SEEKING WORK | REMOTE

Freelance UX/UI & Product Designer for hire, remotely!

———————————————

• Portfolio: https://brendanho.com

• Location: Canada, but open to remote work and prefer asynchronous engagements!

Hey, I'm Brendan - a product & UX designer working remotely.

Graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Interaction Design. Over 8+ years of experience designing UI/UX for startups and entrepreneurs, including web and mobile apps.

———————————————

I'm available for:

• Startup Idea to Startup Design - I can help turn that idea in your head into a fully-designed (MVP) product using my blazing fast design process.

• UX/UI Redesign & Modern Refresh - Your current UX design (or UI design) is poor and needs a complete or partial revamp. I can pinpoint issues and give it a modern design facelift.

• Unlimited UX & UI Designer Requests - I can provide ongoing and weekly design support, paid on a fixed monthly basis. Need user flows or journeys conceptualized? Personas made? Pitch deck slides? Wireframes and interactive, clickable prototypes? I can handle all that and more. You'll receive high-fidelity design deliverables and mockups based on the requests you submit. All based on growth and conversion-based design principles for startups.

• Retainer, ongoing UI / UX design arrangements available.

Almost got back into webdev but the technical interview was 100% JavaScript.
Step 1: nearly bankrupt your country

Step 2: sell out your country to wealthy foreigners to "stimulate the economy"

Step 3: act surprised that you can't afford living in your country, that got sold out to wealthy foreigners
If a company is going to discriminate against me, I want it done early, before both parties waste their time. Interviews are a two way street.
Reselling (and sometimes even worse: handing them over for free) abandoned groups has been part of Meetup's original business model (or at least for a very long time). I personally avoided this bad situation only by luck, thanks to a friend who had her company group and all members handed over to a competitor.

I am really sorry you were tricked by this. It is documented in their terms of use (which nobody reads) so I don't think there is much to do but to spread the word and warn other Meetup users around you. Let them know to make sure they get everyone to leave their group before they leave it or abandon it.
SEEKING WORK - Freelance/Contract - Remote from US

I help early-stage startups set a tech strategy, build an MVP, and even grow a team. I can handle end-to-end web app development from scratch, including product definition, backend + frontend development, and basic design. I also offer CTO-as-a-service for existing teams that need help growing or scaling.

I'm a serial founder who's built and sold multiple companies (like https://moonlightwork.com), and I've held leadership roles in engineering + product at major companies like Webflow and Trusted Health. But, my passion is building things - and I use my background in software and product to help early-stage startups either launch a product or convert a low-code product to a coded application.

When I pick a tech stack it's typically Rails + Hotwire + Tailwind, but I've worked in a variety of web stacks ranging including Vue, React, Go, Laravel, and Kubernetes. I'm an advanced user of Stripe, including their Connect product for marketplaces.

> The US is pretty bad from this point of view from what I recall, compared to other places where it's generally legal to build a broader variety of housing in cities.

It's really impossible to make generalizations about the legalities go building in the US, as there is no federal control over such things. There are some state-level laws in some states, but for the most part zoning is left up to cities and counties, leading to literally thousands of disparate sets of laws and regulations.

My city has historically heavily restricted high density housing (until the state stepped in), while the city literally next door has added enough high density housing for ~20k people in the past decade.
>Sorry, what "natural system" exactly are you talking about? The moon doesn't have one in the sense you mean

Whether the moon and the earth are part of a natural or unnatural system is irrelevant, so we can omit the word natural for the purposes of this argument.

The moon and its interactions with the earth are part of a system. Some parts of the system are understood. For example, the moon's effect on the earth's tides.

Mao's sparrows were part of a system. Changing this variable, the sparrow population, impacted one variable that impacted another variable, that impacted another variable. Dead sparrows --> more pests --> less grain --> famine.

We can try to predict and speculate all we want, but the only way to know how a system is affected by a variable change is to change the variable and observe the effects. And it can take a very long time before effects reveal themselves, and sometimes they cannot be easily reversed.

