Someone didn’t read the article. She addresses exactly this.
I can already hear the trolls making jokes about women being concerned about breaking a nail. If it’s so inconvenient, why not just have short nails? Well, I’m not out here wearing long nails for fun. Being a reviewer often means acting as a part-time hand model for whatever gadget I’m testing. The Internet Nail Police has repeatedly shown up in my comments over the years if my polish is chipped or, god forbid, there’s a smudge of dirt under my natural nail.
Oh cool, I’ll have to switch. I’ve been using Arc for a few months now and really like it, but would rather move away from chromium. I’d been using Firefox for years before that
Damn. Good point.
The Word of Wisdom, which outlines the health guidelines of not drinking alcohol and using tobacco, as well as eating less meat, eating more grains; was originally just as the name suggests, words of wisdom.
Joseph Smith drank wine, used tobacco, and drank coffee up to his death.
It wasn’t until the early 20th century when it started to be treated as a commandment. This is around the time when they started codifying a lot of doctrine, stopped practicing polygamy, and started to function more like a mainstream religion and less like a cult.

But guys, if we use agile then we don’t need requirements! We just make something and then the customers tell us if we are on the right track, we just get to iTeRaTe
Getting started is always the hardest part. Once you’ve done some good work you can start relying more on word of mouth and charge more.
I would recommend doing some small jobs on Fiverr or Upwork. Contracting isn’t for everyone, nor is running a small business. Fiverr and Upwork will be pretty disconnected from your local contacts so if you mess up or decide it’s not for you then it’s easier to leave.
Ultimately it’s networking, instead of rolling your eyes when an acquaintance has an app idea you can offer to help.
Once I learned about http files I never went back. It’s so easy to share and use, I primarily use JetBrains but there are extensions for VSCode that do the same thing that I have used as well.
That really depends on the culture of the company and your mindset. If you think it is going to be hell it is going to feel like hell.
You work more with people and less with computers, but ultimately you are still working on solving problems. Instead of inside code on a computer it is inside a team within a larger organization.

The community is still small but you can ask questions and there are some good resources there already.
Lots of VC funding?
Probably. They might have gotten additional discounts off of the advertized price by talking with sales and committing to the service for a year or other ways.
Looks like there has at least been a small team working on ffmpeg for some time. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFmpeg#History
Yup exactly. How do you define successful anyway? It’s say that Lemmy is already successful and it’s likely to continue to grow.
It’s unlikely Lemmy will ever be more successful than Reddit, but it doesn’t need to be.
Edit: to clarify, I’d like help with how to ask them to tell me their usual contractor rate
You ask them and then they will tell you or not. If the say “based on experience”, then ask for a range for an engineer with your similar experience.
They might not want to tell you. They want to get you for as cheap as possible, which is way everyone on this thread is telling you how to estimate a rate.
You might be able to find other contractors for them on LinkedIn and ask them, but they are also unlikely to tell you and might inform their client that you did it.
Oh wow! That is really cool. I used Google Bard for a bit and liked it because it included some web links, but I found the answers not as good as ChatGPT(especially GPT4), this looks like the best of both worlds.
I love your advice. The most rewarding moments of my career have been mentoring and coaching engineers.
Just moved to management and your last sentence hurts. I’m in meetings for 25-30 hours a week and I definitely think it’s work. But for a dev I definitely believe in the Maker’s Schedule.
VPNs are super common for business reasons. A lot of business travelers are going to use a VPN to access files and services only available on their network.
Using a big VPN might be risky; a self-hosted VPN should be less risky. I’d avoid torrenting though, even legal torrents.
Can you ask your IT department their recommendations?
