I will be available to join new project starting from October. Check my website if you want to know more about me. bortlik.cz/
Thank you for sharing.
You can do whatever you want when you don't have to work with other people
PhotoAI.com is now almost 14,000 lines of raw PHP mixed with inline HTML, CSS in <style> and raw JS in <script> tags
I did not use TS, flexbox or frameworks except jQuery
A lot of $.ajax() and float:left though
It has 1,872 paying customers making $61,808 per month

Somebody simply has to write the ultimate catch-all essay on disruptive, libertarian, private-sector-touting entrepreneurs simply begging and demanding for state intervention at the end of their journeys. (This is the Titan sub company's adviser.)
All metaphors eventually fail—houses are built in an extremely rigid waterfall fashion where all designs are drawn up in detail before any building even begins
Lately I've talked a lot about building software like building a house: getting the walls, wires and pipes in place before the interior design details. Here's an example of what that looks like.
I'm building out a new website. Instead of starting pixel-perfect, I shaped a concept on a whiteboard. Now I'm implementing the moving parts in Ghost. These standardized "stub" classes let me focus on the wood walls and wiring without getting distracted by the drywall, paint, and decor too early.

This is a horribly bad faith suggestion.
Even though you’ve never had a dog, as a human you have an implicit mental model of what a dog is, and what it’s like to have a companion, love something, be frustrated by it, etc.
GPT does not have that, it’s doing word prediction.
Inject directly into veins
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, holds her smart phone with former US President Donald Trump on the line, as Rep. Matt Rosendale, a Republican from Montana, waves it off during a meeting of the 118th Congress in the House Chamber on Friday.

1:1s are great. Great for building trust, resolving issues and getting on the same page. But 1:1s can fail if they’re not planned, aren’t actionable or are one-sided.
Here’s five reasons your 1:1s might be failing right now, and what you can do about it.

This doesn’t feel inescapable to me

However, it is hard to escape the reality that these types of lawsuits are becoming more prevalent and more public.
Absolutely disgraceful smh
As @SouthwestAir CEO Bob Jordan pretends to apologize—remember—SW got a $7B federal bailout, spent $5.6B of that on Stock Buybacks, gave their CEO a raise to $9.1M,& forced frontline workers to 16 hour shifts under threat of termination—while spending $0 updating their software😳
