Looking to continue working with smart people and focus on my growth. For my next job I would like to work on some harder problems and see how deep I can go. If I sound like someone you'd like to work with, send me an email and I'll reply with an up to date CV.
I don't think it will help people learn as much as having to write everything yourself. Sure it will get them productive 10x faster, as a shortcut. You can only get so good at riding a bicycle by watching others ride a bike. Remember that caching issue that cost you hours of debugging? You don't forget that. Maybe the generated code doesn't produce a bug this time, but the 5th or 6th time? It's hard enough to debug code you wrote yourself sometimes, let alone generated code.
Only if you've gotten through the waitlist. I signed up at least a month ago, no word. There was a comment thread the other day about getting around the wait by selecting the option that you're looking to build plugins, which apparently gets you expedited.
The FDA has laid out the ethical groundwork: if a patient has no other options, a safe (sterile) surgery may be performed. It's only because they revoked his approval to use the specific type of implant. Would it really require so much money to demonstrate sterility? Or did Kennedy just not want to have to deal with bureaucracy and barely functional/dying patients and therefore took matters into his own hands? If so I don't blame him; if you can't communicate with your subject it's hard to make sure everything is being done right.
Love Linode, been a customer for years. The only support ticket I had to file was because of a copy/paste error on my end and support helped me resolve it quickly and effortlessly. Great performance and cost. Was really a no brainer when AWS wouldn't stop billing me for a service I shut down and I couldn't get through to a human.
That's great! I fell in love with Wireguard after using OpenVPN for years and donated a small amount. Sure they're drops in the bucket, but they add up if more people get out of the mindset that their contribution is negligible. What's more is the author can get some form of feedback.
Very true. I could see WireGuard turning into something at the level of Kubernetes, where there is a gigantic ecosystem built around that core piece of technology, which everyone needs to support.
I have a few website ideas floating around - a news aggregator built for accessibility and (some day) internationalization. I think the toughest problem for this app is parsing all news sites' HTML correctly and would benefit from a group of people working on it. Another idea is to open source the translations so it can serve content from many different countries. Could use some feedback.
Another site is a group of easy to use tools (whatsmyipaddress clone, document grepper, proxy site). The main differentiator is that the tools can be used via API as well as by visiting the webpage.
I'm open to collaborating. Not trying to do anything bleeding edge here, just trying to build something that people will use.
Rather than parsing HTML, it might be easier to look for news organizations that publish an RSS feed and transform that into something that is more accessible and internationalized.
I appreciate the reply. I actually do parse RSS from the main page if it exists. However, not all sites have RSS feeds and those that do lack other interesting information (author, etc). I definitely had that thought earlier on but my focus was on other things.
