I'm a full stack software engineer with a diverse range of experience that spans from early stage startups to fortune 50 companies. I believe in a culture of trust over rigid process and simple solutions that deliver wonder. I love collaborating, learning, teaching, and experimenting. I'm particularly drawn towards building the thing that builds the thing.
I've been interested in using Linear but I don't understand the workflow. Do branches have to use the linear issue slug, for example? Is that the keystone of the workflow? I've looked all over for examples of usage to no avail and the Linear website mentions nothing in the way of docs or onboarding.
It strikes me as odd that a company whose software facilitates distributed teams so well doesn't embrace a remote workforce. I'm a Notion user with a ton of ideas and would love to help improve the app but there's just no way I could move to SF to do that.
It's a valid view point that has equal weight to remote teams. In person dynamics among a team is very different from remote. Whether one way is more effective than the other is unproven, but there is definitely a huge difference and at it's worth considering what type of team dynamic you're trying to build at a company.
I’m a fullstack engineer with experience in both startups and large corporations. I am proficient in Javascript, NodeJS, and PHP and looking for remote contract positions. My sweet spot is helping founders with deep domain experience who are funded and need to build a v1.
It often fails to download podcasts. Overcast I can just tap 'download' and trust that it will do its work. Not Apple Podcasts.
I got the "this episode is not currently available" message all the time whereas I never get anything similar from Overcast.
It often fails to transition from one podcast to the next in the playlist (ie, stops playing). Sometimes even when all involved episodes have been downloaded.
It fails to automatically delete old episodes.
It fails in multiple ways when it loses connectivity. E.g., it refuses to continue playing a very well-buffered episode if there's no connectivity. Mind you, I suspect that some of the connectivity issues may be a result of them never having tested it with 'slow' connections (2Mbps in my case). This obviously wouldn't absolve them in the least, however.
This is just off the top of my head. It's one of the worst pieces of software I have ever used. From a company with billions in cash.
Let's just take the "play bar" (for lack of a better term) that hovers over the 4 menu items at the bottom. It's always there. That's sooo frustrating. It grates on my desire for tidiness. Let me clear that. Long pressing shows no option to clear it. It ... it's just not intuitive at all.
Depend probabbly not, but "hey there is this thing this guy did" might be a real thing. Probably not weighted as much as other things but still relevant to some.
But if it's a simple "hey there's this thing this guy did", are they going to go to the trouble to actually verify with Udacity that the person took the course? Probably not.
According to a site [1] Mana is 19th. While that is probably overly high, I would say he is easily in the top 200 Starcraft 2 players in the world. I would also say that to get from beating a top 200 human to beating all humans is much smaller than from scratch to beating a top 200 human.
Aligulac's had Mana around 50th in the world consistently for a recent 12 month period, so I think that's a more reasonable claim, and I'm happy saying that the 50th best player is a "top player in the world".
Aligulac is not that good, the current top 10 is highly debatable, I'd argue the only thing the current top 10 gets correct is Maru/Serral top 2, though Maru being first is a stretch as he hasn't beaten Serral and was easily countered at Blizzcon by simple strategies. I'd agree with him as #1 if he had any flexibility to not just cheese his opponents out (see Keen Ro16 matches, sOs, numerous proxies vs TY, etc.) Maru's a fantastic player but Aligulac has no way to judge his strategic inflexibility.
