@justansub I got my first job by cold applying but every job since then has been from recruiters reaching out on LinkedIn.

[James Aldridge⚡ @james_aldridge7]

@WoganMay @eliasstravik I think I'm going to try it anyway. Anything you would do definitely if starting one again?

[James Aldridge⚡ @james_aldridge7]

@eliasstravik I'm considering it, but I'm not sure how to begin.

You should not do a course on this. Follow the docs for how to setup tailwind in your project then every time you need to make a change that you don't know the tailwind syntax for use the search feature in the tailwind docs to search by css property and you will see how to write it in tailwind. It's very easy if you know css

@trikcode Ruminating thoughts are the biggest cause of depression stop thinking about your problems or why your life is bad. This is one of the reasons exercise helps with mood because it shifts focus from problems to what you're doing.

@TechieGirish @_miloi What would you say the highest IQ tech stack is vs the lowest?

[James Aldridge⚡ @james_aldridge7]

@luqmanually @justansub I've started noticing this a lot more lately, and it's so frustrating

[James Aldridge⚡ @james_aldridge7]

@justansub seeing it through to the end and not changing project

@bohdanbasov Sleep is a cheat code for this

@mlwithmobina If you're building cool things I'd like to connect if you're interested in learning from each other

[James Aldridge⚡ @james_aldridge7]

@t3dotgg Surely when you're pulling in that kind of money as a founder and content creator you would leave the US to optimise taxes?

[James Aldridge⚡ @james_aldridge7]

@ytshortsai Thanks, this is really cool. It's a great idea.

[James Aldridge⚡ @james_aldridge7]

@TheMonkDev happy to connect with anyone who is building cool things and is interested in learning from each other.

@itsarun01 Depends on the field you want to work in but Python or Javascript for everything that isn't video games or finance

[James Aldridge⚡ @james_aldridge7]

@appwrite a 1 hour interview that is a mix of technical/behavioural should really be enough.

@PirateSoftware Why is no AI-generated content allowed?

[James Aldridge⚡ @james_aldridge7]

@EddyVinckk @Madisonkanna That sounds great, but I think not everyone can be trusted enough for it to become the norm.
