There’s a bias, I think. When I saw the title that is about how bad I’m at estimating, I’ve leaned towards counterintuitive answers. This got me quite a high score. I think test set should also include intuitive facts (or maybe I was just lucky).

What I do is use L2TP/IPsec VPN to phone into my home network and then login and use Synology NAS "locally". There's no inherent need to open your NAS to the internet if you don't want to.

I find it amusing that there are just two mentions of COVID-19 in the small quote in the middle of article. Yet everyone completely understands what this article is about. Wondering how soon it won't be so obvious (probably not very soon, but still).

I'm a software developer with 8 years of experience in a variety of both backend and frontend technologies/frameworks. Looking for a remote position or part-time remote consulting opportunity (may consider relocation after travel restrictions due to quarantine are lifted).

Love learning new things (currently mastering Rust) and solving hard problems (optimization, debugging etc.).

My current position is a bit unstable due to lockdowns and quarantines, so I'm looking for a more stable job right now. Have almost 10 years of industry experience, worked remotely and within distributed team previously.

Thanks, I've applied. Didn't know Sourcegraph is a remote company. BTW, I've used it on one of my projects before and it was really easy to set up and proved great for onboarding new developers, so thanks for developing it :)

We're providing services for people organizing events (weddings, conferences etc.), that is probably one of the most affected sectors right now.

I suffered pay cut due to outbreak affecting my company. It was profitable and growing steadily, but due to outbreak people stopped using it (and paying). Right now we're in the red, this is not sustainable, so I think in a couple of months I will be laid off (unless situation stabilizes by then).

It's a bit scary to be in this position, as I know most companies here stopped hiring, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a new job quickly.

Kind of feeling I'm hitting the ceiling working locally (doesn't feel like I'm doing impact, as local companies don't really have interesting problems to solve), but not really willing to relocate right now. Looking for a place that is technically challenging as I would like to improve my skills and learn something new. And one that follows good development practices (CI/CD, testing - passes Joel's test in a nutshell).

Kind of a smaller ones, but "Hanabi" and "Grizzled" are also nice. The good thing in these two games is they're not feeling like group solitaire (and I love a good game of Spirit Island, but point stands), you actually have to cooperate with another people, you can't win them by yourself.

That's not always true. Reader may decide to not use ligatures and the code will appear as is for them. They're entirely optional.

In russian this is called "General's effect", where general is an army general. Basically, something is working as long as a higher rank official is present and not working otherwise.
