Hey, great work. I have a small feature request. I want to be able to give feedback on code to my students, just like in github. Click on a particular line(number), a text box pops up and then I can type in my comments. Is it possible to build the feature?
I love this idea!

My introduction to computers was similar. I began by learning turtle graphics in the Logo programming language during my childhood days. It allowed me to be creative and draw pictures on a blank canvas using code. Back then, for me, programming was not about solving useful problems. Instead it was about expressing whatever random ideas come to mind. Quoting a relevant excerpt from my own blog post[1] that I wrote som…

Ah yes, obedient workers. But also creative and open minded. And autonomous. Well as long as they are autonomously doing the thing I want. Scratch the creative part, I‘m already creative enough! Also loyalty is super important - for them of course. I reserve the privilege to lay them off or fire them - business is business after all.
I believe he put it in a wrong way but he has a valid point. How can you be so passionate about working in a place you never worked at? there's a big risk you're just in love with the idea and you'll be deluded once you experience it first hand. It's a risky hire if the day to day job doesn't match his big expectations.
However when reading the above the tone seemed ridiculously over the top, which is why I tuned in.

Small fix: when you click next it should bring you to the top of the page instead of staying at the bottom. It gets annoying needing to scroll up every time and really takes you out of focus.

I feel like for a lot of us, at its most basic level, software development is truly creative. It's not the activity that people traditionally associate with the term "creative outlet" but for me at least it's akin to combining human emotional experience and music theory to compose a song or a flavor inspiration and the 12 tastes in food to create a dish. Even further as I've moved into a Machine Learning Engineer rol…
The poor little TensorBoard is crying right now because you didn't love it.
Ha! I have a kind of similar [0] story with Substack. I couldn't get to work there (I really wanted to) so created a "read fiction on your email" side-project[1], which evolved to a more ambitious "substack for fiction" project: https://www.confabulistas.com.br (for Brazilian market, so in portuguese). [0] "Kind of" because I couldn't even apply. Very early on I exchanged a few emails with the founder and they wouldn…

If you're a freelance or equivalent, you should apply anyways to those Remote (US) positions, YMMV, but since you can be treated as an external provider, they don't care about where you reside as long as it makes sense with timezones and such for meetings etc... That's my experience at least, have worked for some US companies remotely from europe that way anyways
Good on you man! You: 1. Dodged a bullet (booo on any company that would reject someone with this level of passion). 2. Created your own product (which you seem even more passionate about) 3. Did all the heavy lifting to make it interesting out of the gate (provided content). Wishing you all the success!
> 1. Dodged a bullet (booo on any company that would reject someone with this level of passion). Passion is a double-edged sword: When a person's passions align closely with the company's needs, it's wonderful. But if a person's passions conflict with what the founders want, the passion can amplify the conflict. That's why it's important to understand exactly what the candidate is passionate about. If they're passion…
