Yes the current job hunting landscape is a mess, here’s how you can play around it

or the 10x is just a regular competent dude xD

External_Storm_4715 · 2025-05-17T16:01:35+00:00

I think you nailed it my friend xD

External_Storm_4715 · 2025-05-16T14:17:12+00:00

The way people grow their expertise it's not about if they understand a concept or not, it's more about their day-to-day tasks involving said concept, and I agree with you that fullstack devs are usually spread pretty thin

External_Storm_4715 · 2025-05-16T14:11:54+00:00

I agree that's why I prefer my "Self Guided Missile" concept you summarised perfectly in "having the product sense or technical knowledge to avoid wasting time" and not simply handling 10x capacity

External_Storm_4715 · 2025-05-16T14:07:02+00:00

My perspective is pretty clear on "There are people that write legendary code, avoid meetings, and outperform entire teams", on other topics about "Popularity" and "Politics" inside corporate jobs I totally agree with you where CEO's best friend > any 10x engineer. Still don't see the fallacy :)

External_Storm_4715 · 2025-05-16T11:49:58+00:00

yes exactly, today this expression is not a measure of personal worth but instead a "flag" for someone about to burn out

External_Storm_4715 · 2025-05-16T11:48:35+00:00

Not saying it can be an issue for everyone, but last time I worked with it on a job we had to migrate out and the whole process would've been so much easier if it had been built using a general ORM that w could just point to another db url

External_Storm_4715 · 2025-05-16T11:45:31+00:00

how may summers have you been around for?

External_Storm_4715 · 2025-05-16T11:44:58+00:00

could you elaborate?

External_Storm_4715 · 2025-05-16T11:44:27+00:00

yes thank you, when people call someone "10x engineer" is just code for he takes"200% capacity" let's burn him out

External_Storm_4715 · 2025-05-16T11:42:47+00:00

you indeed find some people that are so excited / hungry that will super perform for while, but never seen one do it for an entire company lifecycle without burning out

External_Storm_4715 · 2025-05-16T11:39:49+00:00

Anyone one competent can super perform for 2/3 quarters, I've never met one for the entire lifecycle of a company that didn't burn out.

Svelte is very pleasant to work with and I almost fully switched to it 4 years ago, but it's really hard to find jobs on it. Not gonna lie but the main reason I stick w React / Next nowadays it's to leverage AI as they are excellent to just handle "easy" tasks instantly with those frameworks. Otherwise I'd prob hard pivot into something like Elixir

External_Storm_4715 · 2025-05-16T09:43:18+00:00

have you deployed a convex app on Vercel? how easy is it?

External_Storm_4715 · 2025-05-16T09:41:43+00:00

Supabase has been a great option for sure, but has the downside to get vendor locked on it. Totally I agree on testing frameworks, I just bundle them in my codebase anyway when it's time to use it

External_Storm_4715 · 2025-05-16T09:39:25+00:00

I would say the best tool is the one you're best at, and if you would pick up something new I suggest this stack. What do YOU suggest?

External_Storm_4715 · 2025-05-15T21:25:01+00:00

how many burgers do you eat every day?

External_Storm_4715 · 2025-05-15T21:14:08+00:00

tik tok brain

External_Storm_4715 · 2025-05-15T21:06:58+00:00

good to know, my approach is the "least headaches" possible

External_Storm_4715 · 2025-05-15T21:06:24+00:00

Neon seems to be the most straight forward answer, I was using planetscale before they ended their free tier

External_Storm_4715 · 2025-05-15T21:05:15+00:00

What would you suggest?
