Ok, it's hard to imagine that such people exist but I believe what you say. You are right, they should rather use Medium.

Why should I discover content on Medium? This job is done by HN and Reddit and unfortunately Facebook if I am on FB. I don't have time to get sucked in another feed.

Wordpress is for sure powerful, has a huge ecosystem and is for teams a safe bet because of very good and battle-tested workflows. But sorry, I don't want to setup a stack I did 20 years ago. However, I haven't looked into Wordpre

I disagree. It doesn't matter what kind of coder you are, at some point you always deal with a shell. And setting up a blog on bare metal is done in few minutes on a shell. If you have never faced a shell or a remote server as a develo

Totally agree. Code embedding is also limited on Medium, I think they still lack syntax highlighting. Btw, great tip wih Netlify. How is your experience with them, what are pros cons compared to Github Pages and can I run server code like N

To the point criticism of Medium, very detailed and the OP is picking the right issues of Medium. While Medium looks so beautiful and clean at first glance it really disappoints when you use it on a daily base both as a creator and as a use

How should this work? Once somebody is trending on such platforms, labels will come, give them tons of money, a contract and take over. And take them away from these platforms as well.

No, I find his sentence just odd. I googled 'content corpus' and couldn't find anything meaningful, thus my comment. I assumed something in the direction what you wrote, btw way better articulated, but I wanted to get it conf

They have. But still, every founder wants to avoid such situations. The founding team's reputation went from sky to hell within few weeks. Not nice and nobody wants to loose their face like this.

Best comment in the thread. It shows that one of SoundCloud's key problem is an oligopolostic industry they are dealing with.

Discord has a super fast and slick on-boarding. It's actually just one click and way better than Slack's on-boarding. Other than that it's quite similar.

Again the same old accusations without a single source ('local presentation', of course!).

Can I use Postgres fully schemeless without even defining any collection (table) or db before doing the first write (which is possible with Mongo).

> Send queries to any server in the cluster and they get routed automatically. Nice! Also the writes? Mongo wants the writes to the primary only.

Right. To navigate the site you can use browser extensions like Vimium. There is even an extension for using Vim bindings in HTML text areas but this one doesn't work on mobile and also on desktop it's a bit clumsy. I would just e

Interesting question. What you ask for is a '360 feedback' which is usually a smart way to get rid of people without being the predator ('the team is not happy with you...').

Sometimes a tl;dr might be also a subtle and polite hint: The original post could be much shorter and/or its headline could be more expressive and/or less click-baity.

Ultra fast trading in millisenconds + real-time updates of all orders are the key requirements for any exchange. Not sure how a decentralized exhange could manage this.

tl;dr: Wall Street Journal ended allowing special access for search engines through their paywall. By spoofing Twitter app's Referer and User Agent access is still possible and an included Chrome Extension script implements this idea.
