This hit way too close to home, I’m cackling.

What if they are intentionally misdirecting you?

This is what makes our world special. Not all is as meets the eye. Illusion is powerful.

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying. If you’re treated as FTE, why are you not?

I’ve had a similar situation before, and I will say that of course they want to make you feel like an FTE while keeping you on contract. That is the best of both worlds for them, of which you reap nothing but self-employment paperwork.

You say jobs, and then say contract. Are you an FTE or a contract worker?

If FTE, borderline.

If contractor, congratulations, you have just started an agency.

Google Sheets via Sheets API

https://developers.google.com/sheets/api

- free

- framework agnostic

- easy to integrate (IMO relatively easier than parsing a WP API, setting up proper taxonomy, etc)

- your user is probably already familiar with Google Sheets

- not ideal for sensitive info, that's ok because this is a portfolio site for public info

- not ideal for large datasets, that's ok because your user will have a relatively small, static dataset

Here's the sample frontend: https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/quickstart/js

If it was for a big client needing a business solution, sure I'd say you need to choose Wordpress as it is industry standard. But because it sounds like your client is an individual who hired you for their own personal needs, IMO Wordpress is overkill here.

Better yet, just hook up a YAML flat file, show them where it is in Github, and give them collaboration permissions :D

As someone who has been critical of TripleByte here on HN in the past, I appreciate the identification and acknowledgment of where things went wrong and why people were unhappy. This seems like a sincere pivot where the community was heard. Wishing TripleByte luck and success.

I can also report I haven’t received a single TripleByte email since the issue was last brought up :) Thank you for standing by that.

It’s 2021. This is the way. Even just USDC.

Thanks for the feedback there, and for checking it out. I’m still working on an ideal process for optimizing identification of the lines you want to use. The issue with both the count and the start is that you have to have some awareness of those indexes. I’m working on a more visual way to pick and choose commands (think git squash commit picking).

Unless you mean start as in, type a command to begin “recording” and then type an end command when you’re done? Interesting idea

The Information War has truly taken its toll.

We are no longer able to discern truth from falsehood, and as a result are scared into polarization by the nature of our surroundings. We no longer morally stand strong against the pull of power as we may have once did.

The ensuing discussions are more often than not, nothing more than desperate attempts of talking past one another.

Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Palestinian, Israeli, human. We all deserve peace and love.

I want Palestinians to have a home. I want Israelis to have a home as well. It’s a complex issue. And because there is not necessarily an easy answer, we more easily fall victim to the tide of fear and frustration on a global scale.

Existence is suffering. May we all find a way to survive.

Such strong arguments, such as “I guess,” and my personal favorite, “as a matter of probability.”

Just fanning the flames, let’s work together to find a solution instead of gaslighting.

Can confirm, as part of the wudu or pre-prayer washing ritual, you are required to rinse your privates with water if you have not done so or used the restroom since your last prayer. Often times this is done with a bidet. Watering pots are also common :D

Hang on a second, I’m having trouble keeping all of these tinfoil hats on my head at once.
