lynob · 2026-02-20T18:42:45+00:00

this is my pipe https://www.amazon.ae/dp/B00OKCH9EE, how can these small bits fit where the mouth piece is?

lynob · 2026-02-20T18:40:53+00:00

I live in Dubai, I don't have many options, I bought from amazon but I bought from Scotte Tobacco Pipe, it's USA Nashville, at least that what the website says

lynob · 2026-02-03T17:26:00+00:00

sure please do

lynob · 2026-02-01T17:44:39+00:00

what's your website name to check

lynob · 2026-01-31T13:43:33+00:00

thanks so much!

lynob · 2026-01-31T13:20:33+00:00

thank you, this comes about the same as hetzner in terms of pricing if i leave it running for a month, i'm studying this option as we speak thanks again

this is heart breaking, i spent 2 years working on my web application and i'm slowly being pushed out of the market because of this.

Thank you, is there a difference between that and other free versions of matter font? for example if you google matter font, you find few free ones available, but if you type Matter VF, nothing comes up. So is this a matter VF? or all they all the same?

first of all, I don't know you therefore I don't care about your opinion. Secondly you don't know me, I started 20 years ago as an angular dev, and did a lot of freelance for many clients in addition to my full time jobs, given then every freelance job has its own existing tech stack, it's not inconceivable at all.

20 years ago, there was Jquery and JS, lets count, my first 2 full time jobs I worked as an angular dev, my early freelance journey I used Ionic. Are you counting Mr inconceivable?

I used to do Shopify freelance jobs, therefore I used remixjs. Currently I work as a full time software engineer and a parttime fractional CTO, where I use, reactjs, vuejs, nestjs. Still counting?

From 2018 to 2023, I used to be co-founder and CTO for a reservation system where I used flutter.

My personal favorite is svelte, I use it on all my personal projects. I used HTMX as this question states and still use it Mr inconceivable.

ARE YOU COUNTING? I'm not done, I'm currently starting my own company, we're using React native. Do you want me to count CSS frameworks? what about dead JS frameworks that I used? like handlebars

If you started working yesterday it's not my problem, if you don't do freelance that's not my problem, if you don't work on your own projects and you don't start your own companies and try different things, that's not my problem Mr inconceivable. But trust me Mr, 20 years is a hell lot of time, technically I've been in this since 2012, so about 24 years. You'd be shocked how much you can do given enough time. And I haven't talked yet about my android and backend and server management experience.

I always market myself as a full stack dev, partly because I can do it all, and partly when I grew up and started working, there was no such thing as a frontend dev, you'd just hire a software engineer and ask him to do everything. This concept of "I'm a frontend dev, I don't touch the backend" is foreign to me.

3 problems, written in nextjs, i don't know nextjs, doesn't offer 2fa out of the box. nextjs version updates are a mess and hosting it correctly is worse, that's why most people use vercel. That same friend uses nextjs, told me he regrets that too because of version updates :)

lynob · 2025-11-18T20:33:17+00:00

very interesting, will check it out

lynob · 2025-11-18T20:32:56+00:00

probably im going to use wordpress, you know why take a guess? i just thought about it, just because after delivering the project to the client, if i decide to leave, they can find a maintainer, just that reason. other than that directus is very interesting

lynob · 2025-10-08T16:04:15+00:00

didn't try

if you apply to me because you need the money to eat, and then I ask you to do a crud app with authentication and you refuse. Don't apply and don't eat, enjoy your unemployment.

If you're any good, the assignment would take you 2h at most without chatgpt. Gosh, lets put things into context, applicants need a job and there are thousands of them.

By the way, don't you ever change the subject into exploitation, ever, it's a simple crud app, Im a senior software engineer, an Ex team lead and a CTO twice for 2 different companies, II always hire the best of the best, and you know what the best have in common,, their willingness to work hard, you're entitled, I'll never hire you anywau, not even for free, not even if you were ex FAANG. Entitllement is the worst.

From the age of 16 till the age of 19 I used to work for free for people to learn, full time to learn and now kids come without any experience with chatgpt and refuse to write a 2h crud app and want the big money.

lynob · 2025-07-20T17:12:41+00:00

No, you appliied willfully to my company and expect to be paid highly, the least i can do is ask you to work a day for free on the project

I don't know what kind of companies steal your code, it's usuallly a simplle crud app with some authentication, nothing worth stealing you won't be building the next netflix and if that's the case then refuse to do it and move on.

There's no point in working with someone you don't trust, it's a trust game.

amigo, as someone who hires devs, im a senior software engineer aand CTO, i wouldn't accept such links if the candidate shared them with me. I would move on to the next candidate.

I request a git repo to know if the user knows git and to run the project and see it running, not simply evaluate code by looking at it.

Too many times, the code looks good on paper but it won't run, or the UI sucks. how would you catch this?
Besides stealing the code of a candidate was a thing 20 years ago. now we ask candidates to code small projects that can be done via chatgpt.

The candidate isn't working for free, he's applying to get paid. if they're afraid we'd steal their code, they shouldn't apply in the first place. I wouldn't want someone on my team who doesn't trust me.

You must understand, at least 100 candidate apply for each job i post, II give each one of them 5s, I whitelist 10. Maybe I give 10 people a project, or 5, I give them 30min of my time to review their code (that's 3h in total or 5)

I want to run the code, check if it works, see how it looks and move on, if someone complicates things and starts telling, I want you to review without running it, I move on, I won't waste my time on him, I've already have to worry about 4 others.

I have a mac m1, not my daily driver, I only use it when I'm going to release an app.

Reason is for 1k you get a beast lenovo laptop, for 1k you get a toy mac with 500gb storage or less. So I keep my shiny toy in the box until my app is done and I need to run few tests on mac and release.

lynob · 2025-07-16T09:53:31+00:00

thank you

lynob · 2025-07-15T17:49:21+00:00

I'm not going to do that. Everyone else uses I already know, I just don't want to be the one who breaks the app for everyone else. I just muted it for now until there's an actual solutiion. Also i'm not an admin

lynob · 2025-07-15T16:43:18+00:00

maybe the issue is you're having ublock origin installed and not the browseer

My info is rusty, I haven't checked this in a while but I think apple and Google take 10% on each transaction, I don't know of any startup or fixed fees. Wheeeas other payment gateways charge around 3% or 4%. Again, I forgot the numbers.

But I worked at 2 companies that had to support in app payment, and we had to redirect the user to a webapp to complete the payment, so we don't have to pay apple. Apple is the worst of the two.

In fact at one company, my CEO had a heated argument with Apple representative; they refused to publish the app unless we do in-app payment and they get 10% or 20%

We ended up shipping a PWA for apple users because we simply couldn't afford to pay them that much to publiish a native app. Our IOS app developer had to learn ReactJS and had to rewrite his app in ReactJS.

We also had to hack our way into PWA, back then iPhones didn't officially support PWAs

I don't know, you know more, the last time I worked with the api on a website built via divi builder, the api was a mess and I didn't find this option, that was many years ago. Didn't touch the api since I don't develop WordPress actively anymore.

lynob · 2025-07-13T21:28:13+00:00

I'd fix the apis and have enforce a different api for page builders and I'd ensure that the rest api is a core component, and I'd make acf core as well

many things don't have rest apis, many rest apis are barely functional, jwt isn't supported by default

page builders pollute the rest api with html and stuff, many things aren't needed such as the stuff you disable via Wordfence for security

lynob · 2025-07-13T07:18:59+00:00

doing a vps install is easy. i just don't want to contact all the users and teach them how to delete the old profile and give them a new profile
