fwiw, I know it's the right thing to run tests from a different computer. But it's more annoying. And I hereby tell you that 90% of the time it probably doesn't matter. Definitely times it isn't true. But if you're

We debate everything ad nauseum at work. I'm going to try the FG scale. We'll see if I get fired for being disengaged.

Rails if I care about the project more than about the tech. Python FastAPI if I want LLM backends. Using Netlify for deploys. Prefab for config / logging. commander-rb for CLI. replit for projects I want to collaborate on with kids.

The big question with these is whether / how you expect people to update. Or whether you just start with it and then never update. We did https://bullettrain.co/ but the longer we're on it the more painful upgrade

Be transparent with your boss about how it's affecting you, while also being sensitive that a lot of people are in a similar boat. The journey to liquidity is long. There will be more grants in the future. We had a small down one, even

Tools in my space are usually 5-10x. Letting people be on-prem kills your upside for NRR. You need to have something compensating.

I liked boston the city whenI was there. It's no New York, but the common and esplanade are beautiful and it's certainly not _dead_. Seaport is cool, even if it totally blows my mind how much they've built at a level that is

This is only an issue if you have more than 1 language. Almost every language or framework has a good solution for configuration these days.

1000%! All those things that were so great and wonderful at bigcorp... pretty often turns out they fixed issues that are a decade old and the state of the world has often made them irrelevant. Certainly at startup scale.

everytime I get a new computer it takes me 5 seconds to remember that I can't live without sizeup. But I can never remember the name of the app because it's just ctr-opt-cmd-left in my head.

The problem isn't so much the actual culling. The problem is the tax it puts on everyone for the rest of the year to self-promote and make sure they don't get caught accidentally. If you put your head down and do great work, you j
