Since we're talking about Kevin Mitnick on Hacker News, I have to mention: I recently re-read "Cyberpunk: Outlaws and Hackers on the Computer Frontier". It was published in 1991 and the first third of the book provides an ear

Taylor's response to a similar thread on Reddit[1]: Hey all! Kinda surprised this has "taken off" haha It has nothing to do with raising money. It has everything to do with the fact that based on the data we have, there is a

Love this! I did this in 2020 and until today I hadn't seen anyone else who had done it. If anyone is tempted, I recommend finishing the job with Micro-Mesh. IIRC, I went up to 12,000 grit and it results in a nicely polished look that

Update on this: We do now include Turbo by default and the "Cable Collections" feature in the linked video has been completely reimplemented by the CableReady team in a feature called "Updatable", which we now use in Bul

Not at all! You can use Bullet Train and Avo together or you can use them independently. Avo is the recommended admin library to use with Bullet Train.

Thank you! This was the work of Tamik Soziev, who also created the original theme for Bullet Train itself. I'll make sure to pass on the note!

Yes, this is true that we lean heavily into Tailwind CSS by default. However, when I implemented our "new" component system in 2021, I designed it so that there was a path forward for Bullet Train on vanilla CSS or Bootstrap if an

Wow, hi everyone! Was just about to walk over for the first day of RailsConf when a friend let me know we were #1 here! Honored! I'm the original creator of Bullet Train, although a number of people now work on it. It's been a fun

Yeah, you're not alone. Aaron posted a thread on Twitter that shares the inside skinny on what it took to ship this course ( https://twitter.com/aarondfrancis/status/1638191349261377539 ) but I had an early pee

Hey KRains, author of Bullet Train here! Congratulations on your launch and making the front page of HN! I know how great a feeling that is after all your hard work! I disagree that Bullet Train is "really overpriced". The feature

Honestly, can you think of a smarter move on the part of Microsoft than making Nat Friedman (a veteran of the Open Source community) CEO of Github? I completely trust this guy to do as good a job as can be done of guiding Github forward as

Hey all, this is me. This setup is a new MacBook Pro powering two 55" 4K displays. I bought my first 55" 4K display a few years ago and having so much screen real estate was a game changer for me. One of my favorite things about h

Being a developer is a certified superpower, so it's fair to expect that some of the life hacks unlocked by being a developer are on a life changing scale. Here's my recommendation: Build a machine that prints money. Find a proble
