How the hell do you embed a tweet on 2p2?

Really? They are YC funded and on HN all the time...

For you FP js people, have you heard of Elm? What's your thoughts on It?

Looking at the docs it reminds me of Python.

Cost of living and salaries all accounted for

Austin, TX

Real Adjusted Salary: $91,185
-1.3% below national average cost of living
Median Base Salary: $90,000
Job Openings: 828


No. not true at all, unless you live in a trailer park in Hutto.

They define city by "metro," which is a bit questionable. Austin is much smaller than San Diego (+17.6%). As far as I know, SD is cheaper than LA, and Austin is more expensive than LA.

I'm actually a bit surprised that San Jose is listed as more expensive than San Francisco as well. Is that true?

Gosh, I don't see any similarity at all. haha.

Woohoo! I finally got a home test for an entry level position. Oddly, it was more involved and tricky than any mid-level test I have been given.

My computer decided it wants to start freezing up in the middle of the test (it never froze before). It had a 2 hour time limit and I suppose I lost about 15 minutes. I wasn't required to finish the test, but it still bothers me because I could have squashed the last silly bug and completed the entire assignment if I had that time back.

Suzzer,

If you really want to learn Docker and are trying to get better at finding side gigs I wouldn't be so concerned with the hourly rate just yet.

Even if they can only afford 75/hr it would be good to get started with them and then look to replace them with a better paying side gig eventually.

Your position is more of networking and finding out some of the first hand things that contracting on the side will expose you to the first time around that you can learn from.

My point is I wouldn't right now nit it up about maximizing your hourly rate, the best contractors have been doing it for a while and usually can just say "$X is my rate" and if not they have plenty of other opps. I would focus on striving for that eventually but not right now.

I'm probably just exaggerating. When I looked at the matrix again, I think I'm more likely to be level 1 in a lot of them and some of them aren't applicable to the types of jobs I've had.

Yeah, the cost of living they are using for this is WAY off. I've lived in both Portland, OR and Phoenix, AZ for lengthy periods each and Phoenix is much much cheaper than Portland.

Going to my first and probably last "founders and hackers" meetup. Will report back with how many "facebook for pets" style pitches I get to make their app for pennies. At least its at a brewery.

I've been considering going to one of those "hustlers & hackers" same thing.

Pennies? Oh you would be so lucky!

Hint:
If you are talking to someone who is trying to get sweat equity from you, just tell them your forte is databases. Everyone scatters like roaches under heating lamp.

possibly better yet, make up some arcane-sounding SQL spin off and say you're an expert at it

"Yeah, I'm real pro at PreNASQL. It's a small semi-relational, multidimensional query language that just came out of alpha."

Haha this is an awesome idea.

You don't have to go to such extremes. All you have to do is pronounce PostgreSQL correctly.

And I got the rejection letter. Took about 9 hours, so super fast. No feedback.

Which level am I on in the programmer matrix if I can pronounce PostgreSQL correctly?

Don't worry, I probably can't.

think that means you're l337

@dave,

sorry to hear it

The 'g' is soft right?

Just got off the phone with the startup dev manager/architect. That could not have gone better. He really liked my open source stuff and actually got it. He said they know they may need to scale to dozens of devs at some point and need frameworks like what we came up with to solve the same problem. So even though that thing hasn't taken off, it probably landed me my current job (or helped) and it really helped me with this startup thing.

Sounds like I will be their subject matter expert on node. They're working with docker and react - which I want to learn.

I told them $100/hr and they didn't flinch. I probably should have asked for $110. But it's not like I ever bill my actual hours anyway. If I spend 8 hours beating my head against the wall trying to get some docker container to deploy because I have no idea what I'm doing - I'll probably only bill 1 hour. So it's pretty amorphous.

Yay suzzer!

So you're gonna document all the resources you use to learn docker and react so other less fortunate devs can learn from the your experience, right? >.>

Yeah I need to start a blog.

postgres. I've never heard anyone at my company say it differently

I've heard the rule is to take your current hourly and go 1.5x or 2x because you'll end up doing more work than the hours you can bill them.
