I am considering buying a Raspberry or a MiniPC to get started.Any tips and councils on how I should start?

I wish I had a marketing person to at least decide the subjects lol I am a freelancer now, I get paid to do that, maybe I can at least use SEO trending words to see what people like Anyway, the focus must be quality, not views But it's good to see your article appreciated and viewed, isnt it?

Ask HN: How do you find interesting topics to write about?

I've recently made a few articles, and one reached more than 100k views. Interestingly, it's the simplest and with the clickbait-ish title. It makes me mad that it was the one people loved the most.I don't want to create more clickbaits, I want to write good content that also attracts people. I am struggling with finding a good topic. Writers, how do you do it?

Hey, is the AWS account you are using inside an organization? If it's then all the billing information should go into the management account. Hope this is the issue and I could help you.

I've worked at startups and big tech companies and I am still trying to find what I consider "good". It is something that changes a lot during someone's life because one day you are single and don't have any kids, in the other you are a father and don't want to risk unstable companies.

As a naive student, I've tried to find the perfect company: good people, smart coworkers, humanized vision, challenging opportunities, career growth, etc. Today, the only thing I can guarantee is that you have to pick your poison.

Ask HN: Companies hiring remote worldwide and not paying less?

Nowadays, everyone wants a remote job because they are amazing.Unfortunately, some companies think it's fair to pay a worker less because he is living in a country in which the currency is devalued.Example: the company pays 120k USD to a worker living in United States, and pays 72k USD to another because he lives in India/Brazil/etc.What are some companies that are fair and pay the same amount...

Ask HN: What did you think about working at a FAANG?

Yesterday I met a friend who finished his interviewing process at Google. It's hard to explain how excited he is for the results, which may arrive in a few weeks. For some people, like him, this is more than a job opportunity because it's also his way to move to London and run away from our messed up country.I've started thinking if I should try it too. I have a solid competitive programming...
