. Startups seem to be gone. Some bigger corporate gigs …

Are you an Aussie for tax purposes? If so, I'd personally default to Australia and worry about the rest after having some success. If not, I'd go Delaware.

Usually by the Reasonable Person Test: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasonable_person . It can be pretty subjective, but it often gets clarified with enough common law precedent (…

This is super impressive! Is there a common open source library (Python, JS, whatever) that implements something like this?

Yes. I wouldn't "work" for a company that didn't provide me with hardware. I'm assuming you're using "work" to mean an employee-employer relationship. If you want me to provide my …

You've given us a few paragraphs about the situation. No one here can tell you if he was attempting to disrespect you. I'll note that you've called this person a friend in your pos…

It’s not really the specific employees making that call. Being a “principle engineer” is the job title in the contract.

Quick background: I'm a software engineer with a few years XP. I have a very design-focused friend that's looking to move into a product designer role. They've expressed major inte…

Just a note, but you can’t delete a comment if it receives a child comment.

> although to be fair sociopathy is essentially just another form of stupidity Out of curiosity, what do you mean by this?

Awesome to hear! How do you handle this? Do you store the SQLite file somewhere like s3 or just in memory? How does this work for such high traffic sites?

Appreciate the link! You've given me a fun project for the Easter break.

Beeper looks pretty awesome! Sorry to hijack the thread, but from the above link: > Yes, iMessage works even on Android, Windows and Linux! How could this be sustainable long-term?…

I somehow stumbled across this over the weekend. There's a React component library (with a deployed storybook): * https://github.com/trussworks/react-uswds * https://trussworks.git…

> I think my company has been treating it too much like the latter. I think that's very common.

Swap out some with most. Glad I'm not in an office.

I did something similar. Searching for verify and verification are good for those cases where you signed up with a Gmail email. You can also navigate to Settings > Security > Signi…

Interested to hear some perspectives. Bonus points for your thoughts in the below situations: 1. You pay 100% of the cert price out of pocket. 2. Your employer matches 30% of the p…

Sup anon, I'm from the same area and work in the same niche. If you have passable React skills and any past experience, you should be employable now. I wouldn't bother with the tod…

> And if it gets too much, “sorry I gotta call my boss” is a believable excuse to get out of anything you find awkward or if you’ve had enough. Knowing you have that parachute migh…

I'm not disagreeing with that at all. My issue is with this absolute claim: > There is no societal problem for which "just move away" is a solution. That's just untrue and useless …

I don't agree with the person you're replying to, but this is a bizarre take: > There is no societal problem for which "just move away" is a solution. Why make such an absolute? He…

I don't disagree that useEffect is a great extraction overall. But the mental load to understand it vs. explicit lifecycle methods is significantly worse. The ability to subscribe …

Agree 100%. The migration from componentDidMount, componentDidUpdate, etc to useEffect was a major regression in terms of readability. The return function in useEffect vs. componen…
