Hi, I'm a software engineer with 4YOE a bit of time at FAANG and significant time working with early stage companies (predominantly in Fintech). I primarily work on back-end code but have recently started focusing on the JS ecosystem, specifically typescript - a majority of the past two years have been equally split between elixir and golang. At this point, I'm only open to positions offering $140k USD or greater comp - Also, if your company has an office in the NYC metro area or Austin area I'm more than ready to work in office!

Turn it into compost or leave a bucket of grounds outside long enough and you'll end up with a hearty colony of black soldier fly larvae that will consume up to 5lbs of grounds and organic matter per day.

BSF are fascinating, they prevent deadly pathogens reduce the volume of organic waste quickly and actually produce insect frass more nutrient dense than worm castings. Amazing little creatures!

Andrei Jikh is on track to a similar amount but by selling poor financial advice haha.

Yes, in 2022 we have reached a point where the low-bar for being a youtube "financial influencer" is literally lacking a college degree but having experience as a magician.

sigil_my_ev commented on Ask HN: Does targeted advertising work at all?    · Posted by u/jpm_sd
sigil_my_ev · 4 years ago
I think what's hard to deduce with advertising, especially for small projects or people who don't have much experience is the activation energy needed to see any results from what seem like relatively large ad spends.

To be clear, I suck at this. I've attempted to buy instagram / facebook ads and had little luck. For FaceBook ads you basically have to spend around $6k before the algorithm even starts to care about what you're doing. This is essentially because it has to first serve enough ads to figure out if people are actually clicking before actually targeting the demographic you set.

That said, as much as I hate it, I have no clue how to do social media marketing (TikTok or otherwise) and it's astonishing how much energy and time this takes. I used to joke that it'd be a better use of my time to find a college girl who likes TikTok and has a stimulant prescription to run social media for my bad side-project. (this is a joke)

However, targeted ads definitely work. I still get ads on instagram for the rapid-test clinic that just opened up across the street from my apartment. I can literally see the clinic from my window.
