Hi HN, I'm just about to get started with my job hunt. I'm available from 01 Jan 2026 on out. I'm looking for a full-time position.

Thank you. That means a lot. I hope to fully finish it by the end of the month as it's still riddled with small bugs. But feel free to fork it: https://github.com/danielterwiel/terwiel.io

Should be as easy as updating all data in the data/ folder and you can get your own version. Mind you: getting the SVG logos right is the hard part

Currently working on my resume website to make it easier to get a sense of what type of developer I am: https://www.terwiel.io/

Also working on a GxP-compliant, offline-first, real -time synced QMS, but I’ve put that on hold in favor of optimizing my resume.

Reminds me of "move 37" made by Alpha Go:

> Michael Redmond noted that AlphaGo's 19th stone (move 37) was "creative" and "unique". It was a move that no human would've ever made Lee took an unusually long time to respond to the move. An Younggil called AlphaGo's move 37 "a rare and intriguing shoulder hit" but said Lee's counter was "exquisite". He stated that control passed between the players several times before the endgame, and especially praised AlphaGo's moves 151, 157, and 159, calling them "brilliant".

This is outrages! Musk is a censoring tsar and a grave danger for Free Speech.

Furthermore: my Twitter feed currently consists for 10% of dead bodies. Reminds me of some gore websites I'd used to watch as a child.

Same here. Super happy with Arc. It's very well designed. It solves a lot of annoyances I had with profile management in other browsers

Looking forward fiddling with this!

Great move to open source this. 250 dollar was a fair price, but this way more people can enjoy Remix and thus the web will advance.

“Fully decentralized”

Domainname: vervel.app

Vervel has centralized control to shut your app down. This is not decentralized.

This is why tax avoidance is a bad thing. Governments can accelerate innovation with stimulations like this.

While booking in fact got rid of 25% of their workforce

It’s fantastic to see the impact Wikipedia still has. Jimmy Wales and his team can be proud of what they have achieved.

I think this is awesome! Its Dutch counterpart brought me great insights on a wide range of topics.

Very well put, Sir. :) Cheers

I'd rather see actual numbers about the flow of Amazon employees who get promoted in stead of a website with their good intentions.

Apart from that: do not think that I care about the party you're on and which political person you're against. I live thousands of miles away from your country. I only care about the idea. And the idea of getting payed $7.25 in the US seems like a preposterous way of life.

But I don't have the illusion I'm able to change your mind overhere, so I'll stop wasting my time with it. I believe in the free market, but without certain rules (like a reasonable minimum income) people and organisations are able to take advantage in a way that gets out of balance which the free market won't ever get the chance to ever fix.

I believe people working in Amazons warehouses ended up in a situation they did not want to end up in the first place.

Adam Smith (writer of The Wealth of Nations, you might have heard of it) pointed out that forcing individuals to perform mundane and repetitious tasks would lead to an ignorant, dissatisfied work force. For this reason he advanced the revolutionary belief that governments had an obligation to provide education to workers.

I think that when you get payed $7.25 an hour you have to work so many hours that there's no way you have spare time to educate yourself to get out of that situation.

Amazon is an example of capitalism gone a tad bit too far. The market is only self correcting to a certain point.

It's great that Amazon (not only Bezos, but all the stakeholders that agreed with this step) is acknowledging that people deserve a decent pay.

I don't agree. I think satire, which this can be perceived as, is a means to achieve people to get to change their mind. Making fun of people on terms of race, age, gender, anything they cannot do anything about, is not something I agree with doing. But come on, this guy was squeezing out people who ended up in the situation where they had to work in warehouse packing boxes.

If you pay your employees $7.25 you deserve to be made fun off at least. Jeff Bezos recently also said Amazon deserved being scrutinised. I'm not saying this is what triggered them, but sometimes you have to take a strong position in order to be listened to.

Does anyone have any experience with https://superhuman.com/ ? It is supposed to be very nice

I like LinkedIn because it gives me a sense of how the market is doing. As a Dutch developer, I get messages just about every single weekday. Especially last year it's been crazy: I've had 3 recruiters in 20 minutes. Unfortunately employers are more willing to pay (multiple) recruiters than to just increase salary to snatch developers from lower paying employers. The free market is not working that well for us developers if we keep giving recruiters the chance to act as intermediaries. Out of principle I only deal with employers directly or in-house recruiters. I'm not saying they're all bad, but I've seen a lot of them who approach Javascript devs for Java positions and visa versa... they add no value in the next step of your career.

I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for that insight!!

I use the term DLT as, for example, DAGs are not exactly blockchains if I'm not mistaken. They have no blocks, just transactions. It had nothing to do with permission.

Great to see these young guys attempting to tackle these huge problems out of their believe that they can make "the world a better place". Not sure DLT will live up to its promise, but these guys truly believe the world is better off with trustless systems. And I cannot blame them, intermediaries, wether it be Google or Facebook, standing in between the user and the content creators, or banks, standing between creditors and debitors, haven't got the best reputation. A lot has gone wrong overthere, but I'm afraid DLT will bring entirely new problems to the table that we cannot forsee at this point. So I'm curious what the future will bring.

Indeed. I'm inspired by Rutger Bregman who famously states in his book Utopia For Realists:

> "It's more expensive to sustain poverty than it is to eradicate it"
