Ask HN: How to find “senior” jack of all trades jobs?
31 by stevenhubertron | 13 comments on Hacker News.
I have been in my current role for about 6 years. While I wasn't hired for it specifically, my average week has my time split between product management, managing a small team to develop those products, ux design, and front-end JS/Python development. It's really a roll where I am all over the place and I do really enjoy it. However, due to the Covid reality in the world right now I am starting to think my time here is up. How can I find another job that isn't specialized to one specific roll as I really do enjoy being a jack of all trades master of none and would like to continue to do that in my next role. I'm also fairly experienced with 16 years of "jack of all trade" type positions.

This is a project I've been working on since the start of Covid-19. I built an app so that I don't have to put data into online tools like JWT debugger, JSON formatter, URL decoder, etc... https://devutils.app The app works entirely offline and is open-source. I'm selling the pre-built version of the app to earn some revenue for my time. If you want to try the app but can't afford the price or don't have XCode to build the app, drop me an email (my profile), I'll be happy to provide you a free build. I would love to hear all the feedback/suggestions. Thanks!

I own an old bricks-and-mortar kind of business. Over the years, I’ve often tried to go a step beyond to help people out in hiring decisions, giving folks a second-chance. This “policy” (if you can call it that) has worked out well exactly once (but a spectacular success). The same policy has turned out quite poorly on several occasions, and twice, disaster. We have an in-house software project. One applicant (call him “Jake”) interviewed rather casually, in dirty clothes. His interview was great. His portfolio was very good. His references responded tersely. I hired him. Jake excelled at the project, worked long hours, and the project made fast progress. He became project lead. After a couple of weeks, Jake surreptitiously “moved in” and started sleeping at the office. After hours there started to be problems. Damage to the walls (~a dozen holes). A tile in the bathroom shattered. One of Jake’s monitors shattered. Complaints from the other building tenants about screaming on the weekends (yes, screaming). (He fixed the walls and replaced the monitor.) The problem is this: during the day, when we’re focused on the software, he’s great. Really great. When he veers off into his personal past, or if he’s having a bad day, it’s a lot of unresolved parent issues and talk of witchcraft and auras. Then he tells you earnestly that he’s not crazy (he uses the word “crazy” a lot, actually). The seemingly obvious solution is for him to move out. He could easily afford a local apartment. Judging from his responses to my suggestions (and our in-house experience) it may be difficult for him to keep an apartment. I have concerns that his odd behavior might put him in jail (he is also black). Everybody was fine with him at the beginning. His work is still great. Now everyone has become apprehensive about him. So my choices seem like A) Leave him alone, B) Move him out, C) ...I don’t know.

Ask HN: Advice for first-time dog owners?
5 by ndanmand | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Dear all, I am an academic, looking to adopt a dog. My girlfriend and I (mid 30's) are seriously considering adopting a dog (8 weeks old); Preferably a Bernese Mountain Dog or Golden Retriever. We both come from families with dogs. However, taking responsibility for a dog will be a first-timer for the both of us. We want to develop the necessary skills for training a family dog. I tend to study rather intensively when entering new fields (whether work or hobby). However, it feels like much dog-advice and books are based on assumptions and individuals' bits of advice, rather than broadly credited theories? I was hoping that the HN community - which I do appreciate very much - can suggest resources that inspired/inspires you for training (and living with) a "good boy/girl"?

I've been using GoDaddy for a long time (as probably it was one of the first international registrar that would take my local credit card) but after recent news and pointing out different issues with them I'd like to move out. Since I own some regional domains that I'd like to move not all registrars are possible as a destination (I know, for instance, that Namecheap won't work due to the lack of .SE support). What are some reputable domain registrars where I could move my domains to?
