This is spot on. Your are allowed to feel whatever you feel and so is everybody else

putsjoeon Dragon’s teeth – Stopping tanks in their tracks

Off topic but I find it funny when a site shows a popup to sign up for the newsletter as soon as you get on the site but then has no newsletter sign-up at the end of the article.

putsjoeon MyFitnessPal Barcode Scanner Goes Premium and What to Use Now

I've just signed up and it looks like gold is $50 a year. Maybe they've changed it since you last looked?

putsjoeon WeWork Cofounder Neumann’s New Startup Sounds Like One He Invested in in 2020

I honestly wonder if the tokens is just a play to make this a tech company.

It makes me think of how they had some sort of WeWork OS project at WeWork and being a tech company rather than a real estate company can help increase valuation.

I may be completely wrong on this ofcourse but just a theory.

putsjoeon The Four Dirty C-Words of the Internet

"So what kind of music/TV/movies do you like?"

Also allows for three questions over one general question.

putsjoeon On Being Rich-ish: Lessons I learned becoming suddenly middle-class

putsjoeon Ask HN: Who Wants to Be Fired? (June 2022)

Just a small tip for Mondays. I stopped going to the gym on Mondays and essentially got rid of any miserable activities for the evening, clearing it up. I still dread Mondays, just a little less because I know after work I can just relax and cook a nice meal.

putsjoeon Ask HN: How to think about direction in life/career?

I think it's short for something

putsjoeon An Alleged Fraud Uncovered by a Short Seller Ends in Gunfire

How did you know?

putsjoeon Ask HN: Replacement for Stack Overflow jobs section?

For anybody curious like I was, you answer a series of questions and at the end have to sign up to see any job postings.

I didn't end up signing up but they could atleast provide a sample of the roles they have available instead of wasting the time of anybody that just wants a quick idea of what they have to offer.

putsjoeon Living on 24 hours a day

Possibly off topic but could this be procrastination more than an addiction to the Algo?

I've found my procrastination stems from a fear of failure. Maybe you doom scroll instead of do these other things because your afraid you'll 'fail' at them and feel bad rather than because they are effort and commitment.

putsjoeon What I learned about interviewing

I haven't got a clue what your onabout yet I write code professionally

putsjoeon Tip Jar

Somebody has mentioned this about Patreon before. But couldn't a drug dealer now just sign up to Twitter and get Tips from their customers instead of cash?

putsjoeon Please fix the AWS free tier before somebody gets hurt

I don't get why AWS doesn't offer preloading credit. Surely charging your card 1 cent a month isn't worth the time.

Whereas if they allowed customers to load on an amount, even a direct debit, their card processing fees would go down and customers would just get cut off when they run out of credit.

I suppose a counter argument to this is that it's hard for AWS to keep a constant eye on how much a service is costing. In which case we're back to the same argument as spending limits.

putsjoeon Git Commands You Should Never Use

Not sure what browser you use, but since disabling JavaScript for Medium (Chrome) it's been better.

I agree with you still though.

Would a captcha have helped?

putsjoeon Limitations and pitfalls of the job interview

Hang in there. I have a friend who's in a similar position, she's interviewed and been ghosted a few times and it has really gotten her down. It can take time but eventually a company will come to their senses and realise your value.

This helpful link explains what and why

putsjoeon An interview code submission that wasn’t even submitted changed our process

I think an incredibly simple coding test is enough.

At my previous role we were surprised just how many people looked good on paper for a development role but barely even attempted the first question on a 3 question HackerRank test.

I agree with you on the pricing and Crostini support though.

putsjoeon Show HN: A world cup 2018 live dashboard with browser notifications

Hi, sorry Im not sure on the API being used. But just to let you know you can access an API by creating your own endpoint to call, which then calls the target API. In which case your not exposing the target API's key as its backend code. Then you can ensure only your users are using their particular key and for example rate limit them yourself.

Hope this helps
