That's fine though - As long as they're publishing the actual range that they like realistically pay someone, there's literally nothing wrong with that.

I got this once. I was equivocating, and then the guy was like, well, you're gonna give us your P60 when you join anyway, so you might as well tell me.

I was like, okay, fair enough.

I played it completely wrong though. I should have just reframed it and said, well, I paid this, but you're not competing against my current employer, you're competing against Meta, who I'm also interviewing with this week.

I'm pretty awful at watching WWDC videos. Usually I bookmark about 70 and I only end up watching about three or four.

This is a little resource I created for myself to help decide which videos to spend time on, and to help me recall key points.

It always sends me to sleep when IP enthusiasts lament the lack of adoption for IPv6.

It's obvious to anyone that looks at the two formats that any kind of hacky workaround like NAT gateways will be preferable indefinitely to actually adopting the monstrosity that is IPv6.

Frankly, in the modern day, basically all of the solutions are good until you're talking about very strict performance requirements.

I don't know enough about Open Swift UI to answer. Are they gone? With Skip Tools, anything is possible, probably.

There's always rough edges, but I would say that shared core platform code can usually work pretty well and save time once you got through the overhead of setup.

Sick!

Thanks for sharing! :)

Lol my life is an autism simulator

Loved this, thanks!

Lol, I need to get better at shaders

> Turns out there is an answer: the garter snakes sequester the tetrodotoxin, storing it in their livers. This makes them toxic to their own predators.

Second-order effects are so cool

Figured today was an appropriate day to repost! (GAAD)

Yeah it turns out those are hard to go to market with, who would have thought

Only way it can work is if you can bootstrap something hyperlocal to start with (think Uber in San Fran)

Thank you :)

I like to think we are the only 2 people who noticed :D

I find it's all about hitching your wagon to the right horses

Thank you :D

Yep this is exactly my summary at the end! I'm glad I sat on this story a few years to let it develop and let the positive career consequences play out.

Thank you for reading :)

Hey man, don't knock 2020/2021 ZIRP era projects

Don't you remember before inflation when we were able to focus on climate change!

But you totally got us there, the startup failed because we were a vitamin (and because our on-the-fence seed round was scuppered by Putin cooling some feet)

I certainly should have spotted this as soon as they offered me a contract that was a clumsily-reworded version of the contract for the awful overseas contractors

Yeah, the only real regret is I could have got this experience more quickly with less pain and time not spent with my wife

Edit: just realised that made it sound like she died. She’s fine! We just had baby #2! But we could have spent lockdown making bread and playing RuneScape instead of me grinding

Yeah honestly I’m not sure what someone is meant to take out of this. The experience is really useful. But if me and Gus worked this out after 3 months, we could have cofounded our own thing!

Absolutely - I mention this at the end. This experience was a springboard into my first “real” startup, and I’ve been working my way up fast since then!

“This will be a great differentiator when looking for funding!”

Hahah it was probably just about worth it. Wouldn't if I had kids or it wasn't mostly in COVID time

I hope @paulg asks me to give this talk at demo day

I can make it funnier!
