Yes there is. A computer counter is worse than a computer ballot printer. You have to have it as distributed as possible to make it as expensive as possible. A single counting or handful of counting machines makes it one machine to take over to do anything you want.
CTO is going to be looking for a while given these demanded qualifications. Maybe he should have tried some mentoring himself.
Of course, none of this actually happened. It's just a made up story from some nobody tech influencer. There's a kernel of truth, which is that focus on larger business of objectives are important to keep in mind if you want to have a big impact. But there's a lot of BS wrapped around that kernel in this article.
Easier said than done. This part seems to be the hardest, from reading comments of other freelancers and contractors in several forums, not just HN.
Any concrete tips, "hacks" that work, that you can share in this context? The fact that software engineers are generally bad at marketing and selling themselves ("Imposter syndrome" much?) makes this part of contracting, freelancing that much harder.
This happened to me directly on Logitech's website. It's why I'll never buy their products again. I received a wireless headset that didn't keep a full day charge longer than 30 minutes. I had to use it plugged in (powering) 24/7. I submitted a 1 star review stating my problem and they removed my feedback without even telling me. It was just gone a few weeks later when I checked it, hoping they hadn't removed it.
It doesn't have built-in websocket support so it can F off. Build better dev tools and feel bad. Even the plugin that used to be usable isn't supported on the new FF.
Yes, the FF Dev-Tools need some love. They have some cool features which are unavailable in Chrome (e.g. the CSS Grid view), but overall they tend to be less accessible (managing (wifi/usb) connected devices and service workers should be much easier and more reliable).
