They do have different tracks, and you can skip to the next one.

That is absolutely false.

I've worked with large and small organizations whose whole business ecosystem is built on Rails.

Including some very large publicly traded companies.

Looks great! How do I get the code?

Not sure it's fair for you to compare a small SaaS business to Netflix in terms of pricing. People have bills to pay.

I used the free plan for a while but having a reserved subdomain is pretty sweet. And the cost for a whole year of it is fairly small in my opinion.

Have you worked with any recruiting agencies? I'm a big fan of Mondo - the folks there are great and have been incredibly helpful and responsive. Feel free to drop me a line if you want an intro. (I mainly work in Rails but I'm sure they can help you find something in Python.)

(There are a lot of great technical recruiters, but I've personally only used Mondo. I'm sure others have some they love as well.)

That's so interesting re: the number of startups and shutdowns. Makes perfect sense given the mission of "generating power" vs. getting somewhere or "poking holes in the ocean".

This stuff just scratches the surface. They wouldn't post official training materials that went in depth on how ship specific systems work (even for older systems that may no longer be in use).

ex Navy Submariner here. I know quite a few folks that got out (in the 2005-2010 range) and took jobs in the nuclear field. Some had degrees, some didn't.

The Navy uses Pressurized Water reactors which seem to be a fairly common design in commercial use as well (according to Wikipedia, anyway). Which means a lot of how things work would be similar, and you'd just have to learn the specific systems for how that plant operated (i.e. the designs and how the cooling, electronics, power generation, etc. worked)

I would imagine there would be a lot of overall similarities in core principles and operations, but some specific systems would work differently being on land and likely generating a lot more power + having other requirements for discharges and cooling etc, vs. a seagoing vessel.

Same here. I upgraded to Charge HR right when it came out. Am still using the original unit I bought 2 years ago.

I'm using a MacBook Pro from late 2011.

Most of the actual machine specs (i.e. processor and max RAM) have barely changed in 5 years. I put 16 Gb in my laptop 5 years ago and it's still the most you can squeeze into a 13" MacBook Pro.

It's sad (and somewhat telling) that Apple has not packed more power into this form factor over the past 5 years.

Bubbles don't happen when everyone says "we're in a bubble".

Bubbles happen when everyone is excited, they all want in to the next pets.com no matter what, and the general consensus is "this time is different".

I've been using Moniker since 2006 and the change has been pretty frustrating.

I also noticed that they changed the pricing for privacy from the $1 I've been paying for years to $4. All the reps that got me the pricing are long gone and no one from support has responded to my request to fix the pricing.

I'm nervous to transfer a few hundred domains to a new registrar but given what I'm seeing I don't know how much longer I can tolerate what Moniker is doing.
