On the other hand, Canva made a genius move to partner with Claude for this. One of my favorite products as a non designer.

I am beyond convinced at this point that you either run an Open Source Project with a small revenue company (single digit millions) or run a software company that does more than 10M ARR at the least and be closed source. I know there are ex

Just like any other abstraction that helps you do things more efficiently. Database is an abstraction over the more crude file system. It is similar to asking the question "why not write direct assembly code instead of a programming la

Exactly. For example, we replaced a couple of toilets and wasn't that urgent. So we called him and he gave us an appointment after a week.

This is such an important point. My plumber that we always call is extremely busy and usually doesn't have availability for at least a week. He is a one man shop and prefers it that way. You call his phone, leave a voicemail and he cal

$6000 for both SOC 2 and ISO 27001 with Pen tests ? lol. I paid over $8k just for ISO 27001 for our small company and have been quoted a lot more for SOC 2.

Finding people who take their career/job seriously and actually care. And no, it is not just a money problem.

Want to exit my Tech business and get into Family Entertainment business (I really want to try that business). Not 10 but may be in 5 years.

Always shoot your shot. If you never ask, the answer is always No. Good luck!!

"AI did it" is the new "Dog ate my homework". You are blaming someone/something else for your own failures.

If selling, you can get away with bad buyers as long as the deal is mostly cash upfront. However, I would highly advise against buying from a seller you cannot trust. Imagine they already showed you during the deal process when they have an

Before you think about lawyers, I would say be careful dealing with industry leaders because they may just be sniffing and not really serious. There are plenty of cases where a larger industry leader reaches out in disguise of acquisition a

I would at least update body tag to add basic css to make this more readable: <body style="width:80%;margin:auto;">

The thing is that most people who claim that AI will kill SAAS have never run a SAAS business themselves or have never properly used a SAAS as a real customer for multiple years. SAAS companies are not just about the software. They provide

I am not that smart to use Rust so take it with a grain of salt. However, its syntax just makes me go crazy. Go/Golang on the other hand is a breath of fresh air. I think unless you really need that additional 20% improvement that Rust

You can build a .NET application without being locked in the usual MS ecosystem. I am building a greenfield SAAS product in .NET with VueJS and Postgres. Will deploy on AWS, Cloudflare etc.

I am building a new product from scratch in .NET. Not the full traditional MS stack but just .NET for backend and VueJS for frontend and Postgres for DB. I don't use things like Azure, SQL Server etc but .NET is solid. So yes.

Incredible. I am really interested in trying pgdog for our B2B SAAS product. Will do some testing.

Stupid question but does this shard the database as well or do we shard manually and then setup the configuration accordingly ?

May be dont show them under "Show HN" unless the post has accumulated a certain number of points/upvotes ? Just like a regular new post comes on front page.

Most B2B SAAS is not going to go to zero just because of AI. B2B Customers don't want to build their own tools generally unless it is their core business. Before AI, customers used to hire developers/vendors to solve a problem. Af

I am not sure if AI is a complete bubble. To me, it is similar to Amazon, Uber etc in their early days when they were just burning cash but were providing something of great value to consumers. Ultimately, they figured out a way to get cash

You are jumping to conclusions. The author is the CTO of the largest online brokerage in India but more importantly, they have created many open source software of good quality. His website and blog are of great quality. Whether you think t

"$60M Seed round" I guess when you are Ex-Github CEO, it is that easy raising a $60M seed. I wonder what the record for a seed round is. This is crazy.

Nothing to study. A common scenario when a mega corp acquires an incredibly successful startup and then lets it die. Happens more often than not. This is why I chuckle when I see an acquisition and the founders claim "Nothing is changi

I am sure that the guy whose name is on the Post didn't even write this himself. Probably some corporate writer using LLM :).

Sorry but tailwindui is not a SAAS. There is no service or hosting. You buy a coded template once and then receive updates. It is totally not the same as a critical B2B SAAS that is running 24-7 on the vendor's servers providing real s
