Discord has a fairly successful subscription product that is generating tens of millions in revenue. They most certainly have made more than 0 dollars. Profitable? Less likely.

This looks great and super approachable. WorkOS[0] seems to be tackling something similar but more enterprise focused. [0]: https://workos.com/

I've found Google domains to be considerably more expensive than Namecheap. Anyone have a good reason to use it over other registrars?

A common scenario where this approach fails: applying physics in realtime cross platform games. The floating point math involved is pretty much impossible to guarantee same results for. Deterministic physics engines do exist but they genera

Unrelated to the article itself, but the design of this page on mobile is a beautiful experience.

Hey Spencer, congrats on going public! I’ve been a happy Amplitude customer at several companies now. If you were starting a company today, what would you do differently from how you approached starting Amplitude?

It's worth noting that their margins have improved significantly this year and will presumably continue to do so over the following years. For comparison, their loss in Q2 2021 was $591m compared to $1.42b for Q2 2020 ( https:/&#x

I made https://paymewith.xyz to share my social payments faster. Got tired of the “do you have Venmo/Square Cash/Paypal” dance.

OpenAPI is just the format for describing APIs for various use cases such as documentation, runtime validation, and yes, even code generation. Depending in the language you use, the support for code generation may vary though. I’m certainly

This looks awesome, I like that it doesn't require having to proxy to generate the spec. Does this rely on code introspection or somehow listens for traffic without proxying?

They mention in the article that it's mostly due to familiarity with Go: > CockroachDB is primarily a Go code base, and the Cockroach Labs engineers have developed broad expertise in Go.

> drastically improve the quality of their docs. This is surprising, I've always found their docs to be world class. Their API reference site is especially nice. What have you found lacking other than the Elixir library?
