I have got a few but that was many years ago, I also have friends who have shared that they got nice gigs from hn threads. If you look at the post history, there were barely any "SEEKING FREELANCER" messages which is likely the re

I found it easier to create a fine-grained github token with minimal scope/permissions for the tasks I intend to delegate. For context, I'm running multiple agents and each of them is isolated with its own token.

I have been running a company like this for ~6 years, we are only engineers, and, I'm the only one handling sales. Getting started is the hardest part, like many are saying, its simpler when you can rely on your network. Everything is

Not everything needs K8s, over the years I have worked with many different deployment approaches, the way I do deploy hugely depends on the kind of work I'm doing but my rule is to keep it as simple as possible. In my own projects I h

When I was younger I used to believe that nothing serious could happen because I don't use Windows and "I was smart enough" to not execute malware (yeah, I didn't care on downloading it; how wrong I was). Someone already

sbt is way better than what it used to be, also, check-out scala-cli which is very nice.

It definitely took a while for most libraries to catch-up with Scala 3, now, I don't see anything is missing in the main area I work with (web development), playframework already works for Scala 3.

While the tooling isn't perfect, it has improved considerably over the last years, I remember when IntelliJ couldn't deal with Scala 3 but now, it rarely complains. Related to Python 2->3, I don't see how Scala 2->3 com

This is a super cool idea, in fact, its been a few months since I have been thinking on making something like meet.hn + findkismet.com, let the people share in which city they are and make introductions to people from the same city. Thanks!

I have done this, it can work with some kids, still, its too much work. At this age, I think it is more important to keep them motivated and find ways to use their creativity than to get them through the pains of debugging and learning too

Not a job but I got a contract due to a webapp template I have in my github profile, my customer shared that he wanted someone that wouldn't start from scratch and my template looked good enough to get the job done.

A few years ago, I was involved in a team with less than 10 engineers, we decided to switch to bazel in order to improve the build times, specially the CI runtime. On the good side: - bazel forces you to have an acyclic architecture, still,
