A success story shouldn’t be completed on demand, though, it should be something that was already made and just pointed at. Where is the asymmetry there?

I just wanted to pop in and say that I found the site delightful. It’s aesthetic, concise, and everything works so quickly and responsively.

Atomic Fi | https://atomic.financial | Strong Junior to Mid Level Engineer | Automation, Integration Engineering | Full-Time | REMOTE (US)

Atomic builds tools that help users do common financial tasks like changing their direct deposit when they open a new bank account, changing their payment on file when they open a new credit card, or tracking and automatically cancelling their subscriptions.

Our Automation Engineers build integrations using tools like Puppeteer or by consuming third party APIs to automate those tasks. Knowledge of web fundamentals is a must!

Knowledge of web fundamentals is a must, but we often find SDET experience translates well so this can be a great opportunity for someone looking to change lanes in the software field.

I am diagnosed with EoE as a result of celiac disease. I've had a lot of success with Dupixent as a treatment--just wanted to put that out for HN should anyone be looking for new options.

It’s not hidden. It’s just on the bottle because it’s convenient for a keeper to reference.

Lots of outdoor gear brands are now selling repaired or refurbished used gear and clothing. Since used gear is pretty eclectic in selection it’s hard to find what you want by browsing at a random time.

I built a pretty simple web app that tracks a bunch of vendors and emails me when items matching my filters come in stock!

I think there's a good argument for Elixir and Phoenix. It's shocking how easy it is to do just about anything with it. An excellent database wrapper, incredible async story, beautiful at real time. You can substitute in a JS SPA framework if you need to, but I think you can go really far with LiveView before that's a requirement.

Well, North Dakota is pretty close. It is indeed very large but its population is only slightly larger than Luxembourg.

That sounds like inertial navigation with nav fixes, which predates GPS. It certainly does exist.

It feels that point is undermined when the accelerationists don’t succeed and only make a new equilibrium of killing the kid and replacing him.

It feels to me more like a critique that change is impossible.

Are these hard to swallow? It feels like the author is pushing a particular tone when stating facts (with maybe a couple debatable points) that any software engineer would agree with.

I play flight sim games and GFS is a major factor in my hobbies now. I’m over a year into converting a real F-16 throttle grip into a video game controller, and there’s no end in sight. I’ve become immersed in 3d printing, CAD and PCB design.

I hear it’s also big in outdoor hobbies—backpackers often make their own tents and packs too.

What makes these libraries heart-pounding? Seems like clickbait. (Generally I prefer my heart rate to remain low while using libraries anyway)

I think you would be surprised. There are a lot of concepts that cross over—servant leadership, trusting subordinates with expertise, setting expectations of “what” or “why” and letting your subordinates figure out “how.”

Your point is valid that those in the military can’t just quit, but there is a world of difference between motivated and trusting subordinates and those just going through the motions because they have to. (Same story in software engineers!)

Now, to be clear, the military regularly and routinely fails at the leadership principles they proscribe, but the principles are still good.
