I think you intended this for the "Who wants to be hired" thread :)

Hey there! I'm Joe, a Senior Frontend Engineer looking for remote work. Although I have worked full stack and DevOps roles in my 14 year career career, the UI is my true love and React has been a joy to work with over the past 5 years.

I enjoy friendly and collaborative workplaces. I hope to find a place where I can mentor junior/mid level engineers (I love teaching!). I bring with me both my technical expertise and my humanity.

Hope to hear from you!

PopOS is wonderful. I highly recommend.

What?

I didn't ignore anything. The product is the output. Code is not the output. Your code is as much the output as communication is. Users don't care if you spent your time coding or in a meeting. They care if the product fulfills their needs. A meeting that stops a terrible redesign contributes as much the output as the heads down programmer who would have implemented it. Now I would hate to be in meetings all day, don't get me wrong. But I disagree that code is the output specifically for a product.

> Meetings are not the desired outcome; deployed, working code is

Maybe if all you want to do is code. I get the sentiment. If you're working on a product, getting input from team members and stopping bad ideas from making their way to the hands of the "don't bother me with meetings, I only want to code" person is important.

Your comment does not negate the claim that it is expensive to be poor.

This comment of yours also creates zero progress, so what's your point? In fact it might be even more "harmful" because it implies we should just be okay with anything because in olden times things were worse.

I implemented something similar in ESLint. I also had it search for comments with "[Don't merge]", etc, so that I could quickly jot down in a code comment a change that needed to be made before the PR was complete. The pipeline would fail if this ESLint rule failed. It works well for me but I understand it may not work well for all.

vor 5 Jahrendiscuss

Agreed. It was pretty crazy for a while.

Assuming you're not a jerk and you don't say jerk things, you wouldn't have said this jerk thing being quoted. So saying you wouldn't have said it doesn't change the meaning of what was said.

Giving this a shot - I love the idea of this. Tabs are just not a great way to stay organized for me. I'm a few minutes in and have a good feeling about it already!

It hasn't been the same remote server for 8 years :) I don't pay for a server like that anymore now that I'm employed full time and one is provided for me.

And I was barely coming out of homelessness at the time. 1500 doesn't just pop out of nowhere.

You did just remind me of the time when I was contracting for that company, they flew me out to California but I didn't have enough money on my card to cover the incidentals fee at the hotel they booked for me. Thankfully an employee came through for me. That was pretty embarrassing.

I've never been one to go 8 hours straight. The refresher pays off in the long run. Not to say my way of working is any better, but the things get done and I'm more satisfied with my work life balance.

And with us soon going back to home schooling (thanks delta...) children happily playing outside is much less distracting than pent up children yelling inside. And mama can't do it all.

I don't know what you mean by this. I've often worked in the park so I can be around my kids playing and get some more glimpses of them growing up than I otherwise would in an office. Plenty of commits have been made at a picnic table.

vor 5 Jahrendiscuss

Hah! Thankfully that doesn't happen too often. Worst thing that happens is I forget to turn off my Hotspot when I get home and drop into a Zoom meeting on it and use all my 4g data on accident.

This mirrors my experience. It is nice not really having to care what type of machine I am given by my employer since my environment is going to feel exactly the same regardless.

And who knows maybe since you have your server running headless it is effectively on par with your laptops. These days most of my cpu cycles on my laptop are spent on Slack or Chrome!

vor 5 Jahrendiscuss

Exactly this. I used a combination of mosh, byobu, gnu screen, and vim. These days I use vscodes remote development setup more often.

vor 5 Jahrendiscuss

I've developed on a remote server for about 8 years now. It started when I was a contractor and my machine was simply too slow to run the project I was assigned. I did not have the money for a new laptop, but I could afford the ~55/month for a dedicated server with 32GB and 4cores. I have worked that way ever since. I've been fortunate enough to work at companies that run their own VM infrastructure which allow me to work this way. And as someone who likes to work in different places, like the park, being able to download docker images while on a Hotspot and it not go through my data plan is amazing.

That sounds awesome. I haven't produced content in so long because I'm super particular about technical explanations and have to start over if I don't get it exactly right.
