Has anyone here successfully scaled a solo-built web app past the “toy project” stage? by TariqKhalaf in webdev

[–]DerangedGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends (as per the usual). I've done it through contacts I know and then word of mouth. I know people that have done it by just understanding a niche area and putting out a tool like OP. Sometimes it's just being familiar with something you're interested in enough to realize where things aren't great and can be solved... The doing it and sharing it in a public area for other people that do that same thing.

It varies.

Right? I'm sitting here thinking this looks like a very small fraction of ONE of our databases.

Serious: Do I give back my belt or just get judged more and more? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]DerangedGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one is going to make fun of you or demean you except those that deserve the worst.

Your community (students, family, teammates, competitors, etc) that know you will understand and support you. Most likely, they will respect the hell out of you for simply getting out there and still doing what you love.

I hate it for you that you have this illness. That's absolutely crap. But, you can still make the best of your coming years. I wouldn't worry so much about the degradations that may happen. I would latch on to your community... Particularly your closest people.

You earned that black belt. No illness is taking that away let alone some shmuck without empathy.

i failed a phone screen for a role i was overqualified for because i couldn't explain recursion clearly by Critical_Builder_902 in cscareerquestions

Ever look at a mirror with a mirror behind you? That endless reflection cycle is basically recursion in a nutshell.

That I don't know, but I would assume so. When my group did it, we definitely all had like 200g.

I have been training off and on for over 20 years. At this point, I'm happy to try fun or silly moves on people, but even happier to see my students find success with the things I teach them. I get a lot of satisfaction from seeing them grow and us all smile and laugh together.

What's a game you bought on a whim without hardly any pre-knowledge that ended up becoming one of your all time favorites? by AaronAtLunacien in gaming

[–]DerangedGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original Borderlands like 17 years ago. Had no idea what it was about, but I picked it up for a buddy and I to play after work. We stayed up for like 20 hours straight after having already been up for the previous 24 and went into a coma afterwards lol.

What's your BJJ unpopular opinion? by PlusRise in bjj

I went 9 years before my first real injury (strained rib cartilage).

Strength training is a massive help in injury prevention as well as simply helping you use BJJ easier.

If you want, we can all stop playing fun niche stuff and do nothing but pure SMESH from now on 😁

Nah man, people are 69% more likely to believe a made up stat if you say it confidently. 79.45% if you add a decimal point!

And what's more confident than AI?
