I think this is a good moment to bring up a question I was thinking on earlier today. In a world where agents are searching, building, and signing up for services, how do you advertise your product? And not just advertise in traditional sen

How do people on HN like Row Level Security? Is it a better way to handle multi-tenant in a cloud SaaS app vs `WHERE` clauses in SQL? Worse? Nicer in theory but less maintainable in practice? fwiw, Prisma has a guide on how to do RLS with i

Yep! I answered on another comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35891575 I might expand on this in a blog post.

I think this is a good question. Screenshots are hard on HN, but I could write up a blog post about it all once I have a demo of the game. I've been using ChatGPT and GPT-4 since they came out, so I'm pretty aware of their limitat

Thanks for the response! It sounds like (in a good way) there's no shortcut. You build something, make it better, make it great, and talk about it for a long time to establish credibility. Probably a good lesson in there for everyone.

TypeScript happens to be my current strongest language. I picked Phaser since I wanted to learn the ins and outs of building the game and not need to worry about the language I was writing in. This was also helpful because GPT-4 would still

I was thinking of building this for Next.js in a very similar way. I love the fact that this exists for a different stack! I think your implementation of the project template is definitely the way to go. As a customer, when I buy something

So, currently OpenAI's Dalle-2 gives me: "The server is overloaded right now, please try again later." I guess all their compute power is going to power this. And even now the Bing generation is taking a long time. Definitely

This is very similar to an except in Derek Sivers book on cdbaby.com. (CD Baby let independent artists sell their music CDs on the site long before iTunes). In it, he writes: At a conference in Los Angeles, someone in the audience asked

Good. I've seen over and over this harm friends in frustrating ways. Tech aside, non-competes in other industries are completely insane. My wife is an optometrist and all local shops have draconic noncompetes you are forced to sign. If

I want to like this a lot, but it's not quite there for me. A datum says it is "Project Billing" and has a rate of $300. Is that $300 per hour? Is that $300 total? What does that mean? I need to be able to filter by location.

Don't hire until you need to. And then don't hire until you want to. I'm doubtful every business can make it to $14M ARR, but I bet many companies could generate $1M ARR without needing employees. And that amount of money w
