How did u grow the twitter followers at the start?

My experience: just try to land a programmer job first, even if the company/job looks shitty.

I only had an Economics degree with no formal IT education and now I had a software dev job.

Like you, I was self-taught and only had built some personal projects, but it was enough to land me my first IT job in a shitty startup. And then you can have easier time finding other software dev roles.

Haha I am a local Hong Konger. My father was born in Macau so I have a portugal passport.

Basically I just want to go somewhere to start fresh... not really career prospect/salary motivated.

London looks a good option to me because its english-speaking, I have relatives living there, I can work there visa-free (now its complicated due to brexit), and I love english football haha.

Hi guys, can I also ask in general is it hard to find a programming job in London now?

My Background: a javascript (node/react) dev with 2 yrs of exp, a EU(portugal) passport holder living in Hong Kong

I have to admit it's not obvious to me at first. Especially for the second ad, you need to have good knowledge of Chinese literature to know the story behind the poem.

But once I read the explanation it became quite clear since there isn't really other ways to interpret it.

Actually, HK independence is deliberately mentioned a lot in Weibo.

They want to paint the protesters as pro-HK independence but in fact this is not one of our five demands.

And of course they block all the stuffs that make the HK gov and police look bad.

As a HKer, I think it is likely to be deliberate.

A lot of big corporations/wealthy people had ads on HK newspaper front page explicitly condemning the protesters. Li Ka Shing could have done the same but he didn't.

It is indeed a problem. I am still thinking how to make these two pages work together.. maybe merge the first page into the color picker in second page.

Thanks for your feedback!

Didn't think about that haha. Will add a MIT license later. Thanks!

It's really a good point. The graphic now can't really reflects how well do the colors go together.

Apart from graphics, I am thinking maybe adding some sample UI/charts too...

Thanks for your feedback!

Actually at the beginning I was thinking whether to make a webapp or a chrome extension...

A chrome extension is more suitable as a dev tool while a webapp is more easily sharable...

Thanks for your suggestion!

Haha no. It just reflects that I am from HK. Anyway, please support HK:)

Yes. I also used a react library called Pose: https://popmotion.io/pose/

Do you have any argument against this "stupid thought"?

There are champions league games tonight - best time to check it out:)

Hi guys,

I tried quite a few of app icon generation services but wasn't satisfied - incomplete icon set, tedious steps...

I am pretty sure there are already some services that do the job perfectly but I just couldn't find them. That's why I made this site.

Any feedback is welcome!

Made a dark web chat story app in react native.

Currently iOS only: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tormento/id1291133449

Do you recommend people to use redux for small scale project for global states? I for example use redux for states like isUserLoggedIn or userName/userId, and not much else. If not what are the alternatives apart from simply passing the state down the component tree? Thanks.

For me the main problem is that there is no bill capping in AWS - if the bill exceeds, say, $100, just shut down all my services no matter what. As a poor hobbyist dev I just cannot bear the risk of an unexpected high bill, although the chance of that is very slim.

I love Sublime. Tried Atom, but too slow on my 2012 Macbook Air.

One question: How is sublime sustainable economically? I mean alternatives like Atom is free & open source, supported by a big company. With a infinite free trial model, how can sublime survive?

Oh my god, the asciiflow.com is great. Thanks for sharing.

great app! any plan to open source it?

I understand the frustration with AMP from a developer's perspective (SEO, stealing traffic..etc). But as a user I tend to click links with a thunder bolt icon(AMP/Instant article) because they are just faster. I don't really recall any bad experience.

"users expect more performance by going more native and deeper integration with the OSes" "the memory consumption it eats up" Most users are not programmers. I doubt they can tell whether slack/spotify are native apps or not.

This is what I think when I first saw the title. Is DDG profit making?

Surprised to see so many people hate AMP. I understand why developer/publisher may hate AMP because of development effort/stealing content... But as a reader I am inclined to click the link with the lightening bolt icon and I don't recall to see many broken page.

Thx, but I am specifically looking for some relatively large scale production projects.

Concept cannot be protected anyway. Look at instagram stealing snapchat stories.

Correct. The issue now is not about the accounts and frauds.

Btw, I believe there is a miscommunication between them as I don't think going to the press behind his back is in Apple's best interest.
