I'm looking for a strong front-end focused developer. Contractor for milestone-based project(s). React/TypeScript/Tailwind. Budget is ~$5-6k/month. Preferably in Italy, but open to all EU.

I'm willing to pay a Philosophy student (major) or professor for one hour of chatting a week. I want to cover nihilism and existentialism/absurdism, and I need some guidance. If you know anyone who'd be interested, please connect the two of us! 🙏

My third patent has been published - waiting for a decision in about three months! Performing vector search in content delivery networks. It’s a fun one!

It's a hard pill to swallow: there's no 10x engineer. We're all just too used to mediocre engineers we call "senior" because of their time spent at work rather than output quality. When we finally meet a real senior engineer, we think they're a 10x eng. They're "just" actual senior engineers.
The fact that products like Terraform, Pulumi, SST etc. exists is a testament to how fucked up AWS is
Today just hasn't been a good day on several fronts, but one thing in particular today is just heartbreaking.
Wait, so if I order my coffee on a screen with zero interaction with the barista, I still have to tip 20%? What the fuck?
