What is going on with the TikTok trends of dudes claiming to be training to be the starting <soccer position> for the US men’s national World Cup team? Like what’s the goal?

I should add a disclaimer that I do not work for a Vancouver company, I work out of Austin. I get emails from local companies that make me throw up in my mouth a little, I want to advocate for the upcoming generation of super stars, Vancouver is not treating its tech talent well.

Vancouver, let’s start a movement:
Stop comparing salaries to “market” - let’s look remote and compare Seattle, Austin, Miami, Denver.
We’re being played. If you’re not being paid similar demand more or move to a remote role that will.

Who is advising "market salaries" in Vancouver? Seriously If you're accepting these terribly low salaries in today's market, you're underselling yourself

Just seen a "what went wrong in my business" post from someone I know who was making $1m a year in revenue, but hiring the CHEAPEST developers and designers they could find until the product became unusable. SMH.

My 15 year streak of not winning the Apple WWDC lottery is in tact!
In other news being a professional Apple dev only works if you become a public person, which I am not, I make stuff for private enterprise 😂

My favourite thing about @neonespaces.bsky.social - total autonomy to make improvements across the stack 🔥
SO frustrating when (at a larger company) you need another service make a small change... so you ask the team owning it to do it, and they tell you "sorry, can't do now, we can do it maybe in 2-3 months"
SO liberating when you can just make the change yourself and submit the PR

I have quite a serious question. I’ve been wanting to publish my public portfolio for a while on colinmasters.com but for the last 15 years I’ve mostly worked on non-public, non-disclosable projects in defence, finance etc. What’s the proper way to record and acknowledge these things?
