That's probably why in the US nobody put their cart back. They would do it if they had to get their coin back. Again, to fight laziness, go for the wallet!

Nice to see it being mentioned again. I have been using it for a few weeks no and it definitely helps in reducing the amount of time I spent on HN. The UX is also really nice, especially the ability to collapse comments much faster than regular HN. Good job!

Great job! It really fits the way I consume HN which is just once per day usually.

I like the outline.com article style, and also discovered outline.com in the process.

I am not a huge fan of the layout for the comments, it feels a bit too big for me and a bit hard to follow along, as it switches between authors and so on, but that might just be a personal preference.

You should probably consider making it open-source as it is definitely the type of project I would like to contribute to!

Thank you for building this!

Isn't it only if no other location to work from is available to you as an employee?

It might just be me but enabling the option and clicking and the recording button just attempt to reload the page and I get a blank page. Not sure what is supposed to happen.

Is using react-native for Web better than having react & react-native for your UI and nicely separated business logic that is reusable for both? If you use react native for Web, does it mean your UI will look exactly the same whether it is on the web or mobile?

Advice: Skip straight to the situation paragraph as anything before that isn't about the DocuSign integration, not sure what the first section brings to the whole article.

I wish HN would notify me of answers for my comment. Yes, I totally share that mindset with you. I actually use pretty much the same thing when helping people starting their programming journey.

'There is so many things to learn I started with Python but there is this and this and that'

A language is just a language, the principles and your ability to translate problems to code is what is making you a programmer.

This is interesting. The whole having to specialize thing has been scaring me a bit lately as I really do like the fact I can be jumping back and forth between the paths when working. I have been told that I should find something to specialize in as most of the companies require you to be specialized and there is no place for generalists anymore, which sounds weird to me. So are you a specialist in anything? It seems you have close to a 20-years career so I was either lied/misguided or you have expertise in one of those domains?

I discovered an interest in DevOps recently, so I worked on a few side projects using AWS. When it comes to languages or frameworks:

  - nodejs (express) coupled with ECS for deployments
  - vuejs for a small project
  - a tiny bit of Go
A few weeks ago, started a new project with Flutter and I have to say I am pretty convinced so far:

  - great tooling
  - easy to setup
  - close enough to react when it comes to principles
  - but a bit too verbose for my taste.
I also have my Arduino starter kit unopened on my desk.

Being thorough and highly detailed is definitely something that I praise with the colleagues I have doing it well. Someone taking time to write good PRs and maintaining documentation is definitely more useful in my book that a fast coder. Good documentation reduces the bus factor by a lot, and make someone a team player in my opinion.

2. "Every senior dev I hire must have done one of two things: either ran their own business or was a one-person shop. That's how I know that they know how to do whatever it takes to get software built and deployed."

Were you getting a lot of new senior hires? That sounds hard to achieve. I agree those people would probably be great, but also really really hard to find.

I was going to start working on this, but yeah the issue is that the website would still act as a middleman to send the money around. There are a few problems with this:

- some use paypal, some use patreon, some use neither so where do you send the money

- even if it was either paypal or patreon, they would take their cut which is unfair.

- even if organizations/foundations would give their bank account info, you could probably use stripe to send the money to the right place, but not sure.

I would be happy to discuss about this by email as I think it is an idea that could be further explored.

I think when it is a company you worked for, you might be more likely to do it. You probably still have a bit of attachment to it.
