I used to work as a full stack developer 😢

This issue has been fixed now

The filter by watched/unwatched feature got fast-tracked after my wife was complaining about having to vote on movies we already watched. 😅 It is live now.

The IP and location is the Heroku server where the app is hosted.

I checked Overseerr and they have a nicer message when you log in

I'll have to dig into it and see if there is a better way to authenticate. Plex doesn't have much documentation for 3rd party app developers.

The project is open source and the repository is here: https://github.com/wheresfrank/voterr

That's cool. At least he was honest. /s

I was with a SaaS company for 5 years. It was my first job in software. I busted my ass and worked my way up. I ended up managing the support department while leaning how to code in my spare time. I move to Engineering and was a developer for two years.

The company had a great culture and I was genuinely proud to work there.

Then a growth equity firm came in. They said they weren't going to change the "magic" we had and were just there to give us the tools and expertise to grow. That is when the steady erosion of our company culture began.

The third CE0 since I've been there took over a few months ago. Of course he promised there would be no layoffs and he didn't see a need to change anything. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, I was getting panicked messages from coworkers saying they were getting let go and then I saw the 15-minute meeting with my department head on my calendar.

When the dust settled, the first layoffs at our company were over. A third of our engineering department was gone and our work was being outsourced to an outside firm.

Now I'm looking for work and it seems really daunting. My wife is self-employed and lost her biggest client that made up 80% of her income right before I got laid off. I got 4 weeks of severance initially, but I was able to negotiate 8 weeks.

Now I'm reaching out to my network, applying to as many jobs as I can find, building more portfolio projects to pad my GitHub account, and believing things will work out so I don't have a complete nervous breakdown.

I don't recommend it. Don't be laid off.

And this goes back and forth until there are 100s on the Supreme Court

I have a KVM switch so I can control my array of computers with one monitor setup. I have a normal desk and a big closet to house all the computers.

I was thinking the same. Let me interview non-management members of the team to see what working there is really like.

Similar story:

I was in Medellin, Colombia, outside of the football stadium, trying to see where the rest of our friends were at before heading inside. A guy came up and was saying he was a big fan of one of the teams playing. He lifted his shirt to show me a really shitty tattoo of the team logo. I noticed there was a knife in his wasteband, but I was distracted because I was looking for friends. He asked for me for money and I casually said, "No, Gracias." and walked away. He started yelling at me with a lot of fun Colombian bad words. I was wondering why he was so mad and as I was walking away, I realized he was trying to threaten me with the knife.

There were a lot of people around and police all around us. Really ballsy on his part for even attempting something like that there.

If I did that in a different situation, I probably would have been stabbed.

Or genius. New company idea. Sell data from the start and share revenue with contributors.
