jzig··on React chaos in mid and large web apps: Any different experiences?

jzig··on Features I wish PostgreSQL had as a developer
I find this interesting! Is there anything similar in the open source world? I have built projects with Supabase in the past and one of my gripes about it is that it becomes obnoxious to track what happens to the schema over time in version control with dozens of migration files. For example, you have no idea what the current state of a table or trigger is because there might be several updates that occured over four dozen migration files and you may not even be sure which files those changes are in. You have to just look at the database directly rather than the code.

jzig··on Gumroad no longer allows most NSFW art, leaving its adult creators panicked

Hi Gabe, I used to work with you when you interned at APL on BSP! I'm glad to see you are doing great things and wish you the best of luck. This is an interesting product that I think has a lot of promise as a "pensieve" a la Harry Potter. Let me know when you start hiring :)
jzig··on How to Replace Your CPAP in Only 666 Days
Buying/Selling medical devices is illegal so you won’t find any reliable website or marketplace. You can sometimes find people trying to get rid of one (for free or for sale) on /r/cpap and /r/cpap_swap

Most of the time you have go through a sleep study to get one. I got very lucky during the pandemic and my allergist ordered one (no sleep study) after explaining that I was waiting months for a sleep study and having suicidal ideation from weeks of waking up every ~15min.

jzig··on How to Replace Your CPAP in Only 666 Days
Not at all. You can figure out how to configure one yourself with a few hours reading on /r/CPAP or watching YouTube. Source: myself after trying to acquire one and get it configured for months through a similar bureaucratic nightmare as the article.

jzig··on What SWE job hunting is like right now
St. Louis is a wasteland if you’re looking for more modern software jobs. And the employers haven’t learned their lesson. You can though, by looking for remote work.
