If I'm viewing a news article and it's soft paywalled, I'll often go into the URL bar in chrome and prefix the URL with archive.is/ which brings you to a full copy of the article.

Is there any app out there that can act as a share intent or whatever it's called so if you click "share" and then pick the app from the menu, it would do this for you?

Part time tech work? (sh.itjust.works)

Following another thread a few days ago someone's comment is stuck in my head:

https://lemmy.world/comment/1342605

Quick background: I've spent about 20 years in technology. I've been an in-house dev for a traditional company. I've been a sales engineer for a small software company. I then went to a FAANG and spent 10+ years as a sales engineer, software engineer and engineering manager. The last year+ I've been on a self-funded sabbatical to try to figure out what I want to do next. I just... haven't done a whole lot of figuring.

I'd strongly prefer something part-time, and also strongly prefer something that's nearly 100% remote.

Ideas that have come to mind:

  • Software sales engineering (again)
  • Technical Project Manager
  • Entry level dev work
  • Get certified to be a SalesForce administrator
  • Something something DevOps?

I think I'd like something where there was a queue of work to pull from and just get some shit done. Over the last 5-10 years it got exhausing having to be involved in mostly long-term planning and not get the pavlovian "oh I just closed another bug" itch scratched. Though I guess that somewhat eliminates the TPM idea?

For any of the above, or something else, I don't even know where to start. Are there decent temp agencies to work for who can farm you out? Do they deal with part-timers? I could probably work my network as well to try to find something.
