I like it! I bookmarked it. But I wouldn't pay for it.

These links should be in the main post. Could maybe automatically added. I didn't know about it and the person who posted the comment also did not and so many more... saying "it's been discussed for years" does not bring anything else than showing that you have some knowledge that some does not have...

I'm over 15 years of experience, lost my job, and finding a job at 200k+ took months (Bay Area). I'm lucky and found something, but the market is totally different than it was 3-5 years ago. There is a lot of competition, and there are not a lot of open positions.

>At AppSumo, we run paid trials with potential teammates before bringing them on full-time to ensure they’re the right fit.

Not sure that is something I would personally enjoy. While I understand you must fit in, having this process highlights that leaving your current company is even riskier as you might not make the cut and end up with nothing. The trial is one-sided, with all the risks for the new employee, not AppSumo. I understand that any change of job is similar where you may stay forever, however, saying that way make it worse somehow.

FYI, on Chrome (Windows machine) your home page is missing the vertical scroll bar.

You probably do not have a child of 7 years old because they do not know at that age what is a prime number.

Second, basic math still that you never or rarely use or with very large time between usage might get rusty. You may understand the concept but not find the optimal solution. The way you are responding here shows quite a lot about how you are short sighted by instant-failing someone with a single question instead of trying to asses the whole person as much as you can. On you side, you are wasting opportunity to have a great person that could be a key player in your team by bringing other set of skill on the table.

Kids are way more disruptive than open space. Depending of the age they are dependent for simple thing like getting a cup of water. Then the list grow fast to get snack or to go to the bathroom. Then it continues by being bored after 10 minutes. I would say that any kid under 10 years old require some supervision. Of course, some children are more independent and trustworthy. However, 8 hours of work with a child or 8 hours in an open space is very different for most parent.

Apollo is literally build on top of REST. It adds types and clarify the dependencies between the types. It enhances an existing protocol by adding features.

It is not a silver bullets but it has advantages like self-documenting (Playground), ease of discovery on big API (generated documentation with types) and can have TypeScript type generated for your (reduce the number of interfaces/types to maintain).

Federation is also a good concept if you have many teams that need to converge into a cohesive API gateway.

Overall, if you use it properly it can be a great tool.

South-East San Jose and I felt it. Received a notification on my Pixel phone as the house was shaking. Nothing broken, but for the 5-6 seconds it lasted I had the reflect to hold my monitors (on arms) because they were shaking.

I'm a developer, did small Arduino project but always found it too overwhelming to create a custom board. What do you recommend to get started? I'm impressed by the custom board of this phone!

Yes, good people that know they can find something else will leave first. Those who stay are mostly very comfortable and well positioned that they know they far in the queue of layoff or those that know they cannot find something similarly well paid.

>let people choose teammates until they find ones that fit.

Good way to get a very echo room of single way of thinking with strong bias. But I agree that it is way faster without the friction of different point of views.

The rendering part resonate with me. I've tried in some side projects SolidJS framework and I really enjoy that the rendering of each component occurs once! Easier to not fall into some traps that React has.
