Nathan Fielder is a phenomenally odd fellow who pushes the boundaries of comedy quite a lot. He also has proven himself to be a skilled (albeit atypical) 'growth hacker' and worn many other …

Fair point. Can you think of a better way to weave that into what I’m trying to illustrate as a mental model? I struggled with that. Happy to read a PR that tries to capture it better.

Thanks!

You also could use an advisory exact lock, which would serialize the order of input and force everyone to wait in line, but the advantage here is that we are allowed shared concurrent reads while main…

That would be super cool. Pretty much everything Supabase is up to is awesome.

If you have any feedback or anything is unclear feel free to open an issue. I am thinking I am going to take this and expand the concepts to start as a beginners primer going through the primary conce…

Oban is great! This is definitely just met to be a learning exercise. But it could go quite a ways on its own in prod.

I wrote this up after having written a tutorial on doing this in GenStage around a decade ago, and thought it was interesting to have the two of them side by side to consider. I linked the original in…

I believe that Nolen has already done doom in iPhoto, if you are into that kind of thing.

I attended Nolen's recent talk at Recurse, and these absolutely mad but fundamentally funny and cool games as one-shots are so delightful. It reminds me of the older internet, when people would m…

I guess it depends on how you come in. I was in a position where I came around 2012 with some self taught skills and managed to start out with a 50-60 hour grind but 70k wage and climb slowly into the…

See my other comment. But, IMHO, you sit at a time where you will be able to make more cool things faster than anyone has ever been able to before. And that if you are a curious person and/or vor…

I consider my job to be being a skilled practitioner that develops solutions for complex problems using technology. New technology is available to allow me to do that for my employer and potentially m…

Unrelated, but I would implore everyone who enjoys anything relating to the words "dark star" to listen to this compilation of the jams of every Dark Star the Grateful Dead played in 1972. I…

I have been a Live View skeptic for years. Recently in 30 days we were able to build an MVP of a complex tool (ingesting ML models, time series + regular databases, complex FE interactions, live notif…

I was remote for almost the entirety of the last 5 years. This is just my experience, YMMV. My first job had a remote team that I was promoted onto. They had a _very_ healthy culture that ensured remo…

I have a tool I'm working on that is specifically geared towards assisting the transcription of printed books to braille for The Clovernook Center for the Blind [1] built on top of Atom as an ext…

This really hits home for me. I once had a conversation with a very, very experienced developer who ran a local meetup and was discussing salary options at a new job. He balked when I told them what I…

I've interacted with Rick a bit in the past and hes an awesome developer. Really glad to see progress continuing with this.

Honestly, it is elegant, simple, and serves the purpose they need. I have worked with a few agents and talent representatives and this is the ideal they seem to shoot for even if they are not in such …

Even if this is a global network, if this is your game it seems like just sticking around Central America and Southeast Asia and you can live at a fraction of the cost with plenty of amenities.

Author/Poster here. If anyone has any feedback, questions in general or anything I'm more than happy to answer. PR's welcome if you spot any errors :)

Admittedly, I live in Puerto Rico and T-Mobile is one of the few providers that have solid 4g coverage on most of the island. BUT: For $95 a month I get 14gb regular tethering, and these streaming ser…
