I can't help but feeling very envious (in a nice way) of your situation with coworkers. It seems like when you had an issue, you had someone 10 steps ahead of you willing to help out, give advice, lend a part etc.

This project seemed to go as well as my side projects, but when I run into a hiccup, I wait a month for a part on AliExpress, or wander around at Home Depot looking for something that I don't know what it is yet.

Kudos to you for surrounding yourself with great people. Thanks for the write up.

I wouldn't call it "great". It crashed in 2 seconds (index out of bounds) on my Mac from going to the Calendar page and hitting j twice.

Just for comparison, I've had a couple crashes in about a year of daily use. Definitely less than IntelliJ or Chrome has crashed, but more than vim.

You likely dodged a bullet by getting rejected by FE International. I went through a couple of acquisition processes with them. Almost every person I dealt with there was dishonest and unprofessional.

Seem like an odd take. In the article he does say that he still uses it as a daily driver. He can't hate it that much.

Isn’t that really just harassment and intimidation?

kentt · 2 years ago

Totally depends. It's easy to imagine a situation where responding to a noise complaint would ideally finish with a warning.

If I understand correctly, this is a vulnerability in self-hosted Bitwarden only. Is that correct?

Missing my favourite apple: Aurora. This is the best apple by far. Last long, taste is amazing (though maybe a bit too sweet after a while). I can't rarely find them. Does anyone know how to track down where apples are grown?

Sometimes I wonder whether I should go and try to buy a micro SaaS business (I am an SWE) that's already out there just for the sake of trying to learn the ropes on how to do a business.

Convince me this is a bad idea.

kentt · 4 years ago

I think it's a great idea. I'm a SWE and have purchased three now. It seems way easier to run 3 micro businesses than it was to deal with everything that a typical job entails. I think the risk is quite low for most SaaS products.

When I worked in a startup, just feeding the SRED consultant with info ended up eating hours and hours of time. The intent of the credit is for real foundational engineering research but the reality seems to be is that it ends up getting eaten by companies that are just applying existing tech in mostly non-novel ways, and consultants get to try to spin it otherwise.

It needs to be replaced.

kentt · 5 years ago

Yes. Each company I worked for has spent many man hours and consulting wages on SRED. The claims were 100% BS.

Is this mostly for using w/o i3? I feel like I'm not missing much by using regular terminal windows and letting i3 manage those windows, but I'd love to find out I'm missing something awesome.
