I generally believe that, but there is such a thing as “too far”. Your (I’m assuming well intentioned) arguments are those that people abusing power trot out whenever it suits them, because it works so well to get them off the hook when the

It’s a good thing that they’ve committed many blatant and easily provable criminal acts then. The type you spend the rest of your life in prison for, if you’re not being protected by captured systems. Market manipulation, insider trading, e

I think you’re being disingenuous and deliberately trying to refocus the conversation on something else now. He literally said “if you vote for me, you won’t need to vote again”. It’s not an ambiguous statement and doesn’t require extra con

I think at that point founder taste comes in. “Strong opinions loosely held” comes to mind, in that you should already have some pretty strong ideas about where you want your product to go. Otherwise why build it? or maybe, why you specific

Go looking for them wherever you think they might gather or hang out (online or in person). Reach out to those who seem like a good fit and ask them about the problem(s) they’re having that your product solves. Once you know if your product

Good advice. Do you think the part of point two about building every feature request might be a bit risky for some solo folks? It’s easy to get carried away building every request, especially with early adopters who likely aren’t actually i

We can also invert that by asking: does a student become smarter by writing their essay on their own? I would argue that the answer to questions is no. It depends on how you define “smarter”, though. You would likely gain knowledge writing

It's also entirely possible, maybe even likely, for people to get burnt out doing something they love because we don't set the natural boundaries we would with something we're strictly doing pragmatically. I still think it&#x

While I agree that would be great for many people, how are 99% of young people supposed to survive during this time? How do they pay their rent, buy groceries, and pay for these explorations without wage work?

Configurable warnings as webhooks would be pretty cool. Then I can automate whatever needs to happen on my side. I already automate apps, machines, etc with the machines API and GraphQL, so my big worries in this area are: - Woops, some bad

I built approximated.app on elixir, proxying 300k+ domains. It's a great ecosystem, I've never seen anything else handle really hard problems so well in my 15 years as a developer. Concurrency? Trivial. Reliability? Unbelievable.

I guess it depends on how you define urban (are suburbs still urban?). I think you're kind of right in that currently suburbs are terrible to live in without a car. But if there was magically a huge shift to much better public transpor

My experience with my own pixel 7 pro and a pixel 5 has been that these devices are an order of magnitude lower in build quality than Samsung or iPhones. I really, really wanted to be happy with them but they've been a never ending sou

Ah yes, I too have accidentally committed node_modules. Jokes aside, and coming from a place of ignorance, it's interesting to me that a file count that size is still a real performance issue for git. I'd have expected something

My thinking is that it would be a bit like email: run your own server if you want, and the other 99% can use any of the zillion hosting services that exist or would crop up to do it for you with the ease of Gmail.

True, but from what I've seen the usernames on every social solution, decentralized or not, are essentially leased too aren't they? Either they're based around a domain you control or they're under someone else's co

This is how I've been feeling but I'm assuming there's more to this that I just don't know. I keep thinking, what if we: 1. Use domains/subdomains as usernames by just... having the content on them. 2. Follow a trul

In your example, you compare Lambda against a separate monolith for handling the webhooks, but with a monolith wouldn't the comparison be between lambda and just adding a route and controller (or equivalent) to the monolith?

Isn't the main problem that this change forces all software development, regardless of purpose, to be classified as R&E and therefore forced to be amortized?
