Thanks for the response, but I'm not following you. I'm not asking if I should take the director position or not, but what I should focus on to get a job at a FAANG. It seems like just grinding leetcode might not be the best course given that I'm a senior engineer.

I've thought about getting into the crypto space on-and-off for the last six months. Were there resources that really helped you with the transition? What would you recommend for someone with a lot of dev experience?

This is wonderful. Thank you.

I have questions about how much it would cost to get started in the way of tools, but I'd imagine the resources above will cover that, so I'll RTFM. I'm hoping it won't require my finding some old-school lathe from the 1950s...

I've wanted to dip my toe into the machining world. I have basic tools, mainly for routine home maintenance. Is there a book, website or course you'd recommend to get started?

I've started to dive into smart contract development, mainly to do contracting on the side. Do you think this is a viable path? How is the job market for dapp/block chain developers?

I've been closely following the recommendations by zoenolan, here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28333766

Are there other resources you'd recommend?

I'm curious what you've seen in your friends that would make them seem massively better. I've thought of trying out supermemo, so I'd like to hear how it's helped you.

Are you willing to field some questions via email?

Ask HN: Developing/selling Wordpress plugins

Posted by mofeeta on Sunday September 06, 2015 @01:35PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I'm thinking about getting into Wordpress development: specifically to develop a plugin (not themes, per se, since I'm more of a backend dev) that I could sell online. Anyone have experience in the Wordpress development arena? Pointers? Gotchas to avoid? Things to consider?

If this is really how things went down, then suing the city seems reasonable. The rest of your comment is a little over the top though, no? Have the police in question spend years in prison? The only good cop is a dead cop? I'd imagine the OP doesn't think this way given his usual, positive interactions with the SFPD.
