Gotcha. And that makes sense for the purpose of the project. Should one have multiple instances of sqlite dbs, what strategies exist to keep them synced?

What are realistic bottlenecks to expect from a backend like this? Eg. a web app serving users that write posts simultaneously

This is what I'm getting at: It's an easy market for the domain expert to be great at. How hard can it be? With the added criticism that I see little value in less competent people doing it.

I agree, most don't. And I believe even larger part of recruiters don't understand either. You can make a choice but C is extracting a share from the transaction. And if not in your particular case, they are doing so in the large share of recruiting.

Ask HN: How can engineers profit from tech recruitment

Posted by WM6v on Friday December 09, 2022 @03:40AM
from the ask-hn dept.

How can an engineer capture some of the value from the tech recruitment market? It seems to me engineers are used as goods that are traded between people who don’t understand tech or the market. It's exploitative and opportunistic — how can a random person just show up in LinkedIn and start trading engineers and extract value from their major life choices?Engineers understand the technology and...

Re:Tell HN: SendGrid doesn't allow small business to its platform on Tuesday June 14, 2022 @08:41AM (#31738462)
I understand it's a sensitive business for bad actors. My goal is to start a conversation on how I could reach them or what alternatives there exists.

Tell HN: SendGrid doesn't allow small business to its platform

from the self-post dept.

I tried signing up to SendGrid to use it for my product. I tried signing up with a VPN and it flagged my signup to suspicious. I tried again without a VPN and got into a limbo of waiting to get the account accepted. All with legit business details. Didn't get one email about it after months. I have been trying to contact their support or sales but they won't even allow contacting sales when...

This indiehacker scene is getting weird. People copying Pieter Levels to the pixel chasing some passive income dream.

Some of this junk leaks to HN because the style is literally targeted to the crowd. But these little projects lack depth under the emojis and the cool attitude.

Think for yourself too. You are literally copying everything Levels and the cult are doing. Sprinkling it with emojis, the ridiculous button in the footer. You don't have to do that.

Re:Ask HN: How is your standing desk working for you? on Wednesday July 26, 2017 @11:37AM (#14857131)
I like that I'm not just sitting all day. But I can't focus hard while standing. My feet become restless.

For me there's a huge difference in focusing while standing and while sitting. I start the day with emails and busy work while standing and sit after I really start to dig in to a problem that needs focus.

If you want anyone to get interested, post screenshots or a gif in action.
Re:Workspaces for Mac 1.0 on Thursday May 25, 2017 @03:44AM (#14415909)
I want to be able to go in to "work mode" by clicking a button (typing a command). How would you go about writing a script on MacOS that you can run to open your "work mode" programs? Preferably on different virtual desktops and set window sizes? For example: Slack and Mail on one desktop, Chrome with specified tabs on another.
