Re:Ask HN: What sites do you use to find Tech Jobs? on Tuesday June 13, 2017 @12:35PM (#14546079)
LinkedIn is probably the most direct. I don't like stack overflow although you get contacted for available jobs, no recruiter spends more than 10secs to watch you profile and see if you remotely match the position. 8 out of 10 that contacted me were about positions that were simply bad the requirements were an total mess ( like that doesn't happen everywhere, but whatever ) and lets just don't get started on the startup culture of every company with an profile on that site.
Re:Ask HN: Salaries for non-engineering roles? on Saturday April 29, 2017 @04:53AM (#14225655)
Look at Glassdoor, I'm not in US but I believe those roles are paid more than plain engineering roles. People in those roles you mentioned take more responsibilities and direct impact on company growth and earnings.

Re:Ask HN: How quickly do web dev skills become obsolete? on Thursday April 27, 2017 @06:38AM (#14210496)
I would say if an web developer does not follow updates for 3 months he/she is a bit outdated, in 6 months out of web development and you try to make an comeback you will find it very difficult to catch up. 1year or more out there are entirly new stacks, new libraries, new versions, new ways of building things etc.

It not necessary to keep writing stuff following trends you just have to follow updates, newsletters, articles, so you dont struggle when you reenter the market.

> 20/mo as this is cheaper by several magnitudes than the self-hosting option.

exactly this, even the cheapest cloud instances cost around 100$/m, while some might be 20$/m it's just not worth the effort to host your own because it also needs management/maintenance if you do which translates in to hours of work. Yes you can automate these things but it simply not worth it when the only thing you want to do is sent mass emails, without even caring about anything besides configuration to connect to XYZ service.

So can we experience the scene with Sandra and Stallone in Demolition man in the future or no?
be optimistic as Elon Musk, I mean remember the Facebook satellite launch with SpaceX ? nah who remembers that stuff, let's all connect our last place of privacy with an computer how bad can it get ?
