My favorite example of this is when someone asked me a question about a problem. I asked a clarifying question, then someone else said “no he meant …” and the original person goes “no I meant as he asked” then they discussed that for a while for some reason.

Pockets must be saving me from needing 12 spots? Living room, office, night stand, bedroom charger. No other spots. If I take my phone out at the kitchen table I will forget about it and deserve it for taking it out at dinner.

If this is CA I think you can still pay it early, then as soon as your smog check happens/they get it they then mail you the tags.

I usually find the "introduce everyone at the same time" movies to be a bit weak. So much time spent trying to catch up the viewer, but the trailer reads well. It introduces while keeping a focus. Reserving judgement for the actual movie, looking forward to it.

That does blow, but it also suggests that they both don't understand how larger organizations exist with both good and bad people, or don't trust their own interviewing practices to distinguish people.

Formatting/readability of this thread is atrocious. Still better than the documentation I’ve dealt with.

Try to compile yaml. Needs make.
Get make, needs to run a shell file.
Install gitbash. Needs a compatible compiler.
Install mingw. Configured now!
Failed to compile, somewhere something is escaping backslashes it doesn’t need to (windows also respects forward slashes…)

Based on the number of poorly aimed, templated, error prone, tone def, offering me my own previous job emails I get from recruiters… this is well within the acceptable error threshold.

Neither of those concern me, more if this ever scaled to $100s+ a month I wouldn't have to resort to either rewriting it or to consumer hostile levels of ads to scale it.
My lack of experience in this area doesn't know if this translates to a real concern or not.

As long as the choices don’t make it difficult to pivot for higher (regional/redundant) scaling I don’t mind using one temporarily and switching later.

I have a bunch of exp in these DBs so thankfully that is the part I am most comfortable with.
I agree SQLite is capable of accomplishing a lot, and likely good for all early phases even through initial popularity (if I achieve that).
Will help push API efficiency too if restricted to one box.

Thanks I appreciate you taking the time. I will dig through all of this and take it in.
The bloat definitely does impact onboarding, familiarity, and I imagine speed so trying to see things as they are first before starting.

Thanks for the reply. After a brief glance Ghost may be too specific for this project, but might be a good replacement for a previous one. Will look more closely.

Not entirely sure which technologies I should look at for my scaling cheaply without sabotaging things.
Things leaning into my experience with c/c++, C#, Python without making it impossible for others to work in preferable.
Anyone with any suggestions?

Jenkins is both useful and largely disappointing. It has almost certainly wronged you.
