Then I modified my quantum chemistry simulation platform (https://atomictessellator.com) so that it would use this Python/websocket interface to a running 3D engine to visualise the molecular simulations
Why? It’s fun and I wanted to see if it would work.
I'm going to finally try to start my own company. Will it be a "startup"? I don't know. But it will be technical and it will go from 0-1 (or from 0-0). After years of lurking here, watching on the sidelines, working for larger companies, having kids, buying a house, I'm finally going to take the dive. I'm excited, nervous, lost, all at the same time. But I have enough savings and an accommodating spouse, so I don't h…
Got laid off in 2017 and never got a real job again. (I have a UX background) 1. I immediately went to Spain to do the Camino de Santiago. Was learning building web apps (Meteor) and launchd a full landing page / swing dance registration site while on the Camino. 2. Learned React and a few other tools after that, tried to be a consultant for a year. Then tried to launch a bunch of projects ("startups" if you wanted t…

I've been working on a web framework in Ruby. It's inspired by all the JS frameworks, but uses Haml instead of JSX and all code is executed on the server, and patches are streamed to the browser.

You can tell I haven’t done a lot of web dev since 2014 or so. :)

I started the autumn after covid reached America.
Recently I got into using mono.Cecil to rewrite c# assemblies (specifically assemblies created by IKVM). I haven’t had a personal project in years but this has definitely reignited a spark, so I’m going to try for a remote software engineering job first.

This can happen, but Paul "Kinko" Orfalea's book "Copy This!" goes into a lot of detail about how it makes sense to care about employees as people and doing so actually contributes greatly to the bottom line. His company "Kinko's Copies" is not the greatest tech leader ever, but it provided basic services to ordinary people using low paid labor and managed to have employee morale and retention far above other compani…
This example illustrates the first comment's point: it is fundamentally a transactional relationship. "Caring contributes greatly to the bottom line" means the goal of "caring" is increased productivity.

How did you feel about balancing studying skills with socializing & enjoying the journey of the Camino?
Not laid off but on an extended sabbatical. I'm working on a Rust library for SAT solving and other things informed by John Harrison's text on Automated Theorem Proving. https://github.com/aetilley/harrison-rust This is largely for me to to learn Rust, but I think it may have the potential to turn into something cool. Next on the todo list is optimizations to DPLL as the existing implementation is currently in its mo…