When introducing an unprecedented change to a system, all we have is uncertainty, so before we introduce that change, it's important to proceed very slowly, and with caution.
Yes, I think it can particularly be an issue if women want to have children one day (not saying they all should).

To find a guy you want to settle down with (and for you both to generate the required level of mutual trust) can take multiple years with no guarantee the relationship will endure.
I don't think Germany is a great example at all cause they would rather rent out to a good German girl who's dad has money than to a foreign professional who has a longterm work contract in Germany. I agree that the annoying lifestyle expats are a problem, but bringing up something completely unrelated with a whole host of its own issues is a really weird way to make a point.
"As for Pentium PCs... well, they're harmless."

Hard to see how Intel could sue over a statement like that.

The reason many companies say "competing brands" is because they don't want to mention an alternative, because it increases the mindshare of the other brand.
There are non-rocket ways to space, like a catapult or maglev accelerator. Or ways to assist the rocket outside the rocket equation, like a spaceplane launch platform. Or even Project Orion nuclear explosion propulsion. (Which is subject to the rocket equation, but with nuclear rather than chemical fuel for a much higher multiplier of energy per mass.)
I've sewn in new zippers in the past. My last one was such a great pouch, I've actually saved it and might replace the zipper after my current pouch is worn through.

So reading the comments, this answers my question if this was a joke.
I started using this when it was in free/public beta, and signed immediately once it required a subscription. Zero regrets.

The results are excellent. Definitely better than Google and DuckDuckGo in my experience. I’ve been telling people to use it, but it’s kind of hard to convince them that $10/mo is worth it. A family/group plan would probably help get more people on board.

Also I completely forgot Orion was a thing until this post. I went to check it out, but unfortunately it’s Mac only. A port to Linux would be awesome.
Not contradictory at all - they buy property, sit on it, and vacation there
I wonder if we will see AI generated art replace a lot of stock photo usage...
There's sellers that are already out of stock. Firewood needs to dry for months before use, and like everything else when there's high demand there will be high prices.

>It’s incredibly easy to just be waiting for your turn to speak.

The best solution I ever saw to that was having the meeting runner randomize everyone's order to speak
Arista Networks, in Santa Clara.

First round, I had to do 2 coding questions in an hour, 30 mins for each question. I had to go to their campus. They would give me a laptop/environment of my choice and then time starts. Questions were very easy, so the expectation was reasonable.

Second round on On-site was two interviews: Director of engineering asked me why certain piece of C code was behaving in a certain way. I could not answer, but we compiled the code into Assembly and tried to understand the behavior. An hour later, the CTO of the company, Ken Duda, walked in and he asked me an Object Oriented question and some of my past projects. Really drilled me. He gave very simple design of same projects. Very educative and amazed to see a brilliant mind at work. The interview was in no way condescending.

They took a decision right there and it was a no hire. But I loved the experience. It was no BS interview.
Hi, thanks for your interest.

Salaries are set at a team level and align to a grade structure. That specific SRE role is open across the UK, so it's likely that it was setup at a regional pay scale not a London one.

SRE roles pop up every few weeks, and some are specific to locations. If you view some of our previous "who's hiring" posts, they will give you an idea of the salary ranges: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=LloydsBankingGT

Sure, but it will also go straight trought many things, not impart all of its kinetic energy into whatever it punches through first. The ISS has survived quite a long time in much the same environmental conditions as stuff on the moon offer, and the ISS also needs to worry about keeping air inside.

Just how dense are these rock showers do you reckon? After all, the moon has very old untouched features.
I don't. How much? I'd also be curious to compare that number to:

1. How much we have mined on earth

2. Expectations on how much we expect to mine over time

Does Portugal have US style NIMBYs ? Why not build more housing

Sounds like Golden visas worked at attracting foreigners, raising Portugal’s land value, and incentivized citizens to move to depopulated areas
Announcing some position as "we want software developers with $qualifications to work mainly on our PHP backend" is completely different from "we want software developers with 5 years of experience with PHP".

