honestly, it seems like you're all over the place. pick a skill, be the best at it, and let the rest of your abilities support and reinforce that skill.

lots of young people talk about what they have done but don't realize that companies want to know what you can offer to them (read: results). if you're a "product designer" then you need to sell yourself as such (not "sell") and speak to the RESULTS of your designs. how have they been successful?

a hiring manager (like myself) is thinking, "how can i leverage what i see here to grow and build my business?" if you've launched a startup, speak to the design and how it impacted the financials and growth. no one cares you started a business (sorry!), i can do that it 15 minutes. making it successful is what gets attention. you want to work at a startup? how was YOUR startup successful?

lastly, i'd suggest you regroup on your website. i personally don't mind the design, but if you want to land at a startup, then you need to tailor your online portfolio to your audience (and desired position!), accordingly. you get one to chance to make a good first impression and i think you can do better there.

most importantly however, just keep at it. you have time on your side!

If only the BLS thought of this - then they might have included this data in Table 1. From that table we could then learn that 20% of the working poor (or about 7% of poor adults) are in this situation.

The number which implies choice is actually in paragraph 1, however: only 35% of poor adults worked or looked for work for at least 27 weeks/year. The remainder chose to engage in other non-work activities.

Light rail solves urban congestion, too, and a city that doesn't already have a subway isn't all that likely also to be so densely involute that rights of way can't be secured for the trackage. Elevated electric trams are a thing, too, and require a much smaller ground footprint.

Not that I don't get what he's saying, and I do get that existing and well proven systems aren't sexy, but I feel like either of those is going to be an easier sell, and a much faster implementation, than an underground system. There's infrastructure down there! That's what "infra" means. Easier not to have to work around that, if you can.

You say you want to promote diversity, but do you? Do you have smoke and non-smoke offices, meat and non-meat, nude and non-nude? Do you promote equally people who drive to work, walk, and those that take a bike? Is there promotion in diversity of music taste, where each different taste is given proportional place in the office? Do you have proportional use of programming languages, promoting the diversity in preference?

Have you ever used team building in order to make the group more homogeneous and working as a singular mind? Such effort goes directly against promoting diversity. Group cohesion is general opposite to diversity in behavior, goals, values, culture and opinions. The less disagreement and infighting there is, the less diversity you got.

The best advice i can give you is to make multiple resumes. Adapt the resume for the job you are applying for.

And don't worry about the frustration. A lot of people had to apply a gazillion times for various things before they got one chance to show what they can.
Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration. - Thomas Edison

I think this idea is a good start. The reality is that people want/need to communicate with the outside world while they're in-transit. So if the ideal situation is that you have no electronics and the other extreme is that you have your digital whole life on your person, what choices are there for balancing risk and convenience/accessibility?
Software Engineering vs. Machine Learning Concepts
If you believe that niceness (the opposite of a jerk?) and brilliance are independently varying traits, and that each are sought after in the market, then you might suspect that eventually those who have the greatest number of independently varying good traits will be more likely to be sniped up by discerning firms than not.

In which case, based on your budget, you'll have to settle with fewer and fewer desirable traits of lesser magnitude, or conversely, based on your budget, you can push more and more less desirable humans to lesser firms; one can imagine thinking the same with customers or clients as well.

You can have the nice paying client, or the jerk paying client, and a discerning firm might prefer nice paying clients over jerk paying clients (but of course, the most important discernment will be over pay), leading their competitors to have to deal with clients with a smaller set of desirable traits.
I grew up in a pretty bad home. My mother was crazy and didn't work and my father was an alcoholic who owned a bar. Got my first job at 13 and I've been working since. After high school I joined the Marine Corps and spent 6 years in the infantry. Got out 6 years ago and went to college on the GI Bill. Worked throughout college (including internships every summer) and got a great job when I got out. Worked my way up as fast as I could.

I'm not sure there's a "big break" I could point to besides maybe when I decided to join the military? But that's really something anyone could do.
Very insightful post, thanks! I still stand by calling it stolen ideas though: if you go to PARC, see some cool stuff, and then come home and build it again for yourself, that's stealing an idea.

But the main point I was trying to make was : taking Apple's slogan to mean "just think of something new and the world will be changed" is wrong, Apple hardly even did the "think of something new" part, but they did the hard work of getting it to a useful state. The 99% perspiration.
But you're right, Apple did have something extra, they didn't get to where they are just by doing the hard work.

So let's say "99% perspiration, 1% recognising and stealing good ideas, and 1% knowing where (not) to compromise"? :-)
> Diversity for diversity's sake is not a real solution.

As I've commented above but will summarise here, there are two main points to make in reply to this position

(i) You're assuming the status quo is based on merit, which studies unambiguously show isn't the case

(ii) Studies also show that diverse teams perform better. So this is also about competitive advantage.
I once took a philosophy of mind course, and I discovered that most philosophers are arguing over the definition of consciousness (and in many cases, of the word "is"). What was really insane to me was philosophers arguing that the mind doesn't exist. My general opinion of philosophers dropped pretty hard after that.

