She also had a program that gave a free book to elementary school kids every year (as a part of the local book fair). The first technical book I ever owned was a very basic intro to html that I received as a part of that program.

As a kid growing up in Tennessee I was the beneficiary of several of her reading programs. They really helped to foster a sense of curiosity and wonder that live with me to this day. Dolly was a real one, she'll definitely be missed.

It's wild to me that they would acquire a company for $295m and then shut it down six years later. I'd be really curious to know if this is a failed acquisition or if they think they'll be able to retain previous ops genie customers on their new products.

First off, it sounds like you’re going through a lot and human to human I want to acknowledge how hard that is. I’d suggest trying to talk to someone to help you heal and overcome the things that you’ve been coping with. When I’ve worked stressful jobs I’ve found exercise to be really helpful. Lastly, just remember that while you need your job economically you’ve already decided to leave, so as much as possible try to not take any of the actions of others personally. If you can put some mental space between your work and yourself it might help you to keep enough energy to focus on a search for something more fulfilling.
There are great teams out there, it does take a lot of work to find them but it is possible to find something fulfilling. Take care of yourself enough during this time so you have the energy to go find something better. I’d encourage you to get started.

Invisible | Remote (EST +/- 6) | Full Time | https://www.invisible.co/technology-careers/ Invisible builds a platform for Operations to run Business Processes. We stand at the intersection of humans and machines building scalable, repeatable processes for business using a combination of automation and humans in the loop. We've built an in house platform that handles the execution of these processes (think Zapier or IFFT that combines automations and human agents) and are solving interesting problems on teams ranging from Infra (Kubernetes, GCP) to UI (Python, Django, Typescript, React, Next.js). We're currently hiring across multiple teams from Junior to Principle level and including Engineering Managers and Directors.

I joined a project that was fully deployed on Vercel. We routinely ran into issues with limitations, outages and sharp edges. Our junior devs had also taken advantage of Vercel specific features (I remember a Vercel specific request object in the code specifically).
Given all the problems and the vendor lock in from tight coupling I advise everyone I discuss Vercel with to avoid them like the plague.

I’m willing to admit that poor usage can make any tool a problem. But, tRPC is set up to make it easy to directly expose your backend for use in a component. For new projects that’s fantastic, for larger projects and teams having the ‘friction’ of defining a gRPC, GraphQL or REST endpoint is leading to more thoughtful API design and ability to keep isolation between layers.

If you only ever use Typescript and are sure you’ll never need to interact with the code in any other language or service in a different repo it’s fine. But as soon as you need to reuse that backend for anything else you’re stuck building something new.

I'm currently in the process of removing tRPC from our codebase. It's been a nightmare of tight coupling. I've also found that it encourages more junior developers to not think about interfaces / data access patterns (there's a mapping from Prisma straight through to the component). It's fantastic for rapid prototyping but really paints you into a corner if you ever want to decouple the codebase.

The company that I work at does exactly the service that you're describing. We recently spun up a team of Math PhDs to help with data labeling. (https://www.invisible.co/). We're seeing more and more of our clients ask for graduate level data labelers and content creators.
