yaml/md/blob engineering @buildwithfern, former bigtech worker. coding for fun.

[cbro @broady]

I've verbally accepted an offer to join as staff eng @buildwithfern to sling some yaml (the currency of the future).

I'm excited to be a part of a small team scaling it up with @getpostman.

[cbro @broady]

@samwhoo wow, this is cool!

[cbro @broady]

@sqs Why so round.

@davidcrawshaw around the corner from a bluebottle

@Sirupsen @PerrinMyerson @turbopuffer you vibed it up this morning? 😆 impressive!

[cbro @broady]

@utpalnadiger @tryramp cool! how is it coordinated? via github triggers? can it kick off sub-sandboxes?

[cbro @broady]

@davidcrawshaw --autodelete

@sqs what? I love my 2005 era gmail settings screen!

@flyosity this one is very quirky

@rockorager @luccahuguet put in the README/CONTRIBUTING that PRs are considered as suggestions/requests. consider adding them as Co-Author on the final commit.

hopefully no guilt if it's said up front. personally I'd feel better about sending a PR if it's explicitly a draft anyway

@kubedoll @0xSero I started on rust mosh+tmux driven by libghostty. but the value add is low

[cbro @broady]

ca-caw!

experimenting with a lightweight IDE that doesn't have an editor.

@pierrecomputer absolutely cooking
@tilt_dev underrated imo

[cbro @broady]

@davidcrawshaw submitted!

(I don't have an iPhone)

[cbro @broady]

@kerckhove_ts first explain why it's dangerous

[cbro @broady]

@joodalooped @localfirstconf @inkandswitch right but the sync engine is the fun part

[cbro @broady]

I did 150+ interviews and ended up working with a lot of the people I interviewed.

My preferred interview length would be an hour. That's enough to go deep on a problem with someone.

In literal 5 seconds all you're getting are vibes. Vibes are important but foolish to hire on.

[kache @yacineMTB]

@Steve_Yegge It's very obvious when you should hire someone or not. If they're good or not. You know within 5 seconds. I never thought that gathering signal was a problem. If eliciting signal from the candidate is difficult, maybe the candidate just doesn't have enough signal to begin with

[cbro @broady]

@samokhvalov pgque looks great. how do I decide between this and sqs

[cbro @broady]

@teebrinko @RationalWerwolf @nikillinit me? I'm talking about my peers. I got lucky enough to not need to work now
