wprapido··on Ask HN: Being a hacker, which books engaged your inquisitive mind the most?
Speaking of Stephenson, "Cryptonomicon" is a must read.
wprapido··on Ask HN: "Older” developers, what's the next career phase for you?
Fixing code messed up by younger developers keeps me busy, pays well, allowed me to start a new venture and land a very lucrative gig. No signs of it stopping.
wprapido··on Ask HN: Best way for a developer to learn design?
Despite being somewhat dated, "Design for Hackers" is certainly the best book on a given subject.

https://www.dailyui.co/ is a great resource.

Dissecting and replicating other designers' work gets you a long way when it comes to learning.

Design is a craft and a thought process. As such, picking it is not beyond any determined individual's reach.

wprapido··on Ask HN: Does a Freelancer Need a Resume?
No. I created one lately, after two decades. Even that is not a proper resume. More like summary on skills, references and a couple of career highlights.

SEEKING WORK - Croatia - Remote

Has your developer abandoned the project? Do you need a bug fixed urgently? Need an MVP or a prototype built? Prompt response. Immediate availability. Quick delivery. Money back guarantee

I’m ready to take over the project your developer has abandoned. Can help you fix that bug that makes your business lose money. Would happily help you develop a prototype so you can validate the idea, start selling, or get funding.

Not married to any technology. Used them all. Most versed (but not limited to) at Python, PHP (vanilla, Laravel, Symfony, as well as WordPress, Magento, NextCloud), JavaScript (vanilla JS and NodeJS), Ruby, C#. Worked on integrations and building extensions in Shopify, PropertyWare, Elastix, GSuite, etc. Generally problem solving focused rather than tech stack obsessed. Fine about using whatever gets the job done.

wprapido··on Ask HN: How important is .com for branding and customer acquisition?
TLD matters to a certain extent. What is your main woe is that the name itself is already taken, so particular TLD (.com or any other) doesn't matter that much. Which TLD to pick is entirely different concern. It largely depends on your target market. Unless your target market is niche specific, tech savvy or limited to a certain geography, .com is a given.
wprapido··on Ask HN: What technologies should I focus on to enhance my carreer?
React, Vue, Angular are a good fit with your current frontend experience.

wprapido··on Ask HN: Customising a WordPress Theme to Launch My MVP, Bad Idea?
Highly recommended. After all, your customers / clients, don't care about tech, as long as you solve their problems.
wprapido··on Why play a music CD? No ads, no privacy terrors, no algorithms
I also use Spotify as a great music discovery tool. That's where it stops at though.
wprapido··on Why play a music CD? No ads, no privacy terrors, no algorithms
I use streaming services like Spotify and even YouTube purely for discovering new music, on my terms. Music I want to listen to is music I own, as in I have it locally, managed by me. Ads, privacy, audio quality and many other issues plague streaming services.

wprapido··on Ask HN: What is the best “dumb” phone?
I got multiple dumb phones. The new Nokia 3310 being my favorite. On top, it's dual SIM.
wprapido··on Ask HN: Can I store someone's Facebook password?
Storing a password itself is not an issue. Password managers like LastPass do that. The automation bit is what might get you into uncharted waters though.
wprapido··on Ask HN: How Did You Setup Your Windows Machine to Do Linux Related Development?
What about remote machines with DigitalOcean, Vultr, ScaleWay, AWS?
wprapido··on Ask HN: When working on a side project with a collaborator, do you incorporate?
Incorporate, only if/when it begins generating revenue. As of the other concerns, I keep separate emails, hosting servers, SaaS subscription, PayPal/Stripe/Payoneer/bank accounts for every side project that might bring in revenue, even negligent.
wprapido··on Ask HN: What Compliances to Take Care of When Building a SaaS Product?
GDPR is all you need at an early stage.
wprapido··on Ask HN: How do you test CMS-based websites?
Doesn't play nice with other tools
wprapido··on KABOOM in 180 lines of bare C++
Brings back fond memories from the demoscene days back in the 90's! Cheers!
wprapido··on Ask HN: How do you test CMS-based websites?
If Selenium doesn't work, give Puppeteer a go. It's NodeJS-based though.

How do you go about? Pretty simple. Define criteria, run Chrome Headless against it, and check results. Jest is a nice add on in your toolchain!

As there are many use cases and a million criteria to test agains, coming up with a one size fits all solution is difficult. Katalon is perhaps closest to it, but it has many shortcomings.

Some food for thought. Rely more on screenshots and compare them with what you expect. I'm writing a simple downtime checker as we speak and one of the key features is very basic analytics that compares screenshot to blank screens, generic error pages, parked domain landing pages, etc.

wprapido··on Ask HN: Do you believe that your government has access to your Google history?
Backdoors, dude, backdoors. Coupled with governments sharing data, officially and not.
wprapido··on Ask HN: Are most questions on Quora submitted by bots?
Quora apparently uses bots for translating questions into languages other than English. Other use cases? It's either bots or a bunch of human morons
