I ignored it for years and things are still great. Still running with simple Bootstrap themes, jQuery and mostly server side rendering and have thousands of users on my side project and lots of paying ones too. Confident I could scale this

The article is good but it’s missing a big point that equity in startups is tied to risk taken not to contributions. Many people, including myself, make this mistake the first round at startups. The mistake of believing if you work hard the

Appreciate your comment, it’s good learning for me to hear a different opinion. I might have extrapolated the benefits of a capitalist system too far. But the main point still stands I think, the response to the above comment and the fact t

Capitalism for all its flaws at least taps into what motivates people to work really hard and encourages it. It mimics nature itself. Some ideas might be mundane but others can be extraordinary, it’s par for the course. As an example, Capit

I know a lot of people make their money on here from these companies. Heck, I interviewed at one of them twice. But my gut says these two are no longer good companies to work for. If you need the money desperately then do what you need to d

Nearly every system in nature has some slack baked into it. Take the human brain, pound for pound it packs more neurons in it than any other animals brain on the planet. 20% of the glucose we burn goes to power the brain, in children it’s c

I have been doing a lot of writing lately, short and longer essays. I have also written on-and-off for the last ten years. Writing well is not easy. I used to think I wrote well until I started reading better writers. The whole idea that we

I have found a lot of power in doing a retrospective on my own failures. This post is very well written and I completely agree with the author that we should hear more about failure from others but I also think too many of us go through our

This was just posted and already there are two types of comments: 1. Most devs don’t need this, it’s not so helpful to know etc. 2. These are critical numbers to know and in the very least devs should know these numbers. This sort of disagr

I thought about that believe me, it would keep things simple for sure. There are a lot of features to consider these days though, such as a newsletter and building an audience, the editing process, etc. You can basically have the power of t

As someone who currently works in healthcare tech I can tell you that taking on health records is one of the riskiest things any company could ever do. In fact we try to keep health records as isolated as technically, and humanly, possible.
