I'm curious if anyone has any experience selling source code. Not so much freelancing, but just selling code you've already written.

I'm living in medium to high cost of living area in the USA. I'm sick of the full-time employment - layoff - job hunt - full-time employment cycle. I don't see the employer / employee relationship getting any better.

Looking for other ideas.

I was pretty excited to add storybook to my project, but after setting up my basic components like buttons and moving on to higher level components that render slices of state using selectors .... I have regrets.

Is it me or is it really hard to 'storybook-i-fy' react components using selectors? I found this tutorial on the Storybook site and it looks like the preferred pattern is to duplicate your store in your storybook file? That can't be right, can it?

Someone talk me out of taking Storybook out back and uninstalling it from my repo.

This opinion is based on reading people's thoughts on the internet and remembering what I was taught in my own time in school (where they essentially stumbled into teaching that humans were some kind of 'peak' of the evolutionary process)

I think people have waaaaayyyy too much faith in human intelligence and it's leading to the destruction of the world.

1- People keep thinking a scientist or a 'rich entrepreneur' is going to come up with some magic bullet to save the world, if we taught more about how other animals have tools, language, larger and older and more complex brain structures than us - People might realize it's similar to believing that dolphin will arise from the sea with some idea to stop climate change

2- we keep participating in these systems that have been created under the assumption that we are 'making progress'. I would argue that the minority of human invention represents real progress.

3- It leads to undervaluing the earth and taking it for granted. We worship ourselves as gods (literally). Almost everything you have wasn't invented by humans. It was the result of billions of years of selective design. Yet we teach as if things we harvest from nature were 'invented' by humans. In reality, we often have no way to produce or even of conceive of these things without a natural example.

Thanks for reading

Anyone else noticing their profile always shows their most recent posts/comments etc as if it's right before the server downtime?

Reloading the page seems to show my new content, but I have to do that each time.

Apologies if its just me. I think it might be but thought I'd ask the community before going off on a troubleshooting spree

Hey all, I’d like to grow some garlic at home in containers.

Problem is I live near Phoenix, Arizona USA so it’s quite hot outside most of the year.

Anyone have experience want to share some tips? I noticed some garlic bulbs starting to sprout in my fridge and thought I might be able to start some indoors from that.

I dont know how to crosspost, but I made the same post here

if others come looking for advice and find this post, might be answers there too
