It's web service that allows you to channel your google docs through a more human-friendly name. So, you link
opendocs.to/your-name/resume (an example link)
to your public resume at docs.google.com/dlkjbalksdfd
It's a simple redirect service, but it just looks nicer, and I think the opendocs.to sounds natural. Got to learn a lot with this one, using Vite/React, Node, Postgres all in Docker, with a local profile that builds nginx inside with the containers, or a prod profile on the server where nginx proxies into the containers.
Anyways, check it out!
Right now, only free tier available as I some last tweaking and checking.
Started working career as engineer almost 20 years ago, then went off to explore. Always kept up technical interests: Mathematics, Physics, Programming, Embedded Software. But unfortunately not super deep. Glad to start at the very beginning and work hard to learn and come up to speed. Can sort of go anywhere, can sort of accept any salary - just eager to build stuff well, instead of being a dilettante.
I'm a STEM teacher with a B.S. in Chem Engineering and several websites and apps online. Looking for more challenging, technical work; willing to learn your tools.
Thanks! For me #1 is really important too. I think just trying, especially with software, is so important. The language is one I'm thinking about - some of my students are self-studying AP CS which is centered on Java, but that language seems more difficult to start building things you can see (as opposed to just HTML/javascript) but maybe I'm just not as versed in it.
Thank you! Yes, I think tangible projects are a really strong approach - I'm trying to figure out a suite of realistic projects, so students can choose the one they most respond to.
At first I smirked when I read your American bit... but then I wondered... what if those were design choices?
For example, what if someone figured out the average sit-time of gasoline in the jerrycan, the average fault rate and leak rate of the lesser seam, and the average production time and lifespan of the jerrycan - then decided the sometimes leakier version was better because it was lighter, more quickly manufactured, etc?
And then perhaps American soldiers were more likely to pilfer gasoline for joy-rides or bartering, or to steal and sell the jerrycans themselves to their liberated friends and lovers, or for some other reason these cans were more likely to be "lost" as the Wikipedia article vaguely mentions - thus, make the can useless without the spanner and funnel, so as to make it a little less tempting for an improper owner to run off with?
Maybe?
Just thinking out loud.
But these questions reminded me just how fascinating everyday objects can be.