Also, you don't promote people for non-valuable rewriting of stuff.
Sure, adjust for the fact that 80% of users are men. That doesn't change the fact that talking about attractiveness alone is misleading, because men and women use that data in very different ways. Despite ranking most men at 2/5, women message those men at the same rate that men message women ranked 4/5.
Stop pretending that non-technical users want to run web servers. That's just not a thing. What you're actually arguing is that some technical users are so important that making them tweak a default setting is too much to ask, but others are so insignificant that pulling the rug out from under them after decades of practice is perfectly reasonable. I disagree.

Do you not grasp WHY Let's Encrypt requires port 80 (for one particular challenge type)? Think about that for just one second. Okay I'll spell it out for you: the convention that ports under 1024 are privileged gives Let's Encrypt some confidence that privileged ports runs services sanctioned by the system administrator and not some tenant -- which is exactly the point I was making. So thanks for providing more support for my argument, I guess?

And while we're at it, can we stop pretending you care about user experience? You can't even be bothered to type those two words! You cite no studies and make no technical arguments. All you're offering is the claim that the default you prefer "should be preferred" based on your intuition.

I probably shouldn't even dignify your claim that people think port numbers in URLs mean they're being attacked with a response, but I'll bite. Do you have even a shred of evidence for this claim or did you just make it up on the spot? Obviously the latter, but if even if it were true the solution would be to educate people about what port numbers mean. Unless you want to argue that any feature of any internet service some people are confused about should be abolished? I guess we'll have to shut the entire internet down.

Changing the port number is a perfectly reasonable solution for many use cases, but it's far from the only option. Alternatives include CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE, net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start, port mapping in containers and many more. Pick your favorite and stop wasting everyone's time.
These days HIV is much easier to live with than diabetes.
Yes, but unlike a ladder and a rocket, they are not fundamentally different. This is why I don't think the analogy holds. Evolution iterated over the same model, never starting again from scratch.
Capacitor doesn’t free you from things OP mentioned: App Store updated, marketing material like screenshots, descriptions, App reviews by Apple, ratings, etc.
Unfortunately in Portugal as in almost everywhere else the government has little incentive to do so: as the ruling class is comprised almost entirely of wealthier people with lots of assets, they (1) don't suffer from the insane housing prices and (2) indeed as proprietors benefit from the surge in housing asset prices.
Just the bias of chasing shiny.
"probably"

Or probably not.

As far as I am concerned, I judge a company as a block, any of its employees/teams/departments speaks for the whole company, end of the story. And for the topic we're discussing, the company easily caves in and is weak so I am not going to rely on them for anything related to privacy or safeguarding data.

You can delete all your user data. For now, it's compliant with Apple and Google policies as it is with most countries. More refined policies will be added later but rest assured, I'm adamant about making sure users can easily delete all their data.
Kind of a fun hybrid where AI is clearly dominant in an established solar system, but it ends up being impossible to miniaturize the enormous supply chain necessary to fabricate microprocessors, so to colonize a new solar system it actually ends up being necessary to send self-replicating carbon-based humans who will then bootstrap the industrial supply chain necessary for AGI.

(repeat ad infinitum for the rest of the galaxy, humans live only on the frontier)
Do they all reside in the country?
That's changing quickly though. Most of the cheaper places did 'cheap' via sprawl, and that's kind of low hanging fruit that you need to move beyond in terms of housing options, sooner or later.

There is only minor uranium prospecting at the moment, since the demand is declining. Additionnally, it doesnt take into account new technology for extracting uranium (from sea water, for example)
When demand will increase, propsection will as well, and reserves will "magically" appear out of prospection, same as gas reserves, or "Peak Oil"

I would probably hire game developers for basically any role. The nature of the industry causes a large portion game devs to be deeply familiar with many more broadly applicable areas of specialization than is normal, able to produce several times more working code per unit time than web companies will expect from anyone without "staff" or "fellow" in their title, dramatically less likely to ship things that make the user wait half a second constantly or have other forms of nightmarish UX, and used to working inhumane hours for vastly below market compensation. Wow.
GitHub Actions: introducing the new, larger GitHub-hosted runners beta
>If we could figure out how to reduce global consumption of resources in the first place in order to stem the rate at which our planet gets polluted... [..]

