most large venues have a rev share agreement on these fees. they aren’t all going to the ticketing company.

this is a “soft delete”. as the author notes, depending on the nature of the data being stored a soft delete does not meet the requirements of many data privacy laws and compliance regulations (like GDPR’s right to erasure).

I feel every admin panel I’ve built over the years, including recently, have been “mildly dynamic”. only enough jquery to be usable by other staff.

Sorry, is a decade a notably long career these days? Am I old?

if this was just to improve SEO, why not just slap in pre-rendering middleware and forgo SSR? like prerender.io or some headless chrome variant w/ cache? honest question, I’m not as experienced with the nuances of frontend dev

You mean in 2023? So many of my favorite SF dives closed during or as a result of covid: lucky 13, hemlock, whiskey thieves, bachus kirk just to name a few

a former employer of mine insisted we use phabricator (self-hosted) instead of github. while I initially fought it because of vpn requirement and UI/UX differences after years of github, I grew to quite like it. in particular the comment organization, handling of back-merges to trunk, and workflow standardization. not sure if it’s still maintained or not though

surprisingly I didn’t see anything in here about managerial responsibilities of big decisions involving company $$. budgeting, vendor & contract negotiation, build vs buy, etc. I found this to be one of the starkest differences and all a bit unnerving when I made the transition from staff IC to manager. will say that having a good boss and mentor helped a lot with the feelings of imposter syndrome.

didn’t they announce a bunch of layoffs recently?

Agree with other comments to sell immediately upon vesting. Learned this the hard way a while back when I held onto my vested RSUs for 1y to reduce the tax burden. Per-share value dropped below the tax % difference, and I was not diversified enough for risk.
As I also recall, holding them complicated my taxes that year and put me into AMT threshold. This may have been from option exercise though, I can’t remember.

shares a name with popular yet completely different OSS oauth2 server by Ory: https://www.ory.sh/hydra/
also in case the author is reading, the documentation link from the README appears to be broken (https://docs.hydras.io/getting-started/readme)
