I only buy from merchants that offer PayPal (there are few I trust by card, like Amazon). And the reason is that whatever it happens, I can always get my money back with PayPal. It happened 3 times in last 5 years that seller took the money and never shipped anything. I got all them resolved very quickly.

> Reels usage is still growing
But of course, as Meta put gun to the head of everyone - you WILL make Reels, or else - and now all the people I follow, increasingly make Reels. I hate Reels.

Drip Europe | Frontend Engineer | Full Time | Remote, but significant overlap (at least 4 hours) with Central European Time | https://www.drip.com
We’re an ecommerce marketing automation platform that’s generated more than $2 billion in revenue for our customers since 2018, and we’re only getting smarter and better at what we do: help independent retail thrive.
We’re looking for a frontend engineer that knows Javascript very well for Drip Onsite Team. We write lots of Vanilla Javascript that should not affect our customer’s performance or functionality, no matter how good or bad their website is made. Also, many of our customers do not know how to code, so we’ve built a flexible yet easy-to-use HTML editor to help them make their campaigns. In short, we get to solve some pretty technical problems for a lot of non-technical users.
Specifically, we’re looking for someone who is not primarily a framework user but who likes to tinker with problems no one has discovered before. Pragmatic, not politician. Can ask questions and give answers.

Most my coworkes are introverts. We do not do anything above. Unexpected enough? And we are lean and mean highly functional team. The most helpful for my team is let people be themselves and not force rituals.

Oh for fucks sake people. There seems to be 5 lines of text on that page and to see them I needed to turn off content blockers. Jeez…

Find a hobby. Something that is not work related and take it seriously. I don’t know - start cooking, invest into obscure LP’s, vintage fashion, start collecting stamps, racing cars. PS! Going to gym and travelling is not a hobby.

Sleeknote | Frontend Engineer | Full Time | Remote, but significant overlap (at least 4 hours) with Central European Time (Denmark based) | https://www.sleeknote.com
We’re a growing, stable company that creates tools that help websites turn their visitors into customers with popups. We are the good guys, as unobtrusive as possible. We are the most expensive, and our customers love us.

P.S. We do not use React, nor Typescript directly, but we are inspired some of the ideas.

It is called CV driven development. The cold truth is if you do not have latest SV hype in your CV, you become pariah, unhireable. It’s that simple.

> Not everyone needs mobile internet. I'd argue that most people don't. Mobile phones were extremely popular when they didn't have any internet connectivity.
I am not mocking you, but here the case is that people do not know what true mobility for laptops is, that they literally can leave power brick behind, not to think about whether the battery lasts or not and use it freely during the day everywhere. This has been impossible until now, there has always been the constraint of do I really need to open my laptop, what if it dies, where is the power plug. As soon as masses realize that this is now no worry, everyone wants and needs 15+ hours battery life.

I would not say obsessed. Instead I divide engineers to implementors (people who are masters of using frameworks/libraries to implement features, but are not capable of writing one) and developers (people who can write a framework/library if that is the ticket).
But yes, there are lots of implementors around and very few developers. We currently try to hire a developer and that is not easy.

We always look for “rough diamonds”. It is a creative process, lots of tea leaves reading, but will yield excellent results if you have the ability to read these tea leaves. I am not sure we ever hired “the best on paper” candidate. But we have had great success with people who had no knowledge of out stack, down to the programming language.

Some years ago that “universal “ in EU was USB-A, Apple had Lightning. Now EU wants that “universal” to be USB-C, Apple has Lightning. And in few years EU adapts USB-X as “universal” and Apple still goes with Lightning.
