Hi, I'm George. I'm a passionate software developer with 17 years of experience across a variety of tech stacks and industries.
I'm currently building a portal for a client including loan application, dashboard, notifications, etc. This is in Angular, but I have done similar in React and other frameworks.
I'm looking to bring my experience and passion to an organization where I can make more of an impact. Please don't hesitate to reach out; I'm happy to talk shop.
My primary interested are education, fintech, and renewables.
I've been building an app with Sveltekit (ok, two); and I've proposed a talk at THAT conf in the summer. I agree with the author's positive and negative assessments, but really for me the developer experience outweighs the negatives.
In VS Code I turn on seeing short directories in the tabs, which prevents file confusion. Beyond that it's been a joy to use and pretty easy to get going with. Any confusion or learning comes from not doing next.js first and having to learn about which things happen where in terms of client and server. It's eye opening though and it isn't forced learning.
I give Sveltekit a "you should certainly consider it" vote.
Really awesome to see this.
I've done some conversion work for Flash to PhaserJS for educational games. We had to just rewrite everything as we didn't even have the original source code. Luckily Phaser animations can get a lot of the "walk across and open a door" stuff done easily.
I was also excited to see Hapland as I'd forgotten the name and so was never able to Google to find the games again!
"Its stock has slumped nearly 83 percent in the past year. Sales, which the company had expected to rise as much as 33 percent this year, are now likely to show only minor growth."
So they still showed growth, the stock just crashed; and the others in the segment who don't have to report numbers are doing better. Just sounds like a discounted stock to me.
Not really, if you look at the last 2 years their revenue has been flat and their cost exploded.
This stock doesn't look discounted at all, they don't make any money and don't have any growth. I haven't checked their strategy to turn this around but just from the financials I'd say the stock is about where it should be.
We can't really say that anybody should be shocked to see irrational exuberance and hype of the stock value of a freshly IPOed tech company in the post-2010 economy, after things recovered from the 2008 financial crisis.
Even at this 'discount' their market cap is 2x their revenue, which doesn't sound so bad until you compare it to someone like Tyson foods who has a market cap that is 0.5x their revenue.
Given BYND isn't growing much and its got a bad cost structure, it's still 'expensive,' just less so than before.
Have you even looked at their costs?! They’re losing so much money and much more than ever before. They’re playing the growth game but they don’t have software margins. It’s trouble.
There is such a large market for this that one of Germany's largest meat processing companies, Rügenwalder, is heavily pivoting towards vegetarian products, and now makes more money with vegetarian meat replacements than with actual meat. And they're not even the largest seller of meat replacements in the country.
The market is huge, but it's quite literally a matter of taste.
I burned out in 2016 and worked really hard to recover. But the honest truth is I never cared the same again.
I burned out worse in 2021 after almost 4 years; my client denied multiple PTO requests and I worked 12 months straight with just a few fridays off and I had to pull the trigger on "Roll me off the client or I'm gone". I took a month off of work.
I'm still not the same, and I never will be. There is lots of good advice in this thread, but I honestly love writing code and just want to do it for someone who will pay me to kick ass for them. It's hard to just care less about my art. But I'll never care in the same way again, I work really hard to set boundaries and I'm much less invested in the outcome - which is sad and I miss feeling invested in the outcome.
I don't have any advice for you; it sucks but it is reality.
The Thief series. It technically has violence... but I play the game on the hardest settings and the most you can do is sneak up and knock someone out.
You can't find what you are passionate about, it's not something that gets discovered. You pick it and hone it. Getting experienced, acknowledged by peers, and executing from knowledge all come with time and dedication and you become passionate as you want to drive that thing forward.
I've struggled with this myself, and learned over time that I'm passionate about delivering software - I love it. Now I look for the next harder/larger project and see if I can make a difference for that business.
It must depend on the person. I discovered the things I love (writing, teaching, programming, dualsport motorcycling, GIS) by stumbling across them, then honed (a continuing process for life) those skills because I love them.
Did I choose those things? Or was the moment of discovery the moment of choice?
I'd like to note, though, that this video also treats OnlyFans as a porn-only site. It literally starts with asking "Why do people spend money on OnlyFans?" when what they're asking is "why do people spend money on porn".
Very helpful video. Also mentions their sister site myfreecams. That's probably where the x-rated videos will remain. Seems like they're splitting the brand to have one NSFW and one SFW.
Remote: Yes.
Willing to relocate: No.
Technologies: Typescript, Javascript, C#, NodeJS, Angular, React, Containers, SDLC, etc.
