I build, host, manage custom software for mid sized businesses.
Is this more of a consultancy?
Could you please share a bit more on your business and how you got started?
Does Canada fall within REMOTE?
LMAO
congrats!
congrats! 1. are your projects open source? 2. have you written about your experience working on these projects somewhere e.g. a blog post?
Ah I did notice you encrypt/hide pro features. Still curious to hear your thoughts!
How do you decide on whether you should open source an app? What impact do you think this has on your revenue/profits/clone-ability?
thanks for sharing!
Just wanted to say this is amazing!
Could I please email you my info?
Does Datadog hire remotely in Canada?
Do you hire remotely in Canada?
I recommend you watch some videos of people using an IDE/Emacs or some text editor with sufficient support like VSCode to write Lisp code interactively. How they build a program while it is running. But also doing mechanical things like navigation and structural editing.
Could you please provide a link to some example videos you recommend? Greatly appreciated!
It's tough to predict the future, especially since technologies change all the time.
But if you master the fundamentals of a particular area that interests you, you might be in a better position to respond to whatever is hot/upcoming at the time.
In Web there's always a hot new thing in frameworks/tools but the underlying tech/fundamentals have remained the same e.g. HTML, CSS, the DOM, etc.
thanks!
yes!
great example!
Any implementation detail you could please share?

finally got started
That's awesome! I'm a huge fan of remote work myself. But there are pros/cons to everything. Are there any elements of in-office work that you wish were possible in a remote setting?
Did your company adapt to remote work with in-office culture?
What do you think could help make it easier to reduce/eliminate meetings in a remote environment?
It's always fun to conceptualize the brain as a computer and reason by analogy (iirc it was a steam engine back in the day). I'm excited to see the next advancement the brain gets compared to.
Taking a quick glance at this comment again. I do plan on writing a few tactics to reduce confusion after I read (a programmer's brain) a bit more and can think more on it.
Is it possible to accomplish the latter without the former?
A handy thing to keep in mind during code reviews
An interesting topic for sure. In terms of mastery / skill building, I'd figure those round trips are crucial for the novice and the master. It's just that the master has enough wisdom / experience in the back pocket to know which paths to branch and bound.
