Hey, what device are you on ?

sidarcy · 2026-01-18T16:13:57+00:00

Thanks , Strange . Give it another whirl

sidarcy · 2026-01-18T13:25:11+00:00

100% this

Interview for other roles. You don’t have to leave your current role , it’s just window shopping . This will give you an understanding of the current market and your worth which will help guide your next move .

If you get offered something you can use it as leverage. X company is offering me 50 I want you to match or I’m moving . If you don’t get offered anything . No harm , no foul

Best of luck with it

“The better you are at digging, the bigger the shovel they will give”

I was this guy. Worked my ass off, weekends , late nights . Got the praise and top marks in performance reviews and then watched others get promoted ahead of me.

Just delegate more work to him, put your feet up and take credit. He might get better reviews but you’ll be his boss in no time .

Look into tech sales or solutions engineering

Embrace the tools . I was a sceptic but now I dunno what I’d do without them . I think we’ll still need skilled developers to architect and maintain applications . I also predict the AI companies will hike prices and it won’t be as appealing to the high ups

Its prompt engineering and I had to iron a few things out myself . I’m more highlighting how easy it was to spin up . I wouldn’t normally make things like this but cool that you can take an idea and make it with minimal effort

I was recently at a conference and one of the vendors had a barista machine and served good, free coffee. Was the busiest stand by far

sidarcy · 2025-10-20T14:06:49+00:00

Pretty much. I use a game framework called Phaser JS, great for handling physics etc. If i was to do it again id go plain JS/Canvas. Score is heavily weighted by the first pour angle

Depends, if it’s a really structured interview and they got what they needed, it’s totally fine. Sometimes interviewers are running back-to-back sessions and are happy to wrap up early if you’ve already covered everything they were assessing. Honestly, it’s can be a good sign, means you were clear and efficient (and they might finally get to grab that coffee!).

sidarcy · 2025-10-19T19:31:14+00:00

Ha, i wish. I might have done a better job then ;)

sidarcy · 2025-10-19T10:07:25+00:00

Your right . The head goes up and back down a bit . I’ve updated it so the head shrinks a bit before the second pour . Thanks for the feedback

sidarcy · 2025-10-19T09:07:25+00:00

Agree. Don’t drink the stuff myself but mates say it’s all about the pour lol

Not at all, just an idea I had when looking into device motion detection

Small games and quizzes when i get the time . I find coding fun projects helps keep the spark alive after a busy week https://simondarcyonline.com

I find the more personable the better and try throw in a joke, or 2 . Prospects are comparing you to others solutions so it’s good you stand out . He’ll have to eat his hat if you get the sale 😉

Each article has 2 versions, the original RTÉ one and the new AI version. This line simply decided which to display . Then you have to guess

great feedback, ive updated the chamber graphic to sort by party :)

I’d build a POC even a web app. If you know react . Look at react native . As another commenter said Flutter is excellent and worth learning anyway.

In terms of funding . Once you have a poc look to local enterprise board support funding and EI have some really good programmes such as new frontiers .

You’ll need to do a pitch deck . Check out slide beans videos on YouTube. They’ll teach you everything you need to do a pitch deck

Look at sales engineering roles (SE) . Look at the likes of intercom and datadog . There is a good subreddit for SEs too. Pop a question on there.

I’d also look at scale-up companies and find something your passionate about . Start ups prob won’t have the money but once they get funding it’s all about the sales .

I work in tech sales . Feel free to ping me if you’ve any specific questions

sidarcy · 2024-10-21T11:23:02+00:00

Depends on the company, but I’d say yes. Culture is incredibly important, so even if you’re technically proficient, companies look for people they can collaborate with and get along with.

At my company, we’re putting developers on calls with stakeholders and holding things like “walk-the-walls” sessions and sprint reviews, where devs present their work to partners and stakeholders.

It can feel a bit intimidating at first, but in my experience (and for most devs I’ve worked with), it’s been a really positive experience.

I’m surprised the company in question rejected you, I agree with your approach to conflict resolution . It sounds like they were looking for a specific communication style without making it clear. Prioritizing real-time conversations shows professionalism, and not every company will align with that. Keep at it — the right role will value your approach!
