The author isn't wrong that "Senior" is probably a bit of an inflation for what it means in the industry - competent enough to work on medium to large projects with little oversight - but Staff, Senior Staff and Principal tit

I'm not sure what your environment of choice is, but I use Python with Django which has great built-in email/password auth and a really nice user admin tool[0] if that's all your looking for. For third-party authentication&#x

Great to see this happen again after the original "The New Deal" in 2014[0]. I'm a big believer in having enough capital to not have to worry about day-to-day costs so you can focus on actually running and growing your busi

Thanks for noticing! The templates on the page are adapted from the actual tools in the app. They use sample data that has dates that are updated whenever the page is rendered. It's all cached on the backend so it doesn't end up c

Hey HN, I've been building Intuition as a side project for a few months now to scratch my own itch. I believe that there are a ton of valuable insights sitting in the meta data in Git repositories and developer-focused tools (JIRA, Tr

If you are already in the Bay Area, I would recommend that you probably just stay there unless you don't plan on raising VC. It's certainly not the only place you can start a company, but it is still one of the best places to do i

Hey, I just went through your signup questionnaire to test it out (I work in a similar space in the US). It felt very long to me in comparison with most services I've looked at. I'm not sure what the regulations in Chile require y

This seems like a poor choice of technology rather than an outright nefarious decision. Polymer [0] uses the shadow dom api [1] extensively, but shadow dom v1 still isn't fully implemented across all vendors and shadow dom v0 is deprec

To me, the core points seem like table stakes knowledge that one should have before jumping into development with ANY language, not just Python. Every language is a tool that is good at some things and not good at others. Cue the standard i
