That's probably why in the US nobody put their cart back. They would do it if they had to get their coin back. Again, to fight laziness, go for the wallet!

Nice to see it being mentioned again. I have been using it for a few weeks no and it definitely helps in reducing the amount of time I spent on HN. The UX is also really nice, especially the ability to collapse comments much faster than regular HN. Good job!

Great job! It really fits the way I consume HN which is just once per day usually.

I like the outline.com article style, and also discovered outline.com in the process.

I am not a huge fan of the layout for the comments, it feels a bit too big for me and a bit hard to follow along, as it switches between authors and so on, but that might just be a personal preference.

You should probably consider making it open-source as it is definitely the type of project I would like to contribute to!

Thank you for building this!

Isn't it only if no other location to work from is available to you as an employee?

It might just be me but enabling the option and clicking and the recording button just attempt to reload the page and I get a blank page. Not sure what is supposed to happen.

Is using react-native for Web better than having react & react-native for your UI and nicely separated business logic that is reusable for both? If you use react native for Web, does it mean your UI will look exactly the same whether it is on the web or mobile?

Advice: Skip straight to the situation paragraph as anything before that isn't about the DocuSign integration, not sure what the first section brings to the whole article.

I did! And signed up for hnreplies. Thanks!

I wish HN would notify me of answers for my comment. Yes, I totally share that mindset with you. I actually use pretty much the same thing when helping people starting their programming journey.

'There is so many things to learn I started with Python but there is this and this and that'

A language is just a language, the principles and your ability to translate problems to code is what is making you a programmer.

This is interesting. The whole having to specialize thing has been scaring me a bit lately as I really do like the fact I can be jumping back and forth between the paths when working. I have been told that I should find something to specialize in as most of the companies require you to be specialized and there is no place for generalists anymore, which sounds weird to me. So are you a specialist in anything? It seems you have close to a 20-years career so I was either lied/misguided or you have expertise in one of those domains?

I discovered an interest in DevOps recently, so I worked on a few side projects using AWS. When it comes to languages or frameworks:

  - nodejs (express) coupled with ECS for deployments
  - vuejs for a small project
  - a tiny bit of Go

  - great tooling
  - easy to setup
  - close enough to react when it comes to principles
  - but a bit too verbose for my taste.

Being thorough and highly detailed is definitely something that I praise with the colleagues I have doing it well. Someone taking time to write good PRs and maintaining documentation is definitely more useful in my book that a fast coder. Good documentation reduces the bus factor by a lot, and make someone a team player in my opinion.

2. "Every senior dev I hire must have done one of two things: either ran their own business or was a one-person shop. That's how I know that they know how to do whatever it takes to get software built and deployed."

Were you getting a lot of new senior hires? That sounds hard to achieve. I agree those people would probably be great, but also really really hard to find.

I was going to start working on this, but yeah the issue is that the website would still act as a middleman to send the money around. There are a few problems with this:

- some use paypal, some use patreon, some use neither so where do you send the money

- even if it was either paypal or patreon, they would take their cut which is unfair.

- even if organizations/foundations would give their bank account info, you could probably use stripe to send the money to the right place, but not sure.

I would be happy to discuss about this by email as I think it is an idea that could be further explored.

I think when it is a company you worked for, you might be more likely to do it. You probably still have a bit of attachment to it.

Yes, but I will start earlier. I think I could be in a better place if I would start coding before college instead of getting the hook of it on my last year of studies.

Use your credit card. Transferring funds between your bank account and Coinbase takes forever.

You will know it is not due to ADHD if the first thing they say when you mention them being late in a meeting is 'I have ADHD'. Being late at meetings is one thing that happens to everybody. Being doing other stuff during meetings, stand-ups or what not, in a group setting, while having your legs up on the desk playing with your phone is being a jerk.

Is there a typo in the url you mentioned for themuse.com? it returns 404.

Still working on https://iheartreading.co. Trying to onboard schools to use it but so far cold emailing is not working. Thinking about other way to market it.

It is ok. I still use it from time to time to keep my resume up to date.

I created somehow the same thing as an npm package: dynamic-json-resume. It requires you to just maintain a json file containing all the different sections, and can generate pdf and html with an extra scrollable section. The code is not the prettiest but it is still working: https://github.com/jrm2k6/dynamic-json-resume

Will probably create a Show HN thread as it would definitely be a hit.

Yeah I just bought the domain name a while ago impulsively, still working on it. :D

I started working on iparklikeadumbass.com. The idea is for me to upload pictures of people parking like idiots, blur the license plate and just have it out there. I know I wont make any money of it but it is a good way of preventing road/parking raging.

This wouldn't work for 90% of companies. You cannot do whatever you want in a PCI environment, or a HIPAA compliant environment. It also boils down to your managers, product managers etc.. Do they micromanage? Is your focus shifting all the time because new high priorities tasks are coming your way?

If so, I would never feel confident in doing whatever I want, as I know I wouldn't be able to put 100% of my focus on it, and probably forget something important that could screw a lot of things up.

I would say around 5/6hours a week. Most of it on the weekend. I am building https://iheartreading.co/. I have been working on it for a little bit than a year, with a big break last year (5/6 months without doing anything).

I try to spend maybe 15 min every day checking where I am at, and several hours per weekend, when possible, working on features etc.

Trying to work on it in the evening after my work day is challenging, as I have not a lot of energy/motivation.

I am working on iheartreading.co. I Heart Reading is an easy-to-use platform that allows students to track their reading, submit responses to reading and start a conversation, through comments, with their teacher about a book they are reading. Making reading a habit can be difficult for students. I Heart Reading helps students build regular reading habits by allowing them to add books, update their progress (number of pages read, books finished) and write reviews about books they have enjoyed. All of the responses to reading, reviews and progress the student inputs into the site are accessible to their teacher, making it a simplified and streamlined solution to independent reading. It is targeting K12 school in the US. I am working on getting new schools to use it (I have only two schools right now). It was mainly to help my wife, and to learn React/Redux. I have a lot of ideas on how to make it better. I see it as a private goodreads.com, and I am excited on working on gamification.

Second project I want to work on is an automatic answer generator for /r/cscareerquestions, as most of the questions are duplicated, I think it would be fun to work on a program that would give the most ironic response possible to some of those threads. I would like to work on NLP problems and that would be a good introduction to it.

Note: I am looking for design help for iheartreading.co, I did the best I could but it could be much prettier.

Define non-entry software engineering position? I really don't thing good code is easy to produce, so it is not definitely the easiest in my mind. I think there is a distinction to be made between becoming a good software engineer, and get a job as a software engineer. The first option takes more than 3 months.
