I'd say first try for yourself instead. I have, for over a decade, and while it's pretty slow and has some annoyances: it's not quite bad enough to hate for me, the alternatives aren't that much better and mostly have other annoyances, and it can get the job done.

Jira is much better than a lot of similar products and people in this post seem to think that their dislike of their job is caused by their tools and not crappy PM process.

> If I stick a USB cable between my phone and Linux laptop, I can see the Android files on my laptop. I can open them, move them around, etc. On a Mac I need to install some shonky 3rd party software which rarely works.

You didn’t used to have to do that in macOS? I remember plugging in my android phone and it mounting my memory card. Is OP referring to accessing something else?

> Mount an SSH or NFS drive

> In Ubuntu, I get a nice little GUI for picking network shares. Impossible on Mac.

I’m a little curious what the difference is between macOS and Linux here.

There’s definitely a lot of legitimate points here and a few questions on others.

They're referring to Android File Transfer, which I agree is a shoddy piece of third party software.

Can you elaborate on "contracting through recruiters"? Did you respond to recruiters who were reaching out to you with full-time positions and say "no thanks, but what about a contract instead?" If so, do you have any particular strategies for getting to a "yes" with that approach?

Or did you mean that you reached out to recruiters and worked out a finder's fee arrangement if they brought you contracts? If so, how did you find recruiters to work with who weren't already engaged with clients and might therefore have a conflict of interest?

I live in Australia so it might be a bit different in your country. The work started for me as shorter term contracts e.g. a recruiter would say "I'm looking for someone on a 6 month react JS project". I would provide them with a day rate and go work for the client as a standard employee. Overtime this has led to me meeting a lot of people, getting a lot of experience and building a client roster of my own.

I started doing a lot of contracting through recruiters which could be anywhere from a few days work to 6-12 month longer contracts. This allowed me to meet a lot of different people in my industry/city and build a reputation as someone reliable. After that's done then it's a matter of growing those relationships and once the recruiter lock-in period ends you can start to approach them directly and offer your services. This can be either independent if you want or it could be with a team.

The most important thing in contracting is being reliable and showing up. So many contractors just don't show for work or leave before the signed end date so if you avoid that you're already ahead of the pack.

Relevant plug for Lichess mobile app (I am not affiliated). It's a free chess app that allows for rated play against opponents. Tens of thousands of concurrent games. No ads or payments (I don't remember if I paid, but I would be happy to support). No bells, no whistles, just chess.

I have a pseudo addictive personality and mobile phone games P2W have gotten me to shell out more than I'd care to admit. I've stopped playing all such mobile games and my "nicotine gum" game was getting back to my roots (elementary school chess team): mobile chess from Lichess.

You wouldn't have paid for Lichess but you can donate to keep the site alive (and get some neat wings). You can also view their costs over at https://lichess.org/costs

I do. And I'd be surprised if I'm the only one.

My favourite part is that I don't need to care or think about it once I'm done. I can have a nice little puzzle to start the day and then move on.

>Blockchains are designed to be a network of peers, but not designed such that it’s really possible for your mobile device or your browser to be one of those peers. [...] With the shift to mobile, we now live firmly in a world of clients and servers – with the former completely unable to act as the latter

I've got a dumb question: Why can't the phone or browser act as a node? Are the computational requirements too expensive?

Haydos585x2 · 4 years ago

My understanding is that it's because the entire blockchain would need to be stored on the device which from even a data perspective is too much for a phone. The processing of data on the chain will also be too computationally difficult/expensive for the phone. You would either run out of battery immediately or the phone would crash.

Decent analysis and I agree with all the points. I think if chess.com didn't have the streamer network behind it and Gotham/Hikaru etc moved to lichess that people would entirely forget about chess.com.

Going on a tangent, one thing that surprises me is how much software has failed to take the place of humans as teachers.

I feel like the creator economy is going to be a rather short-lived event.

I don't imagine AI overlords will be appearing in the next century, but I do imagine primitive brains capable of simple tasks will appear and with it, replace whole swaths of the economy, including teaching positions.

Haydos585x2 · 4 years ago

I'm sure we have different definitions but I think software is taking the place of traditional teachers. You no longer need to have a teacher learn content then run a short course at an adult education centre, some big name teacher can record their content once and distribute it across the internet forever.

It's not the same as AI producing content but people like people so I'm not surprised by that.
