Hah, was thinking the same. There really is an opportunity to build a site out of this need. Not revolutionary, but a niche one can own

I love this! Semi-related, I was just fiddling with a Firefox extension this morning to flip Python 2 documentation results with those of Python 3 (usually also in the results, but lower on the page)

Build something that you wish you had, not what you think people need.

> The newly discovered parasitic fungus has now been given its official Latin name, Troglomyces twitteri.
It only took me until 35 to realize these official, scientific-sounding names are part useful, part researchers trolling us.

I began this during the covid-19 pandemic, mainly as a means of keeping myself sane.
It's targeted towards engineering managers, currently writing out my "Foundational" stuff -- things I live by as an engineering manager, the blend of people / process, and how to connect those in humane ways, while also taking care of yourself
As you can tell, I don't have my pitch down yet ;) It's still early days (only three articles, with intention to get one out every ~9 days), but it's been nice to get thoughts on paper

I'm learning how to build 3d environments using three.js, specifically react-three-fiber
Fun way to jump back into React while also learning new concepts!

Not saying I don't like it. :)

Yup, I dig this and I hope we see more of this as we enter another phase of mobile devices.
My iPhone 11, although a great phone, is unnecessary for me. I love its camera (for photos/FaceTime), everything else is superfluous. I am also terrified with dropping it.

G Adventures | Engineering Manager | Boston, MA | Full-time | On-site, remote friendly (Relocation possible)
G Adventures has been a world leader and innovator in sustainable adventure travel since 1990. We're a strong believer that tourism can be used to distribute wealth, and that's represented in how we operate as a company.
We're looking for an engineering manager to help grow our Product Systems team. This team focuses on building the systems which help our product teams build out the Itineraries, components, budgets, and costs associated with G Adventures tours. You'll drive a full stack team working in React and Python/Django.
We recently on-boarded two additional companies onto our systems as well, expanding our customer base (a challenge, but exciting!).
See more at https://www.keyvalues.com/g-adventures. If you're interested, email me directly (Director, Operational Systems) at [email protected]
