alrayyes··on Ask HN: Can Salesforce be a long term career?
Disclaimer: I have never used Salesforce and at best have a superficial understanding of what it does.

That depends. The question you want to ask yourself is, do you want to spend the rest of your career learning to use one limited toolbox or do you want to make your own tools?

If you're bored (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong here), you're just replacing one set of Legos you piece together with another, except this new set is much more specialized and limited.

Personally (although I have to give the COO cred for replying to this post personally) I wouldn't want to tie my horse to this one pole. You're basically a puppet to Salesforce whims. If they decide to become super evil, your career is now Madvillianry.

alrayyes··on As internet forums die off, finding community can be harder than ever
Yes, i'm not a fan of JavaScript bloat either. But what would your alternative be? As of now, Discourse is the best alternative we've got.
alrayyes··on As internet forums die off, finding community can be harder than ever
If only. Too many people sadly go for the path of least resistance, which also has a plus side. People on forums are probably more likely to seek them out because they have their own issues with Facebook/Reddit.

Discourse is pretty popular and easy to use https://www.discourse.org/.

And Slack/Discord are not good examples. You're just setting yourself up for a world of monetized walled garden hurt long term. Matrix however is pretty great.

Linkedin: You’ll find it on my site

Been freelancing since 2008 and in that time worked on a range of big and small projects. International portfolio of clients ranging from government to universities to medium/small businesses. Mostly do backend work (PHP/Symfony), but also frontend when needed (Emberjs, smattering of Vuejs). Also do consulting and setup CI (Wercker/Gitlab CI/Bitbucket pipelines/Jenkins) as well as some devops (Docker/Saltstack).

Like to help clients solve problems and advise them on how to create better workflows/products. Particularly if I can help them think of solutions that would never have occured to them. Not the guy to hire if you're just looking for a yes man without any opinions. Please do contact me if you want something to think with you, and maybe from time to time tell you things you don't want to hear :)

Prominently a backend Symfony developer, but am no stranger to frontend javascript applications, preferably EmberJS. Have some experience in general devops (saltstack) and server administration. Like to build cool stuff, consult, and think with the client to come up with pragmatic solutions they wouldn't have come up with themselves. Also love thinking about commercial aspects: how can we build an mvp that creates value and money. Just don't ask me to design anything, that's a recipe for disaster.

alrayyes··on The Tech Industry Is in Denial, but the Bubble Is About to Burst
It's obviously a bubble. How are people not seeing this? Thanks to the current economic climate investors are literally throwing money at startups with no real business plan or income. Valuations have no correlation with reality, but the best indicator imho is that the people investing now don't really understand the companies/markets they're investing in.

Ignorance + Overvaluation + Greed = Artificial Evaluations. This leads to a vicious cycle which eventually leads to a bubble.

It amazes me that the 20 somethings who work in silicon valley and are supposed to be so smart don't have an iota of common sense and are so blind to the obvious.
