Thanks for the tip. I've enrolled in an A1 class with Goethe Institute starting in April. In your opinion, how difficult would it be to rent or potentially own a home on a single engineering salary? Looking at prices on https://www.immobilienscout24.de/, it does not seem possible after accounting for taxes. A salary of 60k ends up being about 3.2k net per month. If renting a home takes 2k of that, I may need to reconsider my country of choice.
Could you expand a little? Are you referring to the workaholism some Americans have? Personally, I've always sought out companies that value a healthy work/life balance and am relieved to hear Europeans companies value it so highly.
Aside from being too enthusiastic about work, what other gaps in engineering/work culture exist?
How would you know? I also submitted a deletion request to that airport identity service Clear to avoid missing a flight one time. I received an email "Your request has been received" and nothing else. Is there a way we can validate our information is actually deleted?
Imagine a native desktop app that let you build a UI with very basic elements, à la Visual Basic, and behind each of those elements is an associated AWS CLI command. Such that "aws s3 ls" attached to a list element would render an account's buckets.
The AWS APIs are so expansive, a product like this could offer a complete replacement for the default web console and maybe even charge for it. Does anyone know if such a solution exists? Perhaps some more generic "shell-to-ui" application? If not, I'm interested in building one if anybody would like to contribute.
For your Reddit posts, did you target a subreddit that might have interest in the extension or did you use one meant specifically for extension development/promotion? If the latter, which one?
I'm in the process of adding payments as well and I'm starting things off with Stripe. Specifically, their payment links and subscriptions features. Longer term, I may switch, and am building things in a way that migration will be easy.
Great ideas, thanks. I've had similar success searching for common problems using Google, finding the highest-positioned Reddit result, and leaving a response with a link.
Thanks for the idea of sharing the extension but I'd like to focus any discussion around growth itself.
As for being concerned about a rugpull, I definitely get it. My approach is to keep as much of the product open source as possible and be very transparent around any ownership changes.
True, good documentation is a rare thing. If the hype does hold and the current trajectory of things stays somewhat the same, I think it will be inevitable that the definition of "good documentation" will change. If it were geared towards a machine audience, I wonder if it would increase reliability and reduce hallucination.
I could imagine a hybrid approach as well where there are two versions: one for humans and one for machines. If respected, the crawlers could look for a special <meta> tag of sorts that points them to the machine version.
Adding optional user sign-in to my word replacer browser extension: https://github.com/dan-lovelace/word-replacer-max. This is a precursor to adding generative replacement suggestions based on search terms. Even further, I'd like it to eventually analyze and de-trigger/disarm the copy on websites more broadly without having to define specific words or phrases.
Web Components are fun. I've played around with Lit, which some people have mentioned. Anybody tried Stencil? It looks similar from the outside but wondering how it plays out mid/late-term.
Marketing yourself is more important now than ever. The advent of AI has created a noise problem at the hiring level on both sides: applicants are leveraging tools to generate necessary documents (targeted resumes, cover letters, social profiles), recruiters are using scanning tools to weed out anything that doesn't contain the magical keywords or phrases.
