edgedns VS pyp2p

For the biggest pioneers, there is also a variant to build your own GeoDNS service with your own name servers. But for this to make sense and real value, anycast IP addresses would be needed. Also a number of other reliable servers around the world with DDoS protection and then understand, select and adapt eg EdgeDNS or Czech Knot DNS (which also uses Cloudflare). However, commercial GeoDNS services are relatively cheap and reliable, so we can’t imagine an ROI that would make sense with our own small, non-commercial DNS solution.

Very good question. I don't have a degree so the way that I use to demonstrate my skills is all due to public projects. I'll show you the main projects that really landed me my first tech jobs. Granted, they weren't very good and have many engineering problems. I was still learning at the time but here they are:

1. https://github.com/robertsdotpm/pyp2p - This was an attempt to make a peer-to-peer networking library in Python. Don't use it or anything as it's horrible code. But it was enough to get me a job at a startup called Storj. I messaged the team and was able to talk about specific about the challenges of peer-to-peer networking which were relevant to the product they were building.

2. https://github.com/robertsdotpm/coinbend - This was my attempt to build a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange whereby all trades were done without the need for an intermediary to hold deposits using smart contracts. This was actually one of the first 'decentralized exchanges' made at a time when the only coins that existed were forks of Bitcoin. It was impressive enough to land me a job at Exodus which is still the most incredible company in the blockchain space.

((If anyone's wondering: I lost both jobs due to severe untreated depression. Lmaoo... But I'm on meds now.)) But yeah, companies absolutely will hire people without degrees and based on the quality of the projects you've worked on. I know that many people say that working on side projects doesn't matter. But you need to actually talk about your projects and reach out to people for it to matter. If you just apply through HR they'll just go through a generic list of things to check off while they look at your resume.

By the way OP: I've always found that taking the effect to actually understand the problems that companies are trying to solve and outlining how existing work that you've done qualifies you to provide a solution is the fastest way to get a job. But again -- you need to reach the people who know what you mean. Shout out to Storj and Exodus -- both great companies that I would recommend.
