That's something I hadn't thought of. Thanks

Ask HN: Finding complimentary technical people

Any suggestions on how to find a technical person for a project?I'm working with a couple people but we need someone with React skills to compliment the group.It's a niche product in a profitable industry where we have contacts who will give feedback. We'd all get paid if we can sell the product.I've spread the word through friends and coworkers. Any other ideas?

You just earned $9.99 from me! Don't spend it all in one place!

Many great things to consider in this thread. Many thanks to you and others that put their thoughts down.

Ask HN: How to be independent as a developer?

I'd like to 'do my own thing' yet don't know how. I'd like the 'thing' to be entrepreneurial along the lines of: this was hard to do before and now it's easy vs this is brand new/revolutionary.What's the best way to meet someone who has a problem that needs to be solved? Alternately how do you meet someone with a complimentary skill set that has similar goals? Any intermediate steps I should...

I agree. Another example, Linus T wrote git from scratch to hosting the Linux kernel in 2.5 months. I'd say 10x is a low estimate.

I've worked with a guy who wrote great code like he was typing an email.

Everyone has a ceiling of the complexity of problems they can handle, some programmers are outliers in this regard.

Thanks for checking it out!

Good question, this is slightly different than lru_cache in that it persists to disk so it retrieves from the cache even when you rerun the Python interpreter.

Also it gives you a bit of flexibility as when to refresh the cache and to use or ignore function parameters. I often make a change in one 'group', db data for example, and am able to just refresh those methods that gather data from the db.

This was born out of necessity as data comes from multiple systems and takes around 4 minutes per run. Now I can iterate in like 5 seconds

Not something I seen, a decorator used only for development that is deployed in production.

Thoughts?