It’s easy. Reduce population to carrying capacity. The math is 1/2 surviving child per human that’s a non transferable right for 150 years.(Altho at this point, it may be too late. I would like all of us to survive past 2030, but worth a shot even though the decline of our eco system began in 2000ish)

It would be better if we found a way to preserve genetic material or find a way to generate pluripotent cells for procreation. We would need diversity of genetic material and not everyone would want to be a parent. Their genetic material would ensure that we have a ‘genetic library’ of reference materials so we don’t go extinct as a species.

The JVM trades memory for all kinds of optimizations so it's less about raw performance and more about memory allocation tricks (and related FFI issues). This is where golang at the moment has an edge over it. Assuming you can tolerate its primitive abstractions.

Once Loom&Co get merged, the JVM is going to be unrecognizable. It's also very possible that one of those Kotlin-native/GraalVM AOT projects goes mainstream. But right now it's a problem for high-performance systems.

Personally I regret this trend because Java/Golang are much easier for people like me than C++/Rust. I cannot imagine myself going back to manually managing memory. Browsing Big Data open source code will not be as educational anymore.
Ah ok and when they are fooled I wonder what rationalization you will fall back on next.
Also remember Germany (or better, the CDU) blocked nato membership of Ukraine.

Thanks again Angie!
I'm firmly of the opinion that kids are naturally born geniuses, and that our [lack of] child-rearing and educational systems traumatizes them into dullards before they get a chance to grow into their full potential.

Clearly, it's possible to do much better than the status quo, E.g.:

"Squeak Etoys, Children & Learning", Alan Kay

> The projects developed in Squeak use a different and simpler kind of incremental mathematics that allows very young children to understand some of the key ideas in calculus. We have found that more than 90% of 5th graders not only understand “Galilean gravity” but are able to derive the mathematical “formulas” (actually 2nd order differential equations) using this alternative mathematics, and author a simulation that matches up very well with the experimental data.

I'm not going to take my crazy uncle's medical advice without a lot of evidence. That doesn't mean everything he says will always be wrong.

I see people making obvious mistakes on these apps. Probably the worst is narrowly defining what you want and telling everyone else to ‘swipe left’. These apps give you an elo rating (maybe not exactly elo but same idea). So if someone with a low rating swipes left on your profile it really tanks your own elo score. So profiles need to have broad appeal in order to obtain and maintain a high elo score.

The Portuguese case is quite different, I think.

Canada has a well-developed and diversified economy. Portugal needs to import a lot from the world, but has very little to offer in exchange.

They found something: their real estate and city center spaces.

The country NEEDS this foreign income. It's not a self-sustainable economy and the world won't work for them for free. If the Portuguese want to solve this issue, one way is to study what else could they develop internally that would be attractive in the world trade market.

Also, foreigners are looking for the European passport, not for Portugal per se. If Portugal were to follow UK's path, demand for their Golden Visa would drop dramatically.

It doesn't benefit the rich, only. By raising real estate prices, it stimulates the construction business, which is labor intensive and has a long supply chain. It benefits the entire economy of the country.
>Trying to go to meetups but COVID is still a thing so outdoors only. And it can be burn out on those two because rarely is there anyone I might be interested in. (single, age appropriate, and seem compatible). I know it's a numbers game, I just am running out of ideas on how to increase the numbers.

Few things. First, why is covid still a thing? You can just as easily catch it on a date or at work, just go to the indoor meetups. I'm in a liberal big city in the US and covid isn't a thing anymore. It's been three years. I don't want to die alone, do you? I had long COVID, it sucks, but it's unfortunately not an option.

Second, some meetups have different people going to it in each event. Those are the date targets. But, focus on making friends there, this happens if you go regularly, weekly, to the same ones.
Correction: it's still allowed, only considered obsolete. :-/
