It is a global check, or only for replies to the post you're on?

I tried to reply back to you "Sure!" and got a "Same status of @jackivan88".

When I try to post either an update or a reply, I find this "already a status of @userXYZ" thing annoying. I mean I wanted to reply to someone "Sure!" and somebody else had written that too. Maybe this policy can change?

I open sourced the last two of my personal projects: notes.lucianmarin.com at github.com/lucianm... and photos.lucianmarin... at github.com/lucianm... -- enjoy! You can easily install them on any shared hosted service.

"chmod 777 notes.json" - 777 always make me go nuts. You most likely need this to be writable by the web server process. 777 is almost always bad practice.

I've gone from coding UIs in HTML and CSS at the old job (2012-2013) to coding quality JavaScript and Python (2015-2017). I've even implemented a big data reporting backend in ClickHouse (clickhouse.yandex). I didn't consider over-engineering a new UI in ClojureScript the right path for the future. That's mostly the reason I left. There was still lots of work to be done on scaling the backend. The payment remained mostly the same across these two jobs, even if I worked harder ever single day. That's the reason for demotivation, I guess.
Yiorgos Adampoulos
People get demotivated usually for two reasons: Payment or lack of praise. I use sometimes the following example: CR7 and Messi do not need that extra million in their yearly contract. But it is a sort of a metric of how good they actually are, compared to similar contracts.

I'm very demotivated after the last job. I don't want to start anything new. After the previous job I started Markdawn and Sublevel. I was very optimistic about the future, now I'm not. I'm thinking about doing a project management app. This is my only idea.
Yiorgos Adampoulos
You shouldn't. If anything, you have an implementation to show around. That alone puts you ahead of a lot of people who are with ideas only. "With their mouth people build castles" people say in my country. You've actually built a least one (not just with your mount). Like someone else said: Maybe working freelance for a while will help. You will see how you can augment other people's problems with your ideas. New stuff will arise in the process. Do not give up. As an example WD-40 was the 40th test people say. You at least have to try 38 more times.

Why is it so?
Yiorgos Adampoulos
I don't know. Maybe twitter and FB have distorted my expectations of what a TL should look like

Returning to sublevel after more than a week. How could I have more traffic here? It seems that friends from other SNPs have not followed. Pity. Sublevel reminds me of FriendFeed. I liked FF.
