SEEKING WORK - Remote or Boulder, CO

I'm a developer + designer who's been building products for the web for ~5 years now -- I'm interested in work ranging from:

• building your next landing page ($500 - $1000)

• interactive prototype ($1500)

• a full-fledged MVP ($5000) for your next web product

---

I <3 JavaScript (ES6+, TypeScript), React, CSS (Sass/SCSS), Node, among other tech; I use whatever gets the job done, well. My resume is at http://itskrish.co/r.pdf

Past experiences include building production-ready front-end software for SendGrid's Marketing Campaigns product, real-estate software for a multi-million dollar revenue startup in Philly, starting an equity crowdfunding platform (funded by RDV, Top 2016 College Startup by Inc.com, etc).

---

I work flat-rate (split up into milestones) as opposed to hourly.

I'm also currently a student; for that reason, I'm fine offering heavily discounted services for my level of experience.

I have been replacing traditional apps with PWA's or mobile websites wherever possible (on Android). They hardly take up any space and also seem to behave well (drains less battery) compared to traditional apps.

I could replace the following with PWAs:

- Twitter

- Uber

- Lyft

- Google news

- Instagram

- Flipboard

- Shopping sites like Walmart, Wish

and many more.

Facebook and Amazon have no PWA's but have mobile websites. (Facebook mobile web works well with Opera. On other browsers it annoyingly redirects to play store to install messenger)
I don't know. I just did a search for "facebook ios can't handle our scale" because I remembered reading this some time ago.
Awesome! I will read the last 6 paragraphs again and again. And I will mediate on them.

"I don’t about you". Looks like something is missing.
" passing parameters" . I was thinking of "arguments".
Why didnt you go staight to their web site? Its well usable on a mobile browser.
In my opinion, the ICO is the blockchain killer app. You don't really need a distributed ledger except in case of digital currencies, which can be used to facilitate transactions in specific apps

And it's such a ridiculous thing, too. Going 7mph faster doesn't really net you that much in the long run. You're barely even saving minutes. Going 100 miles at 70mph takes 1 hour and 25 minutes. Going 100 miles at 77mph takes 1 hour and 18 minutes. You're saving 7 minutes, hardly worth a speeding ticket, right? And if you're going an average commute time of 25 miles, the difference between 70mph and 77mph is two minutes.

What's the point in going just a few mph above the speed limit? Just for the jollies? Sticking it to the man? Because the reason certainly isn't getting there faster.

Too many crooks. Too much hype. Too much ignorance of how the real world works.

I'd be interested in working with large and boring financial institutions on those sorts of projects, because they don't offer the failure modes as above.
Heat/cold storage is very efficient when you have direct consumers for heating/cooling: charge the insulated tanks in times of electrical surplus, heat/cool when needed.

Mixed application installations (e.g. campus-scale air conditioning and hot water, generously overprovisioned to allow some paid grid stabilization work on the side) might be an economic sweet spot even with terrible cycle efficiency. In any case, for grid storage, price per effective capacity will remain the key metric as long as the storage market is not saturated. Tanks scale pretty good.

Eventually someone is going to make a program to store and retrieve child porn directly in the blockchain. That way it can be passed around and stored on hard disks but with thin deniability of "oh no, I just needed the blockchain so I could spend my buttcoins"

I doubt it's related at all. A client probably wouldn't specifically ask for a "React Native" app.

I would think this trend has more to due with app marketplace saturation.

SegWit2x contains a hardfork that brings the block size limit to 2mb. The primary point of contention with SegWit2x is the fact that it introduces a hardfork, something that most developers very strongly oppose.

A secondary concern is scalability - SegWit already increases the burden for full nodes in terms of bandwidth and storage by doubling the practical capacity of the blockchain, and quadrupling the max size if miners are being abusive. SegWit2x quadruples the practical capacity of the network, which quadruples the burden of running a full node. And attackers now have 8x the wiggle room for attacks. I don't want to dive deep into the details, but there are a lot of reasons to be concerned about this.

Show HN: PJON v8.2 is out
It is a sad fact that ageism exists and has been rampant in many industries but especially in tech. It exists in many ways as the article explains including asking for age on applications.

It would be nice to see a group with as much influence and power as YC take a step to show the industry that age is just a number. There are people over 31 with great ideas, ambition, drive and the ability to grow a hugely successful startup.

It is not enough to just say you support equal opportunities and equal treatment within the industry. Somebody needs to take the lead in putting action behind their words.

Maybe a first step YC could take is by taking the request for an age of founders off the YC application or creating a diverse funded pool. If the age request is for a legitimate non discriminatory reason, such as making sure the founders are of an age to legally enter into contracts, simply as that question; are you 18 years of age or older? Or if mentoring a widely diverse (by age) group is difficult, then maybe they could select a dozen or more groups with founders over say 40 and fund and assist in growing those groups independent of their usual groups. I know their have been many groups who have terrific ideas that warrant a chance at success but are not submitted because of the prevalent ageism.

It might be an interesting study to see a comparison on growth, profitability, media coverage, ROI, etc. between the standard funded startups and more mature funded startups. I don't see a downside to such an experiment.

> Is there a Bureau for the Prevention of Chaos?

Decent government. Stable institutions and mostly fair and equitable justice and law enforcement. The US and Europe have their challenges, to put it mildly, but have been fairly successful in averting chaos, and things are going pretty damn well, judging by even relatively recent historical standards.

> But how much do you spend to prevent war? How much do you dump into the CDC?

A lot. So that means that things can be very expensive and still be relatively cheap.

> And how do you irrigate the Midwest once the aquifers get low? Piping desalination water from the Gulf?

I don't know. Perhaps. Or perhaps redirecting water from the Hudson Bay drainage basin. Human ingenuity is pretty great.

> How do I distinguish candidates that can do the smooth talk from the ones that can walk the talk...

Jason Fried of Basecamp has some brilliant advice on this subject --

A résumé "doesn't say anything really about what someone's capable of," Fried told Friedman. "We're always about getting to the realest possible thing, so we can cut through all the fog and find out if this person can do what they say."

One way to do that is to have the candidate complete a sample project. Fried gave Friedman an example: Let's say Basecamp is hiring a designer. They'll give a candidate for that job one week to complete a project — and pay the candidate $1,500 for the work. > http://www.businessinsider.com/basecamp-ceo-jason-fried-does...
Not only, there is IMHO also a "technological supremacy" bias.

Quite obviously most developers will have:

1) VERY powerful hardware

2) VERY fast (and unlimited) internet connection

It's not like (they should do it as part of quality assurance or similar) they take a car, drive in some remote countryside, possibly in the middle of nowhere, stay there a couple days and try accessing their website (or running their app) on the lowest/cheaper entry level hardware on a metered connection.

It's easy when you have a T1 or faster connection on a recent top-hardware to forget how a lot of other people have slower devices, with less memory and limited bandwith and metered connection.
If you are working on a blog or trying to write daily as a habit, please send me an email (ijinal at gmail dot com)since I am doing a User study.

Definitely, lots more planned. This is just the launch product. I've been thinking of integrating other platforms like Amazon Alexa. Also embeddable and APIs would be possible. Let me know your use case. You could actually hack the API now since its a SPA architecture with a GraphQL API.

As for the stack the frontend is VueJS and Vue Material. The backend is Python, Django, Postgres, Elastic Search and some Redis spread in for caching.

Its running on pretty limited resources right now, but I'll scale it up when I get some traction. So if it's a little slow sorry not sorry, but it seems to be holding up pretty good for using mostly free resources.
