More lies. No surprise there.

chovyfu··on Sapper is dead What's next in Svelte?
I'm glad svelte 3 is adding the basic features of sapper. Although sapper was great, it will be even simpler to use without it.

The lack of a good router and SSR was what sapper added to svelte.

chovyfu··on Spotify Removes Joe Rogan Episode Featuring Alex Jones
I listened to it last night while going to bed. Alex Jones has a lot of insightful info into the New World Order. Its just his infowars platform went full ret-rd on trump's campaign.

The thing is about this Rogan episode was Joe was really pushing him to cite his claims. Nobody ever does that on InfoWars. Don't know why they deleted it.

chovyfu··on Study helps explain why motivation to learn declines with age
I'm 46 and started building web sites in 1995.

I think as I grow older I want to specialize rather than chase the latest new shiny technology.

That doesn't mean I don't want to learn. It means I want to learn to be better at what I already know.

chovyfu··on Ask HN: Jack-of-all-trades of HN, how do you approach job search?
I'm having a hard time as well. Frontend engineer who hates react. i've been unemployed for 6 months. I've applied to QA jobs, Technical PM jobs...i gotta get out of this programming racket at 46. nobody hiring an old fuddy duddy like me. Hell I even see job postings that say "co-founder/CTO, equity only. Must be early 20s"
chovyfu··on Ask HN: I need help finding a job that fits my current mental situation
I was in your shoes about 2.5 years ago. I quit my highpaying job and its been fun for awhile, but since the pandemic hit I'm finding zero work. I keep getting passed over after going through all the hoops of tech interviewing. It's exhausting.

One thing you should talk to your doctor about is temporary leave of absence. I took 3 months off although it wasn't nearly enough it was enough to get my shit straight. I quit shortly after because corporate America is a toxic shithole especially for people like us with mental health issues.

Even if you quit and worked part time, the only real option out there is upwork. Pay is crap and you're competing with India.

I would say find a way to stay where you are until this pandemic nonsense is over.

I recorded a couple of videos documenting my job hunting process. my friend who is a VP at a major HR company told me to take it off my profile because nobody would hire me. I refused. He has shown the video to all his product managers and they are making sweeping changes to their product because of it.
