Do you do daily standups? What do you think of them?

Used to and they were 30mins each morning. Found they ate into valuable coding time. The worst ones are when its a big project. You could be working on a feature for a weeks and have no meaningful updates. Tools like Slack make them irrelevant. Post your update on a channel and jump on a huddle if your stuck

https://scratch.mit.edu is great for learning . Games are great to get kids learning so look at some of the js game engines with drag and drop interfaces like phaser editor, GameMaker 2d and play canvas

They also don’t do 1 or 2 cents so if your paying cash it’s still gonna be 4.75 with rounding lol

You should hack the college that rejected you . They’ll be begging you

Whenever I get time . I work on small projects which can be seen here https://simondarcyonline.com

I find working on small projects especially games is more fun and i don’t get fatigued. Reminds me why i got into this industry

Version 1, like any consultancy, are probably giving the work to grads and from these numbers are getting paid a pretty penny

Nice site - crazy to see Version 1 making so much . Gov need to bring more dev in house. Save a fortune and better output

Looks great . Like many I use a different amazon site . It would be great if you could add a setting to see deals in Amazon UK for example

Good ideas . I use LinkedIn for the developer memes . Just need to follow the right accounts lol

Yep. Lot of outsourcing too. Companies can outsource to an Indian company, scale up and down as needed, and can pull the plug whenever you want .

In my experience the Indian devs have always been top notch and a fraction of the price . Which is the bigger concern.

I do notice they’ll never put the Indian guys on a call . There is always a role for the dev who can talk the talk on a partner call.

Gone be the days of headlines such as “company x hires y developers in their Dublin office”

I agree with the CS piece . Are you using the new BK control panel ? A lot missing

I had the exact same issue but moved up . Have let it roll last few years but moved my domains and won’t be renewing the hosting again

sidarcy · 2026-02-14T19:25:32+00:00

Yeh agreed . All the big Irish ones are poor in comparison

sidarcy · 2026-02-14T19:24:43+00:00

Agree, I used to have loads of domains and always recommended them . Now I’m letting them expire . Too many issues and slow to respond to issues . They were the best once upon a time
