It doesn't have to be stressful or full-commitment. I'm cool with $50k ARR.

Title should be: I don't want to take VC money and I don't think you do either

It's kind of fishy this is the only comment OP responded to. And OP's other most recent comment was on a basecamp thread

Isn't the issue just drivers?

I like how that comment has more responses than the OP

I only read the abstract (first paragraph), so maybe I'm way off base here. I'm about to go to bed and want to bang this out: I think it's three pieces that need to come together. The source, the system it's running on,

I'm glad it's Lua since it gives me a leg up over all the other companies with devs who don't want to learn a new language. OpenResty is slept on so hard.

What a wonderful argument. Really shows your intellect.

This is the future. If you're doing iOS or Android dev professionally, your days are numbered.

Good luck, you're gonna need it

And also why would you want to be like Musk or Zuckerberg? They both seem super weird. And IIRC Musk actually said "you don't want to be me".

Yeah the Digg migration is what killed the site, IMO. Now that I see this comment thread, I really need to stop visiting that site. It was clearly dead by 2016 and it's only getting worse now. Even subs like /r/ExperiencedD

I doubt it. Netflix doesn't have a monopoly on infrastructure like the cable companies did.

No problem, hopefully we can get out of this rut! :D Yeah I only have a sample size of two, but I insinuated I was fired at both, and neither wanted to move forward. Perhaps I should have been blunt about it instead of hinting at it. Or may

I am in a similar position as you. I have a medical issue and I was fired in August 2018. Differences being: - I intentionally got myself fired so I could get an extra $25k in salary/severance/unemployment. - It was my first job o

Exactly. If you want shirts without stripes then just search "shirt -stripes" ( https://www.google.com/search?q=shirt+-stripes )

If I were in your position, I'd probably get a job at someplace like Facebook or Google. They're huge, cushy companies and probably have resources for SWEs that go blind. Who knows maybe you can go on disability while you're

I always thought it was just political/bureaucratic cruft nobody bothered to fix, because they're Google, and they can have the shittiest interview process in the world and it wouldn't really matter. It seems inferior in ever

If I were to guess, Facebook's recruiting pipeline is centralized. Whether or not to hire is done at the executive level. When Facebook hires someone, they are first a "Facebook employee", go through the bootcamp, and decide

I know this is kind of a joke but this will never catch on the way videogame speedruns do. Watching someone else write code is incredibly boring

> Is the difference going to be 5% or 30% annual? I honestly have no clue. I'm slotted as L4/E4 at both companies. I'm single and am in NYC paying $50/day at an Airbnb but can cancel that and move back in with my pare

This. Lots of cheap/desperate talent right now.

I wouldn't say it's mindless. Organic growth is okay for a lifestyle business, but if you want to compete with Google/FB/etc you need fast growth (or a really fucking good business plan). If you want fast growth then you

Because of robo calls I forward all my calls to a disabled voicemail box. My phone hasn't rung in over 2 years
