Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (January 2024)
Location: Ireland (Galway)
Remote: yes
Willing to relocate: yes
Technologies: Go ("Golang"), Python, Ruby, JavaScript, Linux, Unix, PostgreSQL
Résumé/CV: https://www.arp242.net/cv/cv-martintournoij
Email: [email protected]
I've been using Go as my primary language for the last seven years, although I don't overly care about the specific language and have experience with a wide variety of tools and languages such as Python, Ruby, PHP, C, JavaScript, Lua, and probably some more. While I've mainly focused on backend in the last few years, I also have written plenty of frontend code over the years, from the "pre-jQuery" days to VueJS.
In the last few years I mainly focused on GoatCounter (https://www.goatcounter.com) with the occasional contract job, but I'm keen to start working on something new for the longer term.
I've got quite a bit of code on my GitHub, so you can take a look at that if you want: https://github.com/arp242/

Using Analytics on My Website
I suggest using analytics that you can self-host, like https://www.goatcounter.com/ and renting a cheap vm to run it on along with your blog. It is way better, you have more control and you can be sure that javascript tracking is working for 100% of people using the site since you have full control over it not getting blocked by adblockers.

Ask HN: Is Google Analytics that useful?
I'm self-hosting GoatCounter and using it across all my websites.
Apart from controlling my data, I also have more accurate visitor statistics, as it doesn't get picked up by script blockers, unlike GA.

What has your personal website/blog done for you?
I first used basic google analytics but found it too invasive/heavy so I switched over to https://www.goatcounter.com/.
For comments, most solutions were also too heavy, paid or had ads, but I finally found https://giscus.app/.
So while I did add these 2 features, I'm happy with those variants that I managed to find.

Simple and privacy-friendly alternative to Google Analytic
I am now looking at https://nullitics.com (https://github.com/nullitics/nullitics) to jump away from Google Analytics, and quite like it. For self-hosted option I would probably use GoAccess. In general, I like the trend that more and more alternatives appear, competition is never a bad thing.

Google Analytics: Stop feeding the beast
I am currently working on exactly this! I have always been dreaming of a low-cost, zero-effort web analytics.
So far I have made an open source library/service, I've been using it for my blog and a few other sites for over two months. It is available at https://github.com/nullitics/nullitics.
For the cloud version I decided to go with 1€/month, and I have often been criticised for choosing such a low price. However, I belive that I would rather be at a lower profit, but help bloggers, hackers and other who want such a tool.
