   My blog: https://brendonbody.blog Just a basic Jekyll template. I have had a 2 year break and recently got back into it. In that time I also forgot to renew my old .com domain and had it taken over. Have had a few posts that pre

   This looks great! I wish I found this at the start of the year. I have been building something similar closed source.

   I think it highly depends what kind of company you are looking for, FAANG? Tech startup? Finance? Average company? To more directly answer your question: 1. Like you said, a recruiter spending 5 seconds on your resume might not understand a

   I try to stick to one main project ( https://issueembed.dev/ ) but do allow myself to indulge in one or two other ones when I need a break. I also try to have my environment setup automated and some level of testing so that i

   Thanks for the feedback, I have been thinking of whether making email optional or allowing the admin to not show it. Your feedback is a noted data point, thank you!

   Hey thank you very much. No login needed for submitting an issue. However follow up is handled differently: Public repos: the reporter is given the link on successful submission, so to communicate further a GitHub account is required Pri

    Hey HN creator of Issue Embed here, this is my lockdown project. I wanted a tool to collect bugs on my websites but every other tool I could find would either want me to use their issue tracking platform or was too expensive. I just needed

    My favorite is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15797391 , it is a reply to a story about a time traveler coming back warning us about Bitcoin.

    I lived in Vanuatu for a couple of months working, I used to have kava once a week. I found it to be a lot better than alcohol at helping me wind down from work, got used to the taste after a little bit.

    Exactly, agree with you 100%. However I think when we start our careers there is a resistance to put ourselves out there.

    Thank you for the feedback, I am glad you interpreted what I wrote that way. I was trying to essentially take my conversation with my friend, take the advice I gave to him and add some self-reflection.

    Nothing like the feeling of seeing some terrible old code in a shared repository, looking at git blame and seeing it was written by you.

    Thanks for pointing out the typo, it has been fixed. I guess it is a phrase I heard more than I read/wrote.

    Author here, with regard to "taking it down/replacing it", I found a middle ground. I moved all those repositories to another organization (that I control), so my profile is clean and if I need/want to see that code I ca

    I think it is now a ploy by candidates/public figures to just dismiss their opponents as bots. I am in no doubt that there are bots out there sewing mistrust and chaos but accusing someones followers of being "Russian bots" i

    I like to read fiction, play video games and socialize to relax, I find that these activities force me to concentrate and helps me temporarily forget about work and other obligations.

    I think improving communication skills, particularly technical topics to non-technical people will always be advantageous regardless of where your career takes you in tech.

    Might be a bit out there but I always thought there should be tools which help provide code snippets inside your IDE as you develop. I think Twitter Bootstrap might be a low hanging fruit for this.
