  • Might be much for an internship, but they aren’t asking for months of work.

    When they ask for LinkedIn clone without feeds, it’s pretty clear they just mean the ability to create, edit, and share a profile. They basically say as much in further bullet points. That’s straight up CRUD(minus delete). This is pretty much backed up by them wanting NextJS and MongoDB.

    The next key requirement that sounds like it would take a lot of time is the SEO part of it. That doesn’t make sense at first glance, but since they specify that one must use NextJS, it becomes more clear what they meant. NextJS offers feature specific for SEO score like SSR and component streaming. So they want them to implement something regarding that.

    The rest are just what you should do with any take home, follow best practices and provide a readme detailing why you made what decisions. If you chose something over another option mention it because that tells whoever looking at it that you at least thought of it.

    Overall, may be too much for an intern, but they probably don’t expect them to finish it. Just list what they would do to complete it in the readme and leave it at that.









  • I think the big issue is that joking about school shootings is satirical to bring up how common it is in hopes to change it, while joking about fat people is just to be mean. No one is going to change because you made fun of them, in fact it might make the problem worse as state of mind is a factor in being unhealthy.

    You could probably make the same argument about abortion jokes being satirical, but I don’t think abortion jokes are made in order to enact social change. It’s usually just to be offensive. Satire is usually used to point out how ridiculous something is, the hope is that we as a society will see it and do something about it.


  • The 1m was confiscated because it was ‘illegal income’, not because he used VPN.

    Yes, it’s still shitty that using VPN to access GitHub makes his income illegal

    using VPN … makes his income illegal

    Yes, they fine wasn’t a flat 1m or whatever, but because he earned it while using a VPN on and off(cuz the great firewall periodically blocks github). None of that would of happened if he didn’t use a VPN, so saying that the direct reason he’s in trouble isn’t why he got punished is less honest.

    If your complaint is about how the number was determined, perhaps it would be better as “Chinese programmer ordered to pay entire income(1m yuan) for using Virtual Private Network.” Honestly, either headline is fine as long as the details of how that number was chosen is in the article.
