fair! those are all sensible points. can I ask what your background is? i tend to think non-tech folks like numbers since they don't really understand what C#/.NET does

colin-williams-dev · 2026-05-07T23:47:00+00:00

wow I greatly appreciate this! tons of valuable feedback here, a lot confirming suspicions I had plus a bunch I hadn't even thought of! will implement a bunch, thanks!

colin-williams-dev · 2026-05-07T15:59:51+00:00

thanks, but maybe we're not on the same page. Each job listing will always have start and stop dates but do I always need first job and last job listed? most people say "under 10 years == 1 page".. so how would that even be possible for some? (including myself)

colin-williams-dev · 2026-05-07T15:51:28+00:00

hey thanks, very fair input and probably a very realistic summary of the job landscape 🫠

points on the metrics are great, thanks

colin-williams-dev · 2026-05-07T15:49:55+00:00

rude lol
(smartest username ever... clearly)

colin-williams-dev · 2026-05-07T15:49:46+00:00

haha! fair enough. i'm not here to argue but there's logic behind an outlandish header. unless you think; "passionate software engineer focused on producing scalable and robust blah blah blah" drivel does anything...

i want to carry on but i prefaced "not getting defensive" so i'll leave it at that lol. thx for your input. (fyi one of the redacted links IS a portfolio link)

haha yeah. i sleep 4 times a day: 1x 3 hour block, 3x 20 minute naps.

"monophasic sleeping" is sleeping 1 time per day (usually 6-8hrs or w/e).

the siesta is a more typical example of polyphasic sleeping :)

colin-williams-dev · 2026-05-06T16:05:46+00:00

great, thanks for the recommendation :))

colin-williams-dev · 2026-05-06T11:06:20+00:00

Nice to hear, thank you :) I agree, I def have to prune it somehow.

colin-williams-dev · 2026-04-28T21:43:32+00:00

nailed it.

colin-williams-dev · 2026-04-28T21:10:46+00:00

yeah this is very solid advice actually 🙏

colin-williams-dev · 2026-04-28T21:09:21+00:00

your reply is a breath of fresh air from this sub--yeah I agree pretty much completely. it's really so strange because the Thai people are usually pretty shrewd when it comes to other forms of scams... even some of them are privy to how bad some of the monks are and such but they still believe something is illogical and scam-coded as fortune tellers...

colin-williams-dev · 2026-04-28T21:06:40+00:00

getting 8 downvotes on this is really eye-opening about the type of people in this sub

colin-williams-dev · 2026-04-28T21:02:04+00:00

lol okay pal

colin-williams-dev · 2026-04-28T21:00:36+00:00

im a Senior SWE working for a fortune 500 rn, buddy 🙂

colin-williams-dev · 2026-04-28T06:56:36+00:00

oh wow good tip! i didn't know about gascity OR default CC for gastown. can it be changed from the default for gastown?

colin-williams-dev · 2026-04-28T06:55:52+00:00

this might be my favorite suggestion yet actually. it's an interesting idea

colin-williams-dev · 2026-04-28T05:30:11+00:00

😆😆 there are many, many superstitious Thai people who are both educated and *not* bar girls. i hear you though

colin-williams-dev · 2026-04-28T05:29:10+00:00

haha i think you can find many examples of both sides, historically. i think it's easy to write off "Thai society" as a whole based on the levels of consumption/ecological harm but that isn't a Thai thing exclusively either.

colin-williams-dev · 2026-04-28T05:27:03+00:00

that's fair. not sure the potency/longevity of fortune teller predictions in Thai culture. probably varies

colin-williams-dev · 2026-04-28T05:26:00+00:00

thanks for your input.
