I just go for something that works... I don't really care that much about specs. Macs seem to be the least stress causing laptops

navd commented on Ask HN: Where Are the Easy Jobs?    · Posted by u/giantg2

There is no such thing as easy jobs anymore because the job of your boss is make your life miserable and get you bored and frustrated until you break. Once you are broken, your boss will fire you and hire another person to replace you as if you were a piece of disposable junk.

Welcome to modern capitalism.

Does experience matter in technology that much?
navd · 4 years ago
Yes but from the frame that the amount of diff problems you experience matters. Not your 10 years of experience solving 1 set of problems

How? Your Twitter profile picture is an image. What stops me from saving your profile and setting mine to the same thing?

Are you suggesting Twitter validates that a Twitter account owns an NFT and shows a check/badge/whatever? I also don't think that works. Whatever rare NFT you have I can go make a visually identical NFT for <minimum cost of an NFT> and confirm that I own that NFT.

I often think that I must be missing something about NFTs because they seem breathtakingly stupid. But, I've yet to find out what I don't understand about them.

Huh? You would have to authenticate with Twitter using your crypto wallet to prove you own the wallet associated with the NFT. Twitter would know the contract addresses of the original NFT so even if you created your own smart contract with identical images it wouldn't be the original...

Go out of your way to show your work and progress regularly, just don't stay heads down all the time. Keep in constant communication with whoever would be interested in seeing it... bosses... users... etc

This was a nice read, glad everything has worked out for Flavio. Part of why this is possible is that there is a lot more leverage available for those that are solo nowadays. It's an exciting time for sure
