I am a full-stack engineer (first eight years in front-end and the last two years in full-stack). I've lived in Bay area for half of my life and have worked at startups as well as big tech.
Stability AI, creators of Stable Diffusion models release their products under own Stability AI Community License which is not "free" like MIT license. You are not allowed to modify the weights in certain ways.
This package is basically running the model (inference) and maybe fine tuning it using existing AI weights. A great way to learn but still could run into same licensing issue.
As another robot hobbyist, I wish there were more detailed documentation on how things work. So many projects online just show a working demo—usually on YouTube—and it's impossible to decipher what’s actually happening, or if the robot is simply following some predefined movements.
Experience: 10+ years with TypeScript and JavaScript
Current Role: Staff Software Engineer at a large U.S.-based company
What I’m best at:
- Architecting large-scale applications and optimizing for performance
- Automation — at my last two companies, the internal tools I built saved over 1,000 developer hours
I’ve tried building a web app with LLMs before. Two of them went in circles—I'd ask them to fix an infinite loop, they’d remove the code for a feature; I’d ask them to add the feature back, they’d bring back the infinite loop, and so on. The third one kept losing context—after just 2–3 messages, it would rebuild the whole thing differently.
They’ll probably get better, but for now I can safely say I’ve spent more time building and tweaking prompts than getting helpful results.
The TypeScript compiler is only needed during development, the compiled JavaScript code contains no TypeScript-specific logic. Zod’s validation is entirely JavaScript-based, relying on simple checks (e.g., typeof, regexes, comparisons).
Also, the 2kb bundle just for the zod/v4-mini package, the full zod/v4 package is quite large.
The main disadvantages are that physical dividers add weight and require maintenance. Also, they reduce flexibility, preventing the ability to tetris more bags into a bin.
Remote: Remote, Hybrid, On-site
Willing to relocate: Not outside of Canada (until next year).
Technologies: Typescript, React, Node.js, Rabbitmq, cockroachdb, kafka, some llms (in-house) etc.
