Nit, but I think that 24.8% is a subset of the 54.3%, not additive - i.e. “family members” are included in the category of “people you know.”

(Confirmed with the pie chart in your first link.)

A random sampling - Thundercat, Louis Cole / Knower, MonoNeon, Nate Smith, Vulfpeck, GoGo Penguin, Snarky Puppy

Interested in other recommendations too!

This has been roughly my experience and reaction on PC as well. Save and load is annoying but not a blocker at 5-10 seconds, but I would probably be pretty miserable at 3-5 minutes per restart.

I’ll point folks over to https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmyjoystick/ (Like “tip of my tongue,” but for games.) Just a solid community helping people find long-lost games.

+1 for Summoning Salt. I especially liked his Mario Kart Wii video, where he explains the mechanics of the lap counting system in detail.

I currently have this symptom. I ordered extremely spicy Thai food last week. I could feel the heat, but not taste anything at all.

After about 4 days, I regained some ability to differentiate between salty/sour/sweet, but it’s been in and out for the last 2-3 days. I accidentally poured too much mustard on a sandwich at lunch today and could not have told you there was any mustard on it at all in a blind test.

Tried it out for a couple hours today! A quick experience report:

  - Collaborative editing was very solid, even with one of us using vim extensions and the other one not. (This has caused me some pain in Screen.so in particular.)
  - The leader/follower model was slightly unintuitive at times. I vaguely recall Floobits allowing either participant to e.g. create new files, but in GitDuck the leader has to share them to the workspace for them to become editable. (I might also be misremembering this from the Floobits days, but it was slightly confusing.)
  - Similar to ^ - when I was not leading, I couldn't summon the leader into a file I was editing, so I had to tell him when I was switching files. IIRC Floobits let you take yourself in/out of follow mode, even as the leader, so you would be automatically summoned when the other person switched files.
  - Looking forward to terminal support - glad that's on your roadmap :)
  - Our team is 50/50 between vim and VSCode right now, so we're looking forward to vim8/neovim support to really feel the power compared to Screen.so and Tuple.
Overall, had a surprisingly smooth experience for Day 2. Congrats on the launch and looking forward to future updates!

I was a big fan of Floobits a few years back. Tuple and Screen.so are great, but we have devs split between VSCode, vim 8, and Neovim, with different configurations. I would definitely pay for cross-editor collaboration that works.

I’ll give this a shot tomorrow with some friends and see how it goes!

I think it’s more that recruiting is a sales job, often with a commission attached to it. I wouldn’t say that Amazon is “desperate for business,” but they still emailed me every few weeks about moving our business into AWS.

I often comment on my own PRs to explain alternatives or tradeoffs I considered. These aren't necessarily worth capturing in permanent documentation or TODOs, but can share knowledge or build confidence that I've considered various angles that might come up in a review.

I'll also call out places where I'm not happy with the implementation, looking for feedback, etc.

Most companies define their process as something like Phone Screen (recruiter) -> Technical Screen (engineer via phone or take-home project) -> On-Site (mix of culture + tech). Triplebyte helps you skip those first two steps.

I agree that the terminology could be more clear, but it seems like they borrowed existing lingo from recruiters here.

I like it - great work!

I like your design choices here. Did you use an off-the-shelf theme, a toolkit like Bootstrap/Tailwind, or is it all custom?

Not the parent, but as a hiring manager I would guess that you can implement UIs, make API calls, manage client-side data, work with a type system, etc. Those seem like pretty useful skills in modern client-side web development.

If you would want to make a move to backend/full-stack, you might need to pick up skills like databases, queues, caching, building APIs, and DevOps. But good companies are willing to bet that you can pick up new skills on the job if you have some sort of foundation.
