I'm interested in your Kindle script. I'm curious about how you handle saving FB posts—do you just copy and paste the content, convert it to markdown, and store it in Obsidian? Would love to hear more about your process!
Regarding Facebook, I do it manually only for selected posts. I tried to do it otherwise, but Facebook exports don't have data about likes (it would be helpful to filter popular content) or comments (often more important than the original post itself).
It's one thing to not care about the customer experience, but this update seems to forget they had customers at all. As a Canadian, I can't even find the content I spent thousands of dollars for over the past 10 years.
I don't know the job posting that the author had read, or what guided their expectations, but here is a current Shopify Senior Frontend Engineer job posting:
This job posting sounds like it lines up with author's experience at the company, and knowing Shopify is a Rails-heavy company, I would safely assume most Shopify postings look similar to this. I don't think author was bait-and-switched, author just didn't get what they _wanted_.
Note: providing a google cache link since I don't know when the posting will expire
> You’ll use the latest web standards in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and modern technologies and frameworks like Typescript, React, GraphQL, Apollo and Ruby on Rails, to develop large front-end web applications and websites that scale and perform well on all devices.
If I read this, I'd think that I'm going to be doing "modern front-end", which is usually a React SPA connected to a back-end API via REST or GraphQL. The inclusion of GraphQL and Apollo on this list does mean that I'd be surprised if my work was primarily server rendered ERB templates.
I think there's a bit of a bias here because many people on HN don't like modern front-end. Yes, yes, ERB templates are just fine. But they're not the same as a modern JS stack and if you're looking to gain expertise in a JS stack, they're clearly not helpful.
> My current team has a senior that has been at the company for 20 years as an Analyst, she can't write a line of code without assistance. [..] And we've got a few juniors/midlevels that could out code almost anyone of the team.
I mean, there's much more to Analyst and Engineering jobs than coding, especially as you advance up the levels.
I feel like bjourne is referring to the hypocracy that society commonly accepts the Jewish practice, whereas the Muslim practice is generally rejected.
I don't think bjourne is suggesting that Deborah accepts the practice.
Where is the example of "society commonly accepting the Jewish practice?" Not hn society, as you can see in the thread. Not Jewish society, as you can see in the article.
In any case, this is not a Jewish practice. The practice in this article is specific to certain hasidic sects, within the haredi minority... And very few outside of the haredi minority are accepting of sexism within the community. It's a big point of conflict.
I didn't say it was a "Jewish practice" it was darylfritz who misunderstood. The practice is common in the Hasidic minority as a result of society accepting people shoveling religious dogma down their children's throats. Except for Muslims having their girls wear veils which "society" has a problem with. But society shouldn't be accepting religious indoctrination of children from anyone.
I like Basecamp's pay structure: it's static. It's more based on the role itself, and the value that role brings to the company. You're not penalized for living somewhere with a low cost of living.
> Our market rates are based on Chicago. Chicago isn’t the top of the market — you’ll find higher rates in Silicon Valley or New York — but it’s not far off either. So whether you live in Tennessee or Arizona or Alaska or Illinois, we pay the same.
> This means everyone has the freedom to pick where they want to live, and there’s no penalty for relocating to a cheaper cost-of-living area. We encourage remote and have many employees who’ve lived all over while continuing to work for Basecamp.
I'm not sure that's atypical though. Or companies make smallish adjustments based on location. They don't seriously try to compete with Facebook or Google on SV salary, know some people will work for them because they didn't get an offer from one of those companies, or prefer to work for someone else. Some people from those areas will take the job anyway and they're fine with not focusing on hiring developers in those geos.
They then followed up six months later (December 2017) by raising that to the top 10% of San Francisco salaries:
> It started to increasingly seem like an arbitrary choice, and if we were going to make one such, why not go for the best and the top?
> That’s what we did. Starting 2018, Basecamp is paying everyone as though they live in San Francisco and work for a software company that pays in the top 10% of that market (compared to base pay + bonus, but not options).
All that marketing text (and among the other docs in the linked Github repo) and they never actually say what their salaries are other than the vague indication that it's the 95th percentile for Chicago.
