Same here. GTA VI launch...I'm getting the next gen console.

SO, we've summoned the monster that almost destroyed us all in 2008.

Wow, the "Virus Economy". Is that the term emerging now? It's still sinking in with me...that this is our new reality.

I've been buying as the market is going down, and will continue as we hit whatever bottom we are headed towards. I'll keep buying until there are obvious signs things are stabilizing. From there, I'll dig deeper and look for specific undervalued equities as we start the long, slow slog out of recession. I still regret not rigorously doing this in 2008-2009.

I have a chlorine-based swimming pool. Should I live on my swimming pool?

(Yes, I'm being sarcastic from the amount of paranoid questions being asked here).

Not a damned thing. I'm actually traveling outside the country (USA) in two days.

Thanks for the SQL Antipatterns book recommendation. Just ordered it.

Asking for the sortedList size with every iteration of that loop. haha, ouch! :)

I'm pretty sure I'm not listening to Poison's "Talk Dirty to Me" for the rest of my life.

The fact you have it out there and shipped is what matters.

Yea, at 20000 square feet...by the time you finish cleaning the entire thing, you'd have to start over, since where you started is already dusty.

I created a Google Chrome extension to create and manage work orders (a slightly enhanced version of an invoice). General info: https://WorkOrderSnap.com Link to extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/workordersnap-work...

EDIT: Built almost entirely in Vue.js :)

I had to explain to my supervisor's boss' boss (Division VP of a $800M USD/year company) for an hour on why I needed a $45 piece of software to read/understand binary files.

Hopefully you weren't at work.

17 years experience full stack software developer, focusing on web development the last 13 years. I've deep-dived into the backend and frontend during those times, so I'm confident on both sides. I've been working in .NET/C# since 2002, with a ~2 year stint in Node.js, and another in C++ (no prior experience in either "stint", but I ramp-up quickly).

I built from scratch and have a Chrome extension - workordersnap.com (link on site to the extension), built entirely with Vue.js. Also building a .NET Core + Vue.js web app to create checklists and procedures...a scratch-my-own-itch thing, but also to sharpen my full stack skills. It's up on a public Digital Ocean Droplet, so I can demo it if you like :)

I might look like a .NET-only developer, but I'll jump head first into Python, Go, and Rust if you have those things going on. Highly interested.

I agree with this. I've been using a Fitbit for 4 years, and I can see the difference in my sleep on a good night compared to nights I've had alcohol, worked out too hard, been dehydrated, had too much caffeine late in the day...they all have measurable differences in my sleep.

...and 2 minutes later I'm signed up to Tilly with my existing Stripe account. Well done on the signup/signin process!

Sweet. Doing this right now. Thanks!

Someone posted here long ago, that HN is like a gym.

You walk in to a gym, there are people of all types. Lots of activity, the clank of weights and whirring of cardio machines. The heavy lifters are grunting out squat sets and chalking their hands. A yoga class is starting and the lycra and mats are flowing into that. It's not all workouts, though. Others are standing chatting to each other about energy drinks. Some are fiddling with their phones or watching the one of the mounted TVs.

My point is, HN has always been that gym: yes the overriding theme has been hacking in startups, but there's many adjacent and often even more things going on than just that. Is that bad or distracting? I don't know, but it makes this place interesting.

I'm already signed up with Stripe. If I sign up with you, can I use my existing Stripe account?

I have 2 SaaS products that need a simple payment flow like this.

I agree with this. Less being in the code all day, and more handling what you want the result to be.

Learn what a software architect, possibly a solutions architect does. You may need a few more years experience in software development, but those types of roles deal with more of the expected result, without having to deal with the day-to-day programming details.

Building a business solely relying on someone else's walled garden (Google Adsense in this case) is a business risk.

You need to find other paths of revenue, ideally out of Google.

Holy crap, you wrote what I was thinking, except I've done web development since 2000. I've ditched all other javascript frameworks and am now all Vue, all the time (with a little vanilla js thrown in when needed).

Coincidentally, I've built a .NET core web app as well, with Vue.js handling nearly the entire UI. It's lightening fast since I'm letting .NET handle the backend and Vue handle the frontend. I built the entire thing on my little Macbook Air. Hit me up if you want to talk shop sometime.

I'm sure the ruby, python, rust folks are snickering...but .NET Core + Vue.js is an A-List webdev stack as fas as I'm concerned.

Congratulations on making something and seeing it through to the end (launch). I love posts on HN like this, people like you out there hacking away, learning, and make something useful/fun/cool like this. Bravo!

Let's hope for a commercial during the next Super Bowl.

Absolutely loved it on the Commodore64, and still love playing the ROM+emulator version. It's truly a masterpiece of easy to learn, yet challenging to master, and of course just plain fun.
