An alternative to instagram and facebook. No ads and a focus on your friends instead of an explore feed that keeps you endlessly scrolling.

This is the real reason why people like remote work.

That’s certainly one way to live life, although certainly not the only way. Many people use tech as a path to financial independence. There’s a running joke/groan that the FIRE sub is filled with software engineers making 6 figures.

I both like to code but am lazy enough to hate the monotony of doing the same thing over and over. While I do use AI regularly, I also use an extensive collection of code generators that are deterministic that help me skip past the boring part. Doing something novel (to me) is fun, creating a form UI for the 1000th time is not very fun.

If already open sourced, would love a link!

My wife went completed the Google UX Cert on a faster schedule (couple months I think) and she really enjoyed it. She did a lot of searching and looked at university/college online programs in UI/UX and even signed up for one, but found the quality horrible and cancelled. The Google program she thought was much higher quality, although ultimately you get out of it what you put in.

I met my wife on a dating app, and we would have 100% never met without it. She is from Central America and happened to be visiting the US for a month. We went on a date, and then two and then three. Her one month stay turned into a five month stay.

We did long distance back and forth for ~2 years and then got engaged and married and now she lives with me in the US.

I’ve been using Octal for multiple years and really like it. I am primarily a reader, rarely a poster, and it seems to do the job well enough.

See my other comment above, but I was able to share basically everything that was not UI code. Types, request hooks, utils, configs/constants. Probably about 60% of the app, and you wouldn’t want to share UI code anyway because web and Native are so different.

And using objects to do the same thing in JS

8 hours of sleep minimum. No drinking or smoking. Exercise regularly. Be content with what I have. Enjoy the little things in life, laugh at life’s absurdities.

My favorite part of Reddit mobile on iOS is that when it prompts you to view in app, it redirects to the App Store, even though I have the app installed! Then when I open the app it doesn’t preserve the page I was trying to get to. So it doesn’t even work!
