I have sold B2B SAAS for 10+ years and I have seen it all. It all depends on the size of your buyer's organization, amount of politics involved (if larger org), red tapes to go through and various other challenges. Let's break it

They have 1000s if not 100s and 1000s of customers. I know because my company is an edtech platform and we have a lot of customers using vimeo as their video host.

I dont know the solution but few things that are root cause: - Internet and Social Media - Neighborhoods no longer are walkable especially suburbs at least in America. Kids are not encouraged to go bike to their friends place anymore becaus

Every developer should learn the basics of Servers, Linux, VPS hosting etc. It is not that hard especially with the amount of information that's online. You mentioned Golang. For those languages, it is even easier because you literally

Exactly. This is a very low effort post. OP wants a chilled job but also wants autonomy, fully remote and are on a Visa. I would be doing the opposite of looking for a chill job if I am on a visa especially right now.

Not $6000/Year but $60,000/Year. Not sure if you missed a 0. Google AI is listed as a Partner sponsor which costs $5000/Month or $60,000/Year. Since Adam's audio and twitter post went viral, he has aded about 5 part

Yea I agree that free UI kits like ShadCN basically blew everyone else away. I mean ShadCN has over 100k Stars on Github which is more than even Tailwind. So you can imagine the popularity. Having said that, I do think that AI is a factor a

There is no official alert from HN. People have built their own. You can try this one that has been running for a while: https://www.hnreplies.com/

Tell me the company you work for and I can give you a few reasons why your work makes the world a better place. It is not a binary thing. Almost all work we do has some meaning no matter how boring or useless it may seem. For example, lets

This doesn't make sense. Nvidia literally has offices all over the world including India (a country that gets the most flak for offshoring). So why now ? Suddenly, "offshoring bad" ? I don't buy it. I think it is more ab

I have a question about Monorepo. Do companies really expose their entire source code all in one repo for their devs to download ? I understand that people can always do bad things if they want but with monorepo, you are literally letting m

I am sorry for the OP but this is a perfect example of "You don't need cloud at your stage". Get a $10 VPS and call it a day. Unless you have 1000s of daily active users, a $10 VPS with a solid backup strategy will work. Heck

Run an LMS product. https://academyofmine.com Working on a big pivot for next year. Funny but the pivot is to go more headless but for learning platform. Would follow your journey going forward.

I personally have a hard time taking anyone seriously who claim things like "4 hour work week". It is a mockery of every real successful person who has worked extremely hard especially early on and it sets a dangerous expectations

To survive against Outsourcing/cheaper labor and AI, I would agree.

My take is that these are not binary issues. With outsourcing, it is true that you can hire someone cheaper in Asian countries but it cannot kill all jobs locally. So what happens is that the absolute average/mediocre get replaced by o

"BUT I see juniors often are the ones who actually understand AI tools better than seniors" Sorry, what does that mean exactly ? Are you claiming that a junior dev knows how to ask the right prompts better than a Senior dev ?

The keyword is "building". Yes costs may have dropped 90% just to build software. But there are 1000 other things that comes after it to run a successful software for months let alone years. - Maintenance, Security - Upgrades and

With your logic, we will never have any new innovations being tried. This is a Show HN for a product someone built. No one is asking every corporation/company to replace K8s with this. It is a different and simpler take on the complexi

I would just add the option to add your own Plaid key or do manual imports.

Sometimes, its just luck or timing. But I usually upvote open source projects with an actual website and not just a repo. Thats me of course. Also, the UI screenshots from your github didn't look that appealing. Hope this feedback is h
