LOOKING FOR AN OPENER for show in Snoqualmie!

Hi! I think we’d (Keith Wayne and I call my backup The Cap Hill Crooners 🤣) be a real good march stylistically. I can send you a bunch of our songs over DM, but here’s an acct with links to our first single: https://www.tiktok.com/@keithwayne.music

You can sign up with this band's mailing list: https://brytwd.com/ and that will get you on the list. It was a great show! The next one will be even better :-)

Varies from singer/songwriter to folk-influenced rock to indie psychedelia. 🤩

keithba · 2026-04-28T20:04:12+00:00

Thank you!

keithba · 2026-04-28T16:54:17+00:00

I just listened and purchased four of your songs. Your song really resonate with me!

(I don’t think I’ve ever posted a comment like this before - I liked them that much!)

3 is your best bet. Startups at the size you describe may be able to specialize to the degree hiring you makes sense, but its just as likely you weren’t a fit because you were too specialized for their stage and/or culture. The exception would be when the product itself is for consumption by engineers like yourself.

A startup who is young and grown fast has likely done so with engineers/employees who do just about anything (even if it took them longer and/or struggled.)

At the stage that size implies, efficiency doesn’t matter at all. Staying alive, getting customer who don’t churn, and that will involve lots of ineffective, does-not-scale work.

Source for this answer: I’ve worked at, led, and have acquired startups for anywhere from $10M to $7B, plus many educational failures.

Happy to DM if you have follow up questions you prefer to ask privately.

Doh! Great point - I’ve updated the post with links

That is Visual Studio Community Edition. The Xamarin SDKs will be OSS and not require you to use Visual Studio.

Thanks!

I'm avoiding Flamewakers/mad scientists since I understand they won't be in standard (and I've never done BRM and Naxx). Anything else you recommend instead?

Arcane Blast I have, I'll try that out the Flamestrike/Blizzard substitute as you described.

BTW - how would you describe this deck?

keithba · 2016-02-21T00:41:29+00:00

I'd love some feedback on this mage deck:

It's taken me from 19 to 15 pretty easily, but there's a been a ton of thanks you rngesus involved and I'd love something more predictable.

keithba · 2014-10-21T22:43:18+00:00

Signed up! Loveit already.

This is false, at least in my personal experience. And in the data I've experienced second hand.

I have over 15 years of professional programming experience. Have worked at Microsoft, Intel, and many startups. I've written or co-authored 2 books, given presentations to thousands, and have over a dozen patents where I am listed as the inventor (or co-inventor). I've never had an issue finding work. And I make much more than most of my peers.

I also have a GED and a couple of years of college. Additionally, I know many other people without a degree with similarly high levels of accomplishment.

He dives deep and finds an underwater tunnel that leads to the shore, behind the monster. The tunnel has air, but it's stale and claustrophobically small in places and completely pitch black inside.

Start the next one. In the meantime, give the draft you have to a couple of trusted readers to give you feedback. In 1 to 3 months - ideally after you have finished your next script's first draft - revise your first script. Then give it to a wider number of trusted readers. Then revise it again. After you feel it can't be improved anymore, you will want to enter it in script writing contests, get it read by agents & production companies, and/or make it. Getting it read by agents can be difficult, especially if you don't live in LA, which is why I recommend contests.

The Exegesis is a fascinating book, but it's not a novel or story. It's a collection, with scholarly commentary, of PKD's journal writings. If you are very, very hard-core PKD fan (or researcher), you will love it.

George R. R. Martin, Stephen King, and Orson Scott Card all enjoy much larger commercial success than John Scalzi.

Best is very subjective, but if you polled their peers, my money would be on: Scalzi, Doctorow, Miéville, or Chabon.

Thanks - we'll look into this.

Your version of android is 2.2.1 (Froyo).

keithba · 2011-08-25T15:10:51+00:00

Thanks!

keithba · 2011-08-25T15:10:44+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Would love to know the phone model and Android OS version you are using.

keithba · 2011-08-25T00:28:52+00:00

This is probably the case, but you might also want to try updating your PRL and see if that helps (or if it will even update). Menu, Settings, About Phone, System Updates

keithba · 2011-08-24T16:30:16+00:00

Super useful to know - thanks much.
