Most of the guidance is very outdated. It's likely to confuse more than clarify unless you've taken the time to study modern resources. I prefer Bryan Garner's work, like his usage guides.
Sure, coffee roaster here. It's false that allowing beans to degas c02 preserves them indefinitely as the parent comment seems to imply. There is however about a 10-hour window after roasting where degassing of c02 is so vigorous it impedes oxidation. Freezing vacuum sealed coffee, both green and roasted beans, will preserve it almost perfectly for years because freezing decreases oxidation rates by more than 90% and slows the movement of volatiles.[0] Enough people have documented and tested this and it's very common for Cup of Excellence winning and other notable coffees to be stored for extended periods of time this way. There are even cafes with reserves of such coffee, you can walk in and they'll pull winners from years ago for you to try. Scott Rao documents the research and resulting evidence of why it's beneficial to freeze coffee in his book The Coffee Roaster's Companion.[1] It's just not economical at scale, or necessary. Green coffee is "fresh" for about 9 months on average, most roasters go through specific lots of coffee well before that window closes. The sad reality is that most roasted coffee is well past its peak by the time it reaches the consumer.
You can conduct an at-home experiment yourself by finding a local roaster, asking when their roast days are and if you can get some coffee from that batch before it's allowed to rest. Seal and freeze a portion while keeping the rest in a normal valve-release bag and compare after a week or two.
I built https://www.stackpair.com because I was over reading job listings to get an idea of what I'd be working with. It puts as much info as possible up front about the languages, stack, and tools used in the position. The search makes finding relevant positions easy, the query "go remote sf" returns what you'd expect, for instance. I also do a lot to feature quality opportunities, which traditional job boards can struggle with.
For what it's worth, the site aside from the trends page is mobile friendly. The trends pages are something I thought would be cool to throw together with the data I have on the topic and admittedly haven't spent enough time trying to make sure it works everywhere.
Some fluctuations I noticed when comparing the trends from last month and now:
- Go took a dip in demand, down from the 6th most mentioned language in listings to 8th.
When looking at trends from all 2017 reports:
- The top languages steadily in demand this year have been: Python, JavaScript, Java, Ruby, SQL, CSS, HTML, Go, C, and C++
- The top four application frameworks have fairly steadily been: Rails, Spring, Flask, and Django
- React is the top choice when it comes to UI libraries/frameworks. Angular doesn't seem to be gaining on it, and mentions of jQuery have been steadily declining.
- The top three databases/stores have steadily been PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Redis
I started https://www.latitude.work with the goal of featuring quality opportunities for other software engineers in a way that puts the information up front that's important to us. I stayed away from only having paid listings since that seems like a race to the bottom and am focusing on having a great experience for engineers. Would love any feedback on it.
Being an extrovert or an introvert has nothing to do with shyness. You can certainly be introverted and not very shy. Bill Gates is a great example of that.
Thank you for clarifying. I thought for a second it could have been a grammatical nitpick but discounted that since this thread is re: an Antirez post. I personally would be very sad if his writing style became more forced and began to feel like excerpts from The Elements of Style.
Remote: Yes, and I have extensive experience working remotely.
Willing to relocate: Yes
Technologies: Go, Redis, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, Docker, and Linux.
