Hello Tribe, I am in market to find some freelance work. It is getting difficult to sell myself. What do people look for in an introduction. I know that I know stuff and get things done - but that much is not sufficient for someone to put their trust into me. My side of narrative is • I help you building your MVP • You tell me your problem - I find/create a solution My current choice of stack would be Ruby on Rails, Postgres for persistent storage, Redis of caching I have been doing this for 4+ years and have built 3 products from scratch. Selection of my talk at RubyConf 2022 speaks of my experience with the stack and indicates my expertise Looking for feedback from people here on the above narrative

Any using ultrawide monitors? I just got one but the jump from 22inch to 34inch seems a bit too jarring. Do you eventually get used to it? I am also concerned about neck fatigue with long term use.

What are your fav subreddits? I'm planning to clean up my reddit account and follow interesting subreddit.

Has anyone here purchased or researched Pen plotters? I am looking to buy one to hack around (with plotting codes and generative art) but could not find a decent one (see below for criteria). I am looking for: 1. A small contraption, preferably within or around the size of A4 sheet (fine with smaller machines too) 2. Not very bulky, I am OK with it being bare bones, not looking for industry grade product design and parts. 3. Reasonably priced (10k INR max, obviously cheaper the better) I would not mind buying a (self sufficient & complete) DIY kit as long as it fits the above criteria and is lego-ish in its assembly (I don't think I am adept with solders etc).

Hey Tribe, Has anyone been able to screen mirror / extend their MacBook display to a Windows laptop smoothly? I am trying to use 5kplayer software on Windows that simulates Airplay. Even tried switching to 5ghz wifi band on MacBook and the Windows laptop. Still the mirroring is laggy and choppy.

What's a good phone for a senior citizen? My Dad is about 63. I am looking for a smart-phone that is both powerful yet minimalist and easy to function. Mid-range phones of Motorola, Samsung tend to get slower after some time. And high-range phones come with features that parents never use. That is my conundrum.

Good luck trying to visit the US. You may have to wait 3-4 years for an appointment 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Have you used 2 out of MX keys, magic keyboard and k860? How do they compare? I had no issues with MacBook's keyboard, so magic should be fine. Right now, I use the k850. Regularly bump fingertips on keys and mistype. I had thought I'll get used to it, hasn't happened in over a year. A friend suggested split keyboard. K860 seems like the only real low profile choice there. Solved: went with MX keys

Looking for a robust backup 4G Router when my broadband connection is down. I think TP-Link MR100 and MR600 have been discussed here before. MR600 costs twice as much as MR100 though. Is it worth the extra premium? Any other routers worth considering?

Hey folks, I could use some advice regarding a company switch. I've been working at Walmart as a Software Engineer (Backend) for a little over a year now and I've been interviewing at a few companies for a switch. I received 3 offers in total, out of which I'm currently at a crossroads between two offers. One offer is from Microsoft and the other is from a fairly well-known Series B startup. The compensation for both roles are similar, although the startup compensation is more cash heavy. I know the decision is fairly subjective to my needs and your mileage may vary but I would still love some inputs on how to gauge the two offers and make a decision.

Hey folks, I am looking for a gym trainer/yoga trainer online for my mom. She was doing yoga with other friend of her and unfortunately she had to close the classes from this month.