>Yet that was exactly what I was doing in 2001.
Using C++/CLI predecessor, Managed C++, to create .NET components that exposed a RPC library written in C [...]

Exposing a low level C library to a .NET application isn't adding .NET to an average C++ application just because you prefer to write some new feature in C#. But that's exactly what Apple wants you to be able to do with Swift.

>Yes you can, otherwise I and many other Windows devs wouldn't be using C++/CLI and C++/CX on our applications.

Like no one would ever do anything that isn't smooth or efficient.

>They never thrown it away, .NET embraced COM, allowing its consumption and exposing .NET classes as COM objects.

Right. I think you know exactly how communicating strategic intent works. COM was relegated to legacy tech in 2000. They "embraced" it only to stay backwards compatible. They only rediscovered COM as a strategic piece of the puzzle rather recently after realizing what a huge mistake they had made back then.

>I can provide similar examples for Oracle, IBM, Apple and Google if you wish.

I know you could, as could I. But to what end? Do we really need proof that Microsoft isn't the only company that is capable of major strategic fuck-ups?
You'll be comparing against a lot of other things like offsets that aren't naturally unsigned and having everything be of the same type just tends to reduce the number of potential corner cases.

And it will be a bit faster for certain weird architectures since the overflow behavior of an unsigned is prescribed but signed overflow is undefined. But I really doubt anybody cares about that here.

Now think about the man who invented writing.

The truth about most SV billionnaires is that they captured far more latent value than they created. This ethos of building a fortune of absurd proportions can not work for most either.
> I've been "selling" myself as a Product Designer but I truly can't fit in such a narrow box

I know nothing about "Product Designer" but I do know quite a bit about not fitting in narrow boxes and how that can hurt your ability to find a job.

You need to figure out how to communicate your value proposition to HR-type people who make the initial decisions about what to do with your resume. These types of people have dozens to hundreds of resumes to go through, so they are probably not even going to look at your website and not going to spend the effort to figure out what a "Product Designer" is if they don't already know.

So, when you look at a job and apply to it, you should tailor your resume and pitch to whatever they say they're looking for, using their words even if they don't feel right to you. In my case, that meant calling myself a "Software Engineer" even though I don't think Software is an Engineering discipline and my educational background is in Chemistry.

You should also emphasize skills differently depending on who you apply to. Your list of things that you dream of is uninteresting to me, in that you put the least valuable (HTML/CSS) skills first and the most valuable skills (Python + Django, Node.js) last.

Also, don't list your experience the way you do on your site. You founded all of these apps that you list yourself as working for, right? Don't do that; it looks desperate and when I see it I wonder what you're trying to hide. If you worked for yourself the whole time, just say you did that and explain what you did; don't try to make them look like jobs that someone hired you for to do for them.
This is a good idea, and I like to watch Elon be ambitious, but it's probably pretty annoying to work at SpaceX right now. One day you show up to work and, where you used to park your car, there is a giant hole in the ground. It's there because the CEO of the company you work for, who is already splitting his time between two companies, wants to put some of his energy towards a third unrelated company.

You are spending your time getting things into space and your CEO is literally heading in the opposite direction.
No, that's not like that at all. In the examples you made, you are giving people MORE rights from THAT point onwards.

In the ETH case, you are creating a law to REVERT a previous deal. Democracies don't do that.
Well, I don't know for sure, I suppose, because I don't know you. But byuu has been in many ways the eminence gris of the SNES emulation scene for about as long as there has been one; in addition to the only really machine-accurate emulator, bsnes, his research and often his implementations have substantially improved a lot of the more commonly used SNES emulators out there, and he's also responsible for a nontrivial fraction of the ROM dumps that give an emulator user something to play.

Whether or not that means you owe him anything is yours to decide. If you decide that you don't, that's fine. I suspect I'm not the only one who would decide otherwise.
I think it does clarify meaning in this case: it translates from 18th century English to contemporary English, while retaining the sense of the original.

Microsoft Security Updates Guide (SUG)
I read this comment and was ready to jump to the OPs defense and chide you for being overly-negative but then I looked at the website...

None of the products look like something I'd expect from a "Product Designer" and even less so from someone who is "passionate about all things visual". I am not a designer but I've worked with a number of highly talented designers and none of these designs really impress me, in fact almost all of them nibble at something in the back of my head proclaiming them as slightly "off". I can't exactly put my finger on it but they just look out of place for some reason. I can get past the style of the main website (though I think it's in the style of a programmer and less of designer) but the things the OP has worked on just don't seem that... good. The "quirky equipment" with text inputs is confusing on a number of levels: What is this trying to show? Why is it listed at all? How is this innovative/interesting/or even cool? A tiny bit of JS strung together with some CSS animations doesn't strike me as worth sharing. Lastly, and a tiny thing at that, o23.io works find for a dev/designer name Olivier that is 23 years old but.... Did he buy o24.io-o100.io as well? Just seems like an odd choice of domain.

