They pop up every now and then. Wouldn't say it's a common thing. Fwiw the overlap between a random tech meetup and HN users is probably pretty high. I've gone to a few in SF from meetup.com
It was a good time for sure. I worked there 7.5 years before leaving. Still keep in contact with a lot of people from that job. On the first work day of the month there are hiring threads on HN if you end up wanting to check those out
I believe it's US remote only. It can't hurt to apply though. The recruiting team may have other roles that are more globally available that they can point you to.
Sorry to hear that. If it's for the role in my link or another product eng role let me know and I can have someone look in to it for you. If not the recruiter you're talking to is likely your best bet.
Awesome to hear you're interested! You can apply directly through the website there with your resume and someone from our recruiting team will reach out if there is a fit

I started working on a project to solve this exact issue https://github.com/mburst/protomolecule. I haven't spent too much time building out other frameworks, but the first framework is React + Express which fits what you're looking for
It's times like these when I'm appreciative of the simplicity of the HN tech stack. Was talking to some people on discord when it went down and then noticed some other websites were down. Came right to HN to see 5 different threads about this. Will be curious to see what the cause of the issue turns out to be
I really enjoy my pbt key caps. Programmers spend all day at the keyboard and the oils from their fingers wear down the key caps and make their keyboards look terrible. PBT feels better and takes longer to break down. You can get a good set for $30. Just make sure the key caps on their keyboards come off.
Logitech also makes some nice wireless mice around $100 that are pretty ergonomic and comfortable to use. Anything to help prevent carpel tunnel is nice.
A lot of programmers really love the jetbrains tool suite, but that's more subscription based.
A lot of free database viewer tools pale in comparison to their paid counterparts. So something in that arena could be nice
I thought the same thing, but I found it hard to find views of inside of the apartments I sampled from the article. A lot of the apartment websites just talked about the amenities. Some had a floor plan, but no pictures of what the inside actually looked like. For a $7mil+ condo I was expecting a little more, but I'm also not really the target audience of those condos either
This reminds me of the Internet Explorer antitrust issue. Eventually Microsoft had to give users a choice on start up. Not sure if it directly led to better browsers or not, but it certainly didn't hurt. I could see the outcome being the same here where users will get to choose which store(s) they want on their device during setup rather than defaulting to the play or apple store
I've been running Flux https://justgetflux.com/ for over a decade now. Windows has something similar built in, but it's not as good as Flux in my experience. Flux has the ability to slower change the hue of your screen over time and gives you great control over it at every level. It also lets you set a notif for when you want to get up so when it alerts me that I'm 8.5 hours away from needing to wake up I know I need to start winding down
So cool to see all the different free services out there for getting in to web dev. I remember having to do graphic design work growing up to afford a shared hosting plan on my mom's credit card. Times have definitely changed :D
Lately I've been enjoying KubeSail's (https://kubesail.com/) free tier for playing around with some SSR things. A lot of the lambda like services don't do great with doing realtime stuff since they're just meant to run one piece of code then die a few seconds later
Yea my first programming job was translating word docs to accessible html for universities. The jobs around section 508 compliance seem mainly government related
I would recommend trying to study up on Section 508 compliance https://www.hhs.gov/web/section-508/index.html. It's a set of rules that all government orgs in the US must follow for making sure their content is accessible. If you do end up becoming visually impaired you'll end up with a unique perspective on building accessible websites.
