I’m helping my (adult) son build a react-based web site. I wanted to show him how there are libraries and widgets that can make it a lot better. We hit on ant.design/ Very slick. Looks super full-featured. He was like a kid on a candy store.

I think there is a Dunning–Kruger like effect whereby the complexity of rewriting an open source project from scratch is vastly underestimated the less you know about the scope of the work.

You could make 80% of #inkscape in a couple of months of javascripting. But this is 80% of Inkscape's surface. Not actual depth.

Rewrite it all in #Qt? #React? #JS? #Rust? These are ideas aren't bad. But they are vast projects that would cost millions of dollars.

fellas, anyone #hiring #rust or #python junior developers?

I'm tired of trying over and over with these enormous hiring processes.

I might have a year of professional experience, but I've been developing and contributing to #foss for 6 years now.

I'm an advanced Linux user, having taken a sysadmin role before.

I'm a systems programmer, full stack web developer (I do #react too), backend developer, embedded engineer... really, I can take on whatever you throw at me!

"I recently tried to revive a simple React project from 2015. What should have been a quick update became a multi-day archaeology expedition.... Updating React required rewriting significant portions of the codebase. The solution? I converted it to static HTML and CSS. The entire process took about an hour, the site loads instantly, and it will run unchanged for years."

Hi, I'm Evan (he/any).

TLDR: I'm a privileged white hetero-cis-male politically #left #TriratnaBuddhist #SoftwareEngineer (#IHelpPeopleGetJobs) currently in #Seattle but planning to move to #AotearoaNZ or #Australia as so as we can manage it with my wife & 3 kids

I'm politically #left (at least in United States terms). I'm a #voting nerd in that I have a favorite voting-related textbook (Collective Decisions and Voting by Nicolaus Tideman).

I think we could mostly solve #gerrymandering by making larger districts with ~5 representatives instead of just 1 and then using #SingleTransferableVote. That would strike a nice balance between local & proportional representation. For single-person positions, like presidents/governors/mayors, STV becomes #RankedChoiceVoting (aka #InstantRunoffVoting aka #AlternativeVote) which eliminates the spoiler effect and leads to more civil campaigns.

Plus, #RankedChoiceVoting eliminates the need for primaries and runoffs, which can lead to significant cost reductions.

I'm training for ordination with the #TriratnaBuddhist Order (#dhamma, #dharma, #Buddhism) and have been for many years. It's a long process, especially with other things going on. I've done some kind of #meditation (mostly #anapanasati) every day for over 3 years and more sporadically since 2006.

That said, I do take issue with some of the things the founder (Sangharakshita) did, and I'm concerned with a recent rise in sort of guru worship around. I can have gratitude for his explanation of the dharma, try to sort out the idiosyncratic bits, and still view him as a deeply flawed human being.

I write #software for http://indeed.com (job search site) (previously employed by Amazon). I've written a lot of #database-backed #webservices in #Java, but in the last few years, I've been working on #microfrontend platforms in #JavaScript & #TypeScript, primarily supporting #React. I have more knowledge about #Webpack #ModuleFederation than anyone should be cursed with. I'd love to try #SolidJS, #RustLang seems really cool, and I'm excited about the future of #WebAssembly.

My wife & I have fantasized about moving to #AotearoaNZ or #Australia since well before the pandemic, and now we're actively trying make it happen. Since we're both in high-demand professions (she's a nurse), I think it should go reasonably smoothly 🤞. Feel free to get in touch with job opportunities that offer visa sponsorship, suggestions for #kiwiana or Australian culture that will help us adapt, reasons that your city is the best, etc. I always blow on the pie when I wear my jandals to the dairy. If we ship things over, I can only hope that the front doesn't fall off the boat. I hear that only rarely happens.

My daughter Juniper was born at the beginning of 2020, so her experience of life and my experience of parenthood are both tightly linked to the pandemic. On the upside, I get to work remotely, which means I get more time with her. She's a lot of fun (and of course a lot of work).

Then, we had our twins Heath & Magnolia (Noli) in September 2023, and our lives got even more hectic and full of love.

Juniper goes to a Waldorf school, and I wish I could go, too, but I think the adult version of Waldorf school might just be therapy.

HEY ALLEZ C'EST FINI LES VACANCES !

Time for a new #introduction:

Hi, I'm Michael and I’m on a #jobsearch.

For the past ten years I’ve been a full stack #webDeveloper for a company in #Nashville that sells #prepping supplies.

They went from a startup to a well-established brand, then the economy started collapsing.

I love working with #vue and #nuxt, but I’m great with #react and pretty much any modern #js framework.

Open to #remoteWork in the US and local in-office work in the #nashvilleTN area.

@simon honestly, this is one of the reasons I chose SolidJS over Svelte when I switched from React.

Things in SolidJs are closer to vanilla javascript, so naturally interoperate better. I can import state or derived state from anywhere and it works.

I also had issues in Svelte with Vanilla Extract which is a build time css library.
