> Also it has a picture of an avocado and no data about avocados.

If you're referring to the middle left picture in SF, that's actually a plum from Vacaville, CA: https://pomological.art/watercolors/POM00005135.

There's some code to prefer the produce you select, but there really aren't that many unique fruits in the collection; just lots of varietals of the same fruit.

https://pomological.art/watercolors is pretty neat. You can see that there's 3788 apple drawings, far more than any other, and it quickly dies down to 959 peaches and 445 pears. For any given region, there's only like ~7 unique fruits to draw from.

Full stack product web engineer with 10+ years of experience focused on delivering business value. Have worked at Rippling, Facebook Ads, and Flexport. My sweet spot seems to be hardening B2B SaaS apps from the "tech demo" stage into a robust product, but that is a starting point, not a constraint. I have delivered value to smaller companies, larger companies, and consumer facing companies too.

In the middle of a few virtual onsites, but can squeeze in one or two more, I think.

I will second git-spice. It does exactly what you want and, importantly, no more than that. There's no upsell to anything else; it's "just" a good tool that knows its purpose and boundaries.

Note that I am currently on holiday, and will not be responding to reachouts or updating my woefully outdated LinkedIn profile until Monday, July 13th.

I'm a heavy user of git-spice: https://abhinav.github.io/git-spice (created by a former coworker) and can't really go back to a time without it. While still not nearly as good as Facebook's Phabricator, it's probably the best workflow for small, focused stacked PRs you can achieve in a Github / Gitlab based repository.

I was Triplebyte's first engineering placement. I still remember going to a random SoMa apartment with Harj and Ammon and Guillaume and coding up tetris in ruby, having no prior experience with game loops. That landed me a job with Flexport in 2016. I doubt that I would have gotten that placement without Triplebyte. So I am quite grateful that they existed, for jumpstarting my early career.

With that said, when it came time to look for a job again a few years later, I did chat with Triplebyte but ultimately took an offer through other contacts that I had built up by then.

Hi, I'm Michael. Product developer. Formerly at Facebook and Flexport. Full stack, but recent projects have been more frontend focused. Preference for slightly boring problems that provide real business value.
