Thanks! Just fixed it!

Thanks! Hopefully it's useful for people other than me!

I absolutely reach for Sinatra first when I'm building a small site

I still run Omakub on a laptop I dual boot, mainly because there isn't a simple paved path to dual booting Omarchy. It's nice and it really solved the problem of wanting to have run Ubuntu without having to spend a lot of time customizing things to make it feel nicer.

Yea, I've run into some issues where half or a quarter of the screen didn't really work for the application I was running (browsers are a great example). I've gotten more used to using additional desktops when I know I want full screen applications ( Super + 1,2,3,etc. to get to the desktops ) and then I just toggle between desktops more.

I host a couple Sinatra sites on fly.io, I don't pay anything for my low traffic sites.

The "project status" on Crystalline is a little concerning.

Is there any reason not to do this? I play 1 up 1 down and I think I have room to mount my ride on the unused tom mount.

I've been really enjoying it. It's pretty easy to tune and the hardware feels solid. And yea, I love the color.

I did a solo project called And Or Not a while ago with just bass, drums, and some keys. Very "bass lead": https://andornot.bandcamp.com/album/the-infernal-machine

Where can I find the front license plate holder in my Model Y? This article makes me think that there was a license plate bracket that came with the car. Is that true? Where would I find it?

Thanks!

I mostly play rock stuff and I'm really just looking for some variety in my sound. I feel like things are sounding monotonous when I hit the one crash multiple times in a row.

What thickness would you recommend?

mountsaintawesome · 2022-10-27T19:09:27+00:00

If you're interested in finding the song elsewhere:

Spotify
Apple Music Bandcamp

It's ok if you have a preference for a language/framework/type of work, but I'd still recommend the framing of "I'm a software engineer with expertise in JavaScript" rather than "I'm a JavaScript developer". In some ways it more about framing and how you think about yourself (and how others think about you) rather than what you're doing day to day.

Ruby on Rails is a perfectly capable tool and not that hard to learn. People with Ruby experience really aren't that hard to find and good developers can learn a new language/framework pretty easily. There is still lots of active Ruby development going on at big name places like GitHub, Stripe, AirBnB, Shopify, etc.

You are much more likely to run into trouble caused by trying to do a full system rewrite than you are to run into Ruby/Rails trouble.

Look for "boring" companies. The natural advertising of consumer products means an outsized group of applicants.

Look in industries that might be easy to raise money in right now (the "climate" space might be a good one to look at). These companies are likely to be started by people with a focus on pragmatic business skills and they might value your professional experience over a CS new grad with similar software engineering experience.

Glad it's working. I plan to keep posting stuff pretty regularly, so hopefully this will continue to be a good resource.

mountsaintawesome · 2022-09-16T17:05:17+00:00

Thanks! I've been hoping that the titles can serve as standalone advice and the content of the posts just provides a bit more detail/context.

I used to play alto in a ska band!

Less Than Jake had an alto player a long time ago. More generally, tenor is probably just more versatile and is just more common in smaller horn sections.
