You can figure out if people use or care about your service or not via observability.

Great tools make hard problems approachable. They also reduce impossible problems to hard ones.

But, it takes experience (having solved things with easy and hard ways) to prefer easy problems and easy solutions.

It's a good time to be a consultant where you get to solve the same problems using different approaches.

You hit it right on the nail. I love how the null type being defined away from function signature in TS. It's not entirely bug free but it gets pretty far!

This is actually a good use case for transferring USDT (tether token that represents US dollars) to him, but without a 3rd party doing the verification, you run the risk of getting scammed.

If he is gaining traction, other can clone the repo and create the same story.

yayajacky | 6 years ago | on: Physician burnout widespread, especially among those midcareer, report says

Right, do you guys know if there is a bird's eye view platform on the net that talks about which region in US is under staffed in terms of physicians? People may be migrating to the cities for jobs and end up in under staffed areas. That could be good information for migrants.

Wonderful experiences still exist (for many transformative), they just have less reach than corporate cash cows unfortunately

yayajacky | 6 years ago | on: Programmers Should Plan for Lower Pay?

Whenever anything gets streamlined in our industry (better work process/compiler/editor/language), successful company instead of letting go skilled workers end up branching out into more products and regions.

Inventing new industries gets so crazy, we end up leaving things in legacy repos for decades. A complete normalization/standardization for the entire engineering spaces would be both wasteful and unnecessary (what, requiring everyone to know all of the industries and languages before they can get hired?)

Even if you get to the point of AI programmers who can replace people, you may run into a incentive problem because AI would have no use of money.
