If they are using my code anywhere I expect to be compensated.
chovybizzass··on Link rot and content drift are endemic to the web
yes. i am down to HN and Reddit. Google calendar and telegram. I don't even know how to find cool stuff online anymore. Google SERPs are all business driven now unless you're research news.

chovybizzass··on Ask HN: What is a good way to build a web application in 2021

chovybizzass··on Ask HN: What ever happened to 'custom' webdev agencies?
I decided to quit my fulltime job a couple of years ago and focus on building custom MVP web applications. We are out there, the problem is you can't find us. Ranking in Google is incredibly difficult compared to 10 years ago. Without large budgets you simply won't be found.

chovybizzass··on Ask HN: What's your “crazy CEO” moment?
Mine was in 1999 dotcom startup when our eccentric CEO (probably a billionaire or close to it) rebranded our domain and climbed up on a ladder and spray painted it on the brick wall in our SF office. Then when we launched we spent a few million on our launch party with Willie brown and the cirque de sole dancers.

Great place to work, free massages, pool table (before anyone had pool tables). We ran out of money 2 years into it building "v2"

chovybizzass··on Ask HN: Software engineer for 20 years what should I do next?
it's rough out there still for contractors. I quit my cush job at age 43, worked a few high paying short-term gigs. It was nice because I could make in 3 months what I normally would make in 6, but then the pandemic hit and it absolutely dried up. After a year of no offers, I finally got a fulltime offer for decent pay. I'm in the same boat. We're too old and too expensive now for web development.

I'm tired of being interviewed by kids who think React is how websites should be built and are half my age.

You were in leadership so I guess that took its toll on you. I'm a principal engineer now and so far I've just been improving the framework (vue) and optimizing performance.

I suspect that they will dump some huge feature on me soon and I'll be back to being a grunt.

I'm actually thinking of going back to school part time to become a financial advisor.
