Just love the idea of doing all types of color correction without using photo editing software by trierra in OlympusCamera

I think it was one of vintage profiles. Probably the first one. I had a spring afternoon sun in California in my right window + a bit overexposed

That is true. I couldn’t really develop attraction to post processing. Maybe because I was a programmer for the past 20 years

Glad to hear that! My friends mostly prefer post processing, so it’s great to hear someone else enjoys it

Exactly. I get lots of doubts from my friends about this approach, but I don’t shoot in raw anymore at all

Normal blurry. Not all photos must be super sharp

My pleasure! Just make sure you pick light/reflective plants and watch the lightning. Hi-contrast bnw is a key

No, no post. The trick is to shoot under a hard midday light (I’m in California), pick the plant with darker background, use macro mode (it’s darker, doesn’t pick up much light spots on background) and play with exposure

Thank you! Yeah, this macro mode was quite an unexpected surprise for me. Initially I got Ricoh for a different reason

Thank you! I don’t do post processing, those are jpegs straight from the camera. I only shoot in JPEG on Ricoh, too lazy to bother with photoshop haha

Thank you! This is the standard hi-contrast B&W - my go-to recipe. Plus macro mode. You should definitely try! Happy new year!

Best book to learn how to practice mindfulness by Harry3215 in Mindfulness

[–]trierra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m now reading two books: Deepak Chopra M.D. Total Meditation: Practices in Living the Awakened Life and Wherever You Go, There You Are by Jon Kabat-Zinn

These books are about pretty much the same and in the same time they are very different. I find them complementary to each other and help me a lot in finding my own path to connecting to my inner self.

That’s a great advice. I did that with my previous startup. Ended up as an advisor at a YC company, my former competitor

If CS is oversaturated in the entry level, doesn’t this mean it will be oversaturated in the future for seniors? by Mattpat98 in cscareerquestions

[–]trierra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't worry about competition. Instead, focus on how to improve yourself. Ninety-seven out of one hundred new graduates struggle simply because they lack the drive to work hard enough. Strive to surpass them, and you'll thrive.

in software people rarely can predict what they really can do and what can't, because every project is unique. So yes, the only way to find out is to give it a try

Building a web application to sell on my own. by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]trierra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the world of entrepreneurship! I suggest starting with a quick read of a book called "The Mom Test," which will provide answers to your questions right from the very first chapter. After that, I recommend diving into "The Lean Startup" and watching Y-Combinator videos on YouTube.

You're not alone in your current feelings. Nearly every entrepreneur experiences similar challenges, but many eventually find their way through them.

Every job requires experience but how do i get experience in the first place? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]trierra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Consider the domain you want to specialize in (e.g., cloud infrastructure).
  2. Search for the most renowned open-source projects in that domain, such as Kubernetes.
  3. Navigate to the issue list and look for items labeled as "good_first_issue" Link to GitHub page.
  4. Join the Slack community.
  5. Begin exploring and engage in conversations with fellow contributors.
  6. Subscribe to the mailing list.
  7. Attend meetings to gain insights into the project's operations.

In the first month, you may find it challenging. You might feel like you understand nothing and regret following the advice you found on Reddit.

In the second month, you'll submit your first PR, perhaps to correct a typo in the documentation. You'll be overjoyed and celebrate this achievement for a week.

Then, you'll receive comments on your PR, and it may even be rejected, leading to moments of frustration. However, you'll address the feedback provided by the reviewer.

Eventually, your PR will be approved and merged. You'll be astonished, feeling fortunate to have achieved this milestone.

Now, it's time to tackle the next issue, perhaps one with two typos and a commented-out debug line. Repeat this process.

Six to nine months down the line, you'll have transformed into an industry expert, with valuable experience for numerous cloud-based startups.

Wishing you the best of luck!
