I'm on an iPhone 13 mini and got the battery replaced this year - hoping to get another three years out of it.

Hey everybody!

Been working with my cofounder on a proptech play (https://gotopright.com), and we've gotten some feedback from industry experts that homeownership assistance programs could be a useful thing to expose to average borrowers.

It's pretty early but wanted to get everybody's feedback. It's live on our homepage so feel free to play around with it!

Hello everybody! I've scaled a data engineering team at my current company from just myself to 10 people over this past year. As part of that effort, I designed our internal technical interviewing loop for data engineers, and candidates who've tried it out have said it's both challenging and refreshing. I looked at interviewing solutions on the market when I looked at technical screens and didn't find anything targeting late hiring funnel that I liked, so I'm thinking there might be opportunity here for a side hustle. If you have preferences on your ideal hiring setup for data engineers, sign up and let me know!

This looks awesome, thanks for building this! I really like how it's hosted on serverless stuff and therefore we can use it for long-running personal projects and MVPs.

Makes sense; thanks so much for the explanation!

Are there material differences between wireless and wired Internet w.r.t. infrastructure? Is wired Internet easier to trace or something? I'm not too familiar with computer networks, but I thought that they would be the same.

I've used HTTP/2 SSE for TinyDev (docs.tinydevcrm.com) and I've encountered the need for a reverse proxy and the unidirectional dataflow to be kinda eh, even if it is great in theory. I haven't played around too much with WebSockets though, but IMHO money + traction carries a good deal of weight.

Thanks for sharing! You might have more experience than I do in this sector, I've mostly written tests for tools/projects I've owned for a number of years and that might be why it appears more self-documenting to me. I try to write tests that are relatively clean. By contrast I've also had to maintain Confluence wikis as documentation and I've found it much more difficult, same with versioned Markdown documents and the like. Auto-generated documentation might be a sweet spot, though I don't have experience on that front yet.

I think regexes may have a steep learning curve, but IMHO it's well-worth the effort in order to learn. Pythex is pretty great at learning regexes and once you learn them you have a pretty powerful tool at your disposal for a number of matters.

After months of really bad audio in teleconferencing calls, hearing crisp keyboard playback was a refreshing experience. Highly recommend to check out the demo!
