I’m looking for a principal or staff role working on SaaS or some AWS platform as an engineer or manager. I’ve built some cool things and want to continue doing that. I’m primarily AWS focused but could build on any cloud platform. I’m looking for a place that I can stay for 5+ years. Thanks.
Exactly. I have dozens of jobs I don’t list on LinkedIn. I wouldn’t list McDs either. Your LinkedIn is your resume. Something tailored towards the career you choose. These off jobs and hustles don’t belong in my opinion. Leave that for the story telling part of the interview when they ask.
He was founder of Meetup, acquired by WeWork for $200m in 2017, my guess is for cash. They only raised $18m so that should be a good exit for founders. I don't think he is using his LinkedIn profile to find a new job. I would expect him to use his LinkedIn as more of a bio, and include the McD's experience.
Yeah, NYT butchered that. The actual statement was
> Fat Mike’s main argument — “You are getting into bed with a corporation. You are not an artist. You are an employee.”
He was talking about being an employee, not "having a job". Being signed to a label means that they call the shots, and you record albums when they demand even if you want to tour and you have to write albums that they are happy with.
Maybe it’s a reference to one of their songs? Not really familiar with NOFX (aside from them being the favourite band of some of my favourite bands), but maybe they have a song about jobs or having a job.
It comes down to what you mean by "job". As distinct from "work". We all -work- (they certainly do) in the sense that they add value, and are paid for that value.
A "job" though is an indication of who you work for. You might get a job at a bakery, selling buns. You got to work, add value, and are paid by an employer. She decides if you're on the register, or loading the truck, or whatever. You are selling time and she can do (more or less) what she wants either it.
To avoid this lack of personal agency people start their own business. Now "no one tells them what to do". So they don't have a "job" but there's actually more work.
So there's a "job" and there's "work" and they're not the same thing.
The band (correctly) recognised that signing for a label means you are an employee of that label. They may give you some autonomy, but its not all fairies and rainbows - there's a business to feed. So there will be requirements from their side.
Indie bands work a lot more, but they have complete freedom to do whatever however they like. If they serve the customers well, they do well. If they don't, then it reflects in pay this month.
A "job" is when you work for someone else. But when you have autonomy, and do what you love AND make enough to thrive, then you are truly blessed. Its a lot of work, but it doesn't feel like it.
In some markets, there’s plenty of supply - for rent - that no one can afford. Half my building is empty. Yet they charge “luxury” prices for a very much “unluxury” place. I’m one of a small handful of owners that bought before the “management company” came in. They had no choice but to accept us into their system. I’ve seen rent go from $700/1bdr to $2100/1bdr in 4 years.
FYI, the imposter planet as a 2D pixel shader on a backdrop is a godsend for those doing procedural universes where you have lots of planets. Due to memory and GPU bandwidth, I restrict my spherical cube-based planets to 1 instance and draw the nearest bodies using the backdrop technique. When in space, there’s a distance in the middle of two bodies where both are rendered as imposters, before settling on the nearest body for spherical quad-tree goodness. It’s not perfect but the illusion is near flawless. This also makes it rather trivial to add light physics to your camera lens for long distance galaxies and bodies. Since they are on a plane… such as when the moon comes up and looks bigger than it is, or a galaxy in the distance being warped by gravity.
Yeah this is what I do to. The OP's approach is interesting but I think that using typescript/javascript/whatever to build your app, then "render" using a build step (like `vite build` or whatever) and embedding the resulting static bundles is the best of both worlds.
That said, the JS ecosystem is so weird that I totally understand the urge to bail entirely and do things in Go. But JS/TS and all the related frameworks really are decent if you pick a reasonable subset of them.
hahahaha. Imagine if SCOTUS decides said law banning non-competes is unconstitutional. Could they do it in such a way to kill the "non-competes are unenforceable" law in CA? that would suck.
No, it's the FTC doesn't have the authority - this is an easy thing to do federally, just convince congress to ban them... most things should not be decided by the executive.
> Under this Act, the Commission is empowered, among other things, to (a) prevent unfair methods of competition, and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce; (b) seek monetary redress and other relief for conduct injurious to consumers; (c) prescribe trade regulation rules defining with specificity acts or practices that are unfair or deceptive, and establishing requirements designed to prevent such acts or practices; (d) conduct investigations relating to the organization, business, practices, and management of entities engaged in commerce; and (e) make reports and legislative recommendations to Congress.
It's hard to see non-competes as anything other than an "unfair method of competition", and it's shameful it has taken this long to act.
My only concern in this context is that this is in relationship to employee relationships. If said vets had an ownership stake in a sold practice, could they be restricted by virtue of this different context?
