Y'know, I'm totally happy for people to (very, very clearly) use my series "[Extropia's Children](https://aiascendant.com/p/extropias-children)" as a basis for their own work - which has been happening a lot lately - but some kind of citation would have been nice. Sheesh.
I'm reading _Divine Invasions: A Life Of Philip K. Dick_ and just got to the point where he sold his first short story. He was paid $75 for it, at a time when the mortgage on his (old, small, but still) two-story Berkeley house was $27.50. This was 1950.
it's remarkable to me that one can write an entire essay about Piranesi without even mentioning Susanna Clarke's great novel PIRANESI, a pretty significant instance of his cultural influence!
I recognised many patterns described by Rick Rubin in his book The Creative Act: A Way Of Being. There are Seeds, often lying dormant, Experimentation, selective exposure to others, change of context, and even the precise Impro prompt "Yes, and..."
I highly recommend TCA, and not just for artists. The clue is in the subtitle. Change his term "the work" to become "your life" and you have a good recipe for a rich mindful journey through the world.
Never heard of Susanna Clarke or her novel. My first thought at hearing the name Piranesi is Brian Ferneyhough's Carceri d'invenzione cycle of works. Just goes to show that Piranesi, like other artists, inspired quite a lot of people and one can't expect a journalist to mention one's favourites among them when he/she is interested in the artist himself.
We seek excellent web and mobile developers, currently especially senior and versatile engineers who are comfortable doing architecture / technical oversight / big-picture solution development in collaboration with clients. Much of our work these days is in JavaScript (especially React/Next) but we're pretty polyglot.
We're very comfortable with non-traditional employment configurations. Are you an entrepreneur who wants to allocate 50% of your time to your own startup; a tinkerer who spends 1-2 days/week on side projects; or a traveler who seeks to work full-time for six months, travel the world for a bit, then return and repeat? We explicitly support and approve of all those things, no awkward explanations or uncomfortable compromises required. If you're good enough to context switch like that successfully, HFC is the place for you.
We do web and app (and occasionally blockchain) development for clients ranging from startups to the Fortune 500. We've shipped hundreds of projects, have won various awards including "App of the Year" from Apple, and are currently probably best-known for having built Bookshop.org.

We seek excellent web and mobile developers, currently especially senior Node engineers and mobile developers with React Native experience. We work on a wide variety of projects with a whole panoply of technologies, so we prefer generalists with a reasonable amount of experience under their belt -- but there are always exceptions.

This is spot on, and I like that you don’t need hardware for it unlike opendime.
Phone numbers are a bit scary though, prone to SIM takeover hacks and other insecurities. And you still have to ask for/have their phone number. I’d prefer to manage the hand-off part of it myself through my medium of choice.
