Like candidate had made a mistake while writing a resume. I have never seen a manager who knows it exists and the difference between.
+1 for Debian. More significant community - faster fixes.
Re:Ask HN: Are you still programming for fun? on Sunday March 13, 2022 @05:56AM (#30659749)
Yes, I'm still programming for fun by doing pets, and I always try to get some fun from my payable work. It's the only way to move on being a programmer, as I think.
Another link that needs to log in to read an article. Terrible.

I'm afraid there is nothing public we can trust in today's world. We see how big companies are just throwing away their users and data. So, watch to pass (CLI password manager) or KeePassXC as they sync nothing but store local, which means they can't beat you.

Looks good! Consider adding instructions to install it with https://github.com/pypa/pipx to not scare people not familiar with python dependency management.
Re:Show HN: Sections – Easy tree data structures in Python on Saturday March 12, 2022 @03:29AM (#30649934)
Excellent, I definitely will use it for some CLI tools.
Awesome! Also, it would be great to add a release on GitHub. So we can watch only releases on your repo and be notified on every new version.
Hmm, try to combine your OpenSource with your work. Ask your boss to make something for OpenSource as peace of your regular job. Try to sell him OpenSource. It should be something small in the beginning. After some time, you'll be working on projects more and more, and it will become a regular part of your paid job.
Re:Ask HN: Examples of great About sections on LinkedIn? on Saturday March 12, 2022 @02:54AM (#30649782)
It's hard to say, and it depends on who you are. I believe that links to your work are better than some marketing slogans. I mean something like: - Creator of example.com - Invented MyFramework framework https://github.com/user/myframework - Blogger at https://medium.com/user etc.

Re:GitHub's Copilot Still a Long Way from Autopilot on Wednesday October 20, 2021 @05:01AM (#28928419)
It was obvious there was too much marketing and too small an engineering part in this product from the beginning.
Re:Ask HN: Should I go from big tech to a startup? on Thursday September 09, 2021 @04:08AM (#28467430)
I'm sure you are wrong -- you'll not be less attractive, moreover, I think you'll be more attractive because you'll have had both working experiences: small and big companies. As for me I'm definitely not receiving fewer job offers now, after the jump.
Just use "offline" tools like httpie. Pretty good interface. My experience suggests that a relatively small number of engineers need to work with more than 5-10 requests at a time. So you can just store commands in some text file or just using shell history search.

When I was faced with the same choice, I just had thought that I just need to try to compare. There are plenty of big companies with great salaries, so I could always come back.

Without being competitive there won't be growth.
