Yeah studying for a B.Sc. While working full-time is not as easy as I thought

I love San Francisco and I love living in Mission

I'm looking for a strong front-end focused developer. Contractor for milestone-based project(s). React/TypeScript/Tailwind. Budget is ~$5-6k/month. Preferably in Italy, but open to all EU.

I’m in SF on a regular work visa, and I’m still terrified. If someone had told me beforehand the level of fear and pressure I’d experience during the visa and immigration process, I wouldn’t have believed them.

I'll never get used to kg<>lbs conversion. I tried ordering 200kg of salmon for lunch

Nice ragebait I almost fell for it

Level of frustration being forced to write frontend code: doing LeetCode in Rust just to decompress

No way my B.Sc. tutor is called Haskell What a badass name!

Ended up in a very nice tech dinner in San Francisco explaining the borrow checker at 10pm. This city is crazy! Love it

I'm willing to pay a Philosophy student (major) or professor for one hour of chatting a week. I want to cover nihilism and existentialism/absurdism, and I need some guidance. If you know anyone who'd be interested, please connect the two of us! 🙏

I gave Cursor a try for a month. Sure, I shipped fast, but I also felt like I was getting dumber, lazier, and realized I knew way less about my own codebase than I thought. Back to manual coding, at least for now.

I read “Metamorphosis” by Kafka twice: once at 15 for school and again now at 30. How the hell is a 15yo supposed to understand this book??

I'm doing it online (sadly) 'cause I live far from the Campus, plus they turned my >12yr experience, patents, and book into a bunch of credits, so I'm starting with a good advantage 😂 I am honestly SUPER excited 'cause I love academia, I love studying, and that's my ultimate source of happiness

My third patent has been published - waiting for a decision in about three months! Performing vector search in content delivery networks. It’s a fun one!

I'm starting my B.Sc. at the end of this month, just got the full degree plan and I can't wait 🥹

The crazy thing about vibe coding is that even tech influencers now can ship something

It's a hard pill to swallow: there's no 10x engineer. We're all just too used to mediocre engineers we call "senior" because of their time spent at work rather than output quality. When we finally meet a real senior engineer, we think they're a 10x eng. They're "just" actual senior engineers.

The fact that products like Terraform, Pulumi, SST etc. exists is a testament to how fucked up AWS is

It's one of those days when I am very happy to have moved to the US!

Today just hasn't been a good day on several fronts, but one thing in particular today is just heartbreaking.

Wait, so if I order my coffee on a screen with zero interaction with the barista, I still have to tip 20%? What the fuck?

Which app is that? 👀

No book will ever be as insightful as “The Gay Science” by Nietzsche, but “The Myth of Sisyphus” gets really close

After years of local development... why the fuck do I need a Docker desktop app (which sucks)???

We finally crossed 100k downloads per week on npm!
