Most of the participants has Windows laptop. (Except one with Mac)

We had suggested Linux on WSL2 and VSCode. (`uv` for python package management)

But realized that we were spending a LOT of time fighting the tools/combination. WSL2 + Windows filesystem + uv did not work well together.

For person with macOS - it was smooth sailing

If I do another batch, we'll use native `pip` and python (not uv) and I think then we won't need WSL2

It was irritating.

I just assumed it was "IT policy" and accepted the inconvinience.

The way I interpreted is that first password is for the account, so verify I am who I say I am. But since the emails are encrypted, browser can't show my messages in human-readable form. Second/mailbox password decrypts it and shows the emails in human readable format.

This is just a guess.

I would love to hear about second password from other/more knowlegeable folks.

He complained to me that he "could not find it in ChatGPT history as well"

I think @alexmolas was lucky

I know what I'm looking for. I just need exact URL.

Perplexity miserably fails at this.

Their tagline was "Your professional network"

They closed in early 2025

LinkedIn may suck.

Let me retract that.

It definitely sucks (For me - it sucks because of non-professional posts in the feed. memes, political rants, funny pics etc.)

But there are good parts as well.

The most important thing going on for them is they have network effect.

Everyone (and their grandma, as they say) is on LinkedIn

When I was interviewing, I used to check the LinkedIn profile for the candidate as well. (Lot of times, after the interview in case I had good things to say in my feedback form)

Having said that - Best wishes to OpenSpot.

I assume once that feature is available, account (thus Sign up) would become necessary.

I wish that feature is opt-in, so "No Sign Up" can remain available for those who do not need that feature.

I don't blame them. If they were able to convince their manager to re-write python scripts in rust, good for them. They got "on the job/real life" rust experience. They solved the "chicken and the egg" problem in rust hiring - for themselves.

when companies can fire engineers when they are in trouble, engineers are bound to "think for themselves"

I couldn't find any Firefox extension that does this (Or maybe I didn't look hard enough)

This is the one feature that brought me to Arc

(I've since stopped using Arc, and moved to Vivaldi. My "main" browser is still Firefox)

So it was like FNU Raj (if his name was Raj - it wasn't)

FWIW I use Wezterm with Zellij

"Update 27 January 2020: News reports state that India's government has restored Internet access to the Kashmir region"

RESTORED (albeit partially)

I use it myself, and file is "overwritten" when saved. (as expected)

I have local file that I open in firefox, and edit. Every so often I commit it to git.

If you open from non-local URL - it can not be "saved" - which is what you may have encountered ?

I have over two decades of experience, but mostly in startups/small-ish companies. Thus most of the times I got to work on "new" projects.

Startups always want MVP that can be shipped/released early, so the "growth" is always iterative. Most of the times, the product was discontinued and/or startup closed shop.

While I (believe I) have "theoretical" knowledge about dos and don'ts of building large scale apps, it is not same as having "real" experience from the trenches.

They won't hire me because of lack of "relevant" experience, plus the fact that I am senior engineer. If I were junior experience I assume they would not have this "requirement". I did offer to accept "junior" position (I really liked the company I applied for and their product) but I was told they don't have time for "babysitting" and thus aren't hiring for junior positions at all.

So what do you guys suggest I do to gain "real" experience building scalable app ? (In my case, it is chicken and egg situation)

P.S: I am NOT looking for links to posts like "How to build large scale apps using ...."