Indeed. A single poor update that breaks everything can cost an enterprise the ability to get security updates in general as well. About a year ago we had to choose between having current security updates and being able to print because Microsoft screwed something up in an update.
There's reason why the US stopped investing in light rail.

>The social and physical construction of suburban America really was quite complex. It was a very elaborate system, and clearly a massive social engineering project that has changed US society enormously. [27] Incidentally, I don’t have a personal objection to suburbs, in fact I live in one, but suburbanization is a different question. [28] It starts back in the 1940s with a literal conspiracy. I mean a conspiracy that went to court. The conspirators got a minor pat on the wrist however.

>They were General Motors, Standard Oil of California and, I think, Firestone Rubber. The origins of suburbia reveal an attempt to take over a fairly efficient mass-transportation system in parts of California — the electric railways in Los Angeles and the like — and destroy them so as to shift energy use to fossil fuels and increase consumer demand for rubber, automobiles and trucks and so on. [29] It was a literal conspiracy. It went to court. The courts fined the corporations $5000, or something like that, probably equivalent to the cost of their victory dinner.[30]

>But what happened in California started a process that then expanded — and in many ways. It included the interstate highway system. That was presented as part of the defense against the Russians. It was launched under the Interstate Defense Highway Act of 1956, and was intended to facilitate the movement of people and goods, troops and arms, and, allegedly, to prevent overpopulation in specific areas that could become the focus of nuclear attack. [31] The slogan of defense is the standard way of inducing the taxpayer to pay the cost of the next stage of the hi-tech economy of course.[32] That’s true whether it be computers, the Internet or, as in this case, a car-based transportation system.[33]

>From the late 1940s, into and through the 50s, there developed a complex interaction between federal government, state and local government, real-estate interests, commercial interests and court decisions, which had the effect of undermining the mass transit system across the country. It was pretty efficient in certain areas. If you go back a century ago for example, it was possible to travel all around New England on electric railways. The first chapter of E. L. Doctorow’s Ragtime documents it.[34] Subsequently, we saw the elimination of the mass transport system in favor of fossil fuel use, automobiles, roads and airplanes, which are also an offshoot of federal government.

> company can simply find another engineer

But then they open themselves to supply/demand of the market, and the risk of being short-staffed (the risk of being unemployed might not be as great, because a business may be in active competition, and lose opportunities). Plus, I imagine the overhead of new staff bites too; and it's not common to under-pay new staff in their probationary period.

But my original point was; An Engineer who enjoys their work can avoid being paid less simply because of this fact.
It's very unclear how it works around the world in different legal systems. In comparison the CC0 spends a lot of words to work with all the jurisdictions where you can't legally give up all rights over a work.

If you are operating internationally (like nearly the entire tech industry), complying in as many jurisdictions as possible is very valuable

This is great! Moving back from England to Scotland after uni 10 years ago was literally the worst choice of my life for a programming career. Plenty of Senior jobs for a Graduate wage.
That's asuming all other skills you have acquired so far in your life has no synergy with your new programming skills! Hardly common for someone starting out at 30+.
Unlike last time when you clearly didn't read it, I think that this time you actually read the study and identified a major methodological flaw (in under 11 minutes!!!) that the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration didn't notice at all.
I've had many job titles (and only once was formally titled as a "software engineer") but I keep on doing SW development in some form no matter what job I have. There are many people that are like me who carve out a niche for themselves doing what you software folks would call "domain work" but we manage to also fold-in the creation of software, systems integration, and other stuff that blurs boundaries. My job always ends up being radically different from my job description.

I think that for older folks (like me) this is an excellent way to get into software development: leverage your domain expertise with ever-increasing programming and automation. That way you get a chance to learn on the job doing real things and you DON'T have to "start over" and compete with 20-somethings. Unfortunately, however, this path leads to "lone-wolf" roles where you don't have organic interaction with others doing the same things. I always feel like an outsider when talking to "actual" software engineers and have to spend a lot effort to gain their trust and adapt to their jargon.

Like you, I do believe there's a binary distribution for programming aptitude. People either get it and love it or they don't and are indifferent/hate it. Their major in college has almost nothing to do with programming aptitude, so its not surprising that one can "live" an entirely different career path but discover software development in mid/late career.
I'd sooner master rust, which seems to have a lot of buzz around it. the world has needed a low-level prog-lang that's less painful than C/C++ for a while, rust may have enough merit to displace a lot of C/C++ dev - I just hope it gets well standardised, in such a way that C++ isn't.

Neuromorphic computing is cool. We need to move towards stochastic logic as well. Since the universe behaves in a roughly stochastic manner, we're going to need to adopt this paradigm if we want to continue miniaturizing. Hopefully that will let us transition smoothly over time towards quantum computing.
