That is true. But also covered in my last point about people wearing masks to an extent. If you have a limited amount of time with someone you can be fooled but a mask "can" slip if you really get to know someone. But yeah it's not fool proof and people can definitely be fooled. But having an understanding of the power dynamic between yourself and the other person can help.
But yeah some people can hide negative emotions (e.g. sadness) very well.
Gotcha, thanks for clarifying. If you’re treated as FTE, why are you not?
I’ve had a similar situation before, and I will say that of course they want to make you feel like an FTE while keeping you on contract. That is the best of both worlds for them, of which you reap nothing but self-employment paperwork.
Well, the main reason is because I don't live in the same country as the company HQs. Most countries don't have labour laws adapted to remote working yet.
But since we're on the subject, I actually prefer working as a contractor on any occasion. I pay way less taxes, have control over my retirement money, and negotiate silly perks like gym/co-working memberships into a bigger salary. FTEs in my company make 25% less (net) and cost 30% more to the company.
If it was for a big client needing a business solution, sure I'd say you need to choose Wordpress as it is industry standard. But because it sounds like your client is an individual who hired you for their own personal needs, IMO Wordpress is overkill here.
Better yet, just hook up a YAML flat file, show them where it is in Github, and give them collaboration permissions :D
As someone who has been critical of TripleByte here on HN in the past, I appreciate the identification and acknowledgment of where things went wrong and why people were unhappy. This seems like a sincere pivot where the community was heard. Wishing TripleByte luck and success.
I can also report I haven’t received a single TripleByte email since the issue was last brought up :) Thank you for standing by that.
Thanks for the feedback there, and for checking it out. I’m still working on an ideal process for optimizing identification of the lines you want to use. The issue with both the count and the start is that you have to have some awareness of those indexes. I’m working on a more visual way to pick and choose commands (think git squash commit picking).
Unless you mean start as in, type a command to begin “recording” and then type an end command when you’re done? Interesting idea
We are no longer able to discern truth from falsehood, and as a result are scared into polarization by the nature of our surroundings. We no longer morally stand strong against the pull of power as we may have once did.
The ensuing discussions are more often than not, nothing more than desperate attempts of talking past one another.
Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Palestinian, Israeli, human. We all deserve peace and love.
I want Palestinians to have a home. I want Israelis to have a home as well. It’s a complex issue. And because there is not necessarily an easy answer, we more easily fall victim to the tide of fear and frustration on a global scale.
Existence is suffering. May we all find a way to survive.
Can confirm, as part of the wudu or pre-prayer washing ritual, you are required to rinse your privates with water if you have not done so or used the restroom since your last prayer. Often times this is done with a bidet. Watering pots are also common :D
