If you have Apple Intel hardware, I strongly strongly strongly recommend you migrate to Linux. It works amazingly on MacOS, except I guess the sound drivers aren't perfect. Too many security holes in old, unpatched software.
I'm a full-stack product engineer who's been coding since 2017, and uses all the latest in AI-tooling to accelerate my output. You can find my Github at https://github.com/mikhael28 to see some of my open-source work & personal projects. My portfolio website has my resume, and some visual examples of the personal projects mentioned as well as my emerging blog at https://michaelnightingale.dev
Something I built last month in February: https://10xcardgame.com - a multiplayer card game for software engineers, inspired by Magic the Gathering, to help engineers bone up on their DSA knowledge. Full streaming netcode & WebRTC-enabled chatrooms self-hosted on my Rasberry Pi, where my OpenClaw agent hangs out as well.
Crazy to hear how much spam & straight up liars are applying nowadays. Not being able to pass a technical interview is one thing, but sending a fake resume and then expecting to not be exposed as a fraud is just crazy, sociopath behavior.
Maybe a startup could work on this problem - HN has two moderators, I’m not sure it’s realistic to ask them to track more than what they already do. How would they even track and verify such hearsay anyway?
Fantastic! A great proof of concept on Linux - lots of AAA gaming is already possible on Mac with Crossover and/or Parallels or VMWare Personal, which is free! While I have a Steam Deck, gaming on Mac works for me - I refuse to play Baldurs Gate 3 on a controller.
Suits can be very comfortable to wear, even with neckties and dress shoes. The first monkeys probably though shirts were hot, stuffy and uncomfortable too. They are not ridiculous items.
Ethereum’s smart contracts are inherently insecure. Look at all the money lost through oracle hacks and bridge attacks. If crypto ever becomes viable, mark my words - Ethereum will not be that platform.
Yeah, huge mistake. I see way too many people casually addicted to wasting their money and burning it for no good reason. I enjoy playing fantasy football, but gambling on it is a sad use of your hard earned money that will only impoverish people and keep them working for the man.
I made a non-serious, sarcastic and parodious comment in a serious thread. My bad guys!
I just think non-competes are bad for employees though - if someone sells trade secrets, that can be somewhat obvious, and can be pursued legally without non-competes. It just creates an environment that keeps people down at the benefit of the powerful.
lol I was trying to be sarcastic, came off as bitter?
I’m not even looking for a job, I’m traveling the world and living my best life. I think my comment was more about how non-competes encourage toxic ideas of what loyalty you, as a free agent, are supposed to offer people who are fundamentally just paying you some money while they don’t reciprocate. Not that I’ve had this experience myself, just something I’ve seen others go through. I’ve had nothing but great employers for the most part.
As long as Zuck keeps releasing open-source models, the moat will continue to disappear from these companies. Only expensive, corporate processing tiers will exist and everyone will run stuff locally. Not a lot of money to be made from local processing.
It’s insane behavior like this that is why we didn’t discover electricity for five thousand years of civilization. Scammers ruthlessly exploiting people, and people uncritically accepting the exploitation. Then, one day, the truth is revealed, but it’s too late.
