iosguyryan··on Tesla shareholders approved $56B package for Musk while Tesla laid of 10k people
My god that’s such a moronic and sick quote. There are plenty of other companies where you can execute on that philosophy that aren’t consumed by assholism.
iosguyryan··on Show HN: Interviews Chat – Never bomb another job interview with this AI copilot
It is, until you're an adult and they want a tic-tac-toe rendition for a fintech. Ok, sure kid. A more serious fintech had a CoderPad that wouldn't compile a line of Swift; we laughed, switched to Xcode, and enjoyed our time together making actual software related to their SDK. The whole point is to understand how people think... so let them think with the tooling they think with.
iosguyryan··on T: Connect iOS app for insulin pump could kill users, says
Sad and fascinating case of FDA standards for app engineering (e.g., app version validation and feature flags) to avoid this bizarre "register in the online form" situation.

Also an interesting opportunity for Apple to allow potential guards for certain SIG services from DDoSing themselves.

If I could “yes and” this… route setters could benefit from this tool to simulate layouts against a number of body types and mobility.

Can I interest you in a scrape-share with Claude?
iosguyryan··on Ask HN: Why are resume gaps frowned upon?
I had a baby, but in reviewing its resume realized it had a 9 month gap of doing nothing. I asked that recruiter what policy was, realized my mistake for bringing him onto the team, and fired jr the next day. Strangely morale plummeted.
iosguyryan··on The City of Seattle accidentally gave me 32M emails for $40 (2018)
Running out of funding for duplicative small ideas.
iosguyryan··on Ask HN: Suggestions for working effectively with junior devs?
It's rare a good architect is also a good (and willing) people manager. Organizations and teams profit most when separating those roles, unless you happen upon an individual who does both well. Separating mentorship and design from management has a huge cultural advantage: people who want to make more money don't have to always seek more political power, they can focus on technical skillsets that will make the organization wealthier and more fun to work at.
