    I originally worked on the website at the TOUR. I was the tech lead who coordinated work with our external teams. I also did a bunch of prototype stuff which is what I really enjoyed. Last few years there I was on the team who built a data analytics dept. That was fun during the build, but once it was up and running I wasn’t doing new stuff anymore and it turns out I need that in my life.

    I feel ya on the 2hrs sleep then 18 of making stuff as well as the crash afterwords. I didn’t get diagnosed until a few years back. I’d never had a full out manic episode until then. I went pretty far out though. Ran around my house naked for a week recording a podcast about how it was on me to become president and the modern day Shakespeare to save the world. Ended up in the psych ward for a few days, got the diagnosis and got on meds. I had a two year major depression after that and then a while recovering. Happy to report I’ve been stable since then.

    And, I’m digging you too 🕺 . Always love meeting folks who do things like start communities. That’s very cool





  • Three cheers for the work and thought you’ve put into this.

    I don’t think of myself as communist or leftist, but I’m digging the vision. (Also, a professor of rhetoric friend told my yesterday that I speak like marx does, so who knows. “Bust of Mao” would make a great band name, btw. I’m adding it to my list)

    brain storming thoughts:

    Would love to see what we’re writing here end up on a top level shehackedme domain. Kinda obvious, but I’ll say it anyway 😁 though, I’m also a big fan of using existing tools to get things started. A prior version of me would have been in rush make that happen first. The new version of me is nodding my head yes for getting started here on lemmy to kick things off.

    I’ve been working on my home page. It has me thinking about what a home page for shehackedme might look like. It feels like this link aggregation is where action will happen, but it also feels like maybe that shouldn’t be the entire home page. Just part of it. (Super high-level, fuzzy thought for now, but looking at the home page of lemmy it doesn’t have its own personality and I think that’s important for things)

    other:

    • what if sub domains where only for accounts and then give every account one automatically?

    • it would be the account’s home page

    • The software would build a default profile, with ways to modify it. e.g. make it based off templates thta folks could edit themselves. Or just change the CSS

    • And then also have an override where folks could make a git repo and take complete control over the page. (basically github pages, but where those are the account profile pages themselves)

    • Then, allow every one to make fourth level domains for their projects, each with a github repo attached.

    • Not sure if providing DNS control of the sub domains is a good idea or not. Probably not for the third level profile domains, but maybe? Even more so with the maybe for the fourth level? Like let folks build stuff that requires server side processing wherever and then point their `project.profile.shehackedyou.com`` domain to it

    • yeah, so basically reddit + geocities + github page at the project level
