On the other hand, I consider v8 the most extreme optimized runtime in a weird way, in that there’re like 100 people on the planet understand how it works, while the rest of us be like “why my JS not fast”

The other thing is.. installer generally only runs once on a single machine, not sure how useful it is to “show the changes since last run”

Obviously the article is making valid points. But a recent epiphany I had is, things by default are just mediocre but works. Of course the first shot at this problem is not going to be very good, very much like the first version of JavaScri

I agree except I think 100 lines is definitely worth a method, whereas 15 lines is obviously not worthy for the most cases and yet we do that a lot. My principle has always been: “is this part a isolated and intuitive subroutine that I can

Am I right to say that this is a template on top of cloudflare durable objects, not an actual software of its own?

This is I believe how ziglang works on its asynchronous story

Yeah this is exactly what I ended up doing, like two days ago. It’s quite a pitfall… (and not optimal in terms of performance)

Exactly this. This incident has proven MSFT’s strong hands without a board seat and they don’t really need it if things do/did go off the rails.

How does it work with nodejs? Iirc they don’t support ebpf

Engineers at small startups are generally founder minded. They’re like founders, and are passionate about the product and the problem. That’s how they get to decide/involve in the decision about what to work on

Thanks for replying! Another question is, what motivated you to start this effort in the first place? And why do you think it's useful. I haven't read the book, so not really sure

by shivawu 7y ago
Great job! How long did you spend on writing the book?

What you said makes sense, but only to limited set of people. Not all people are interested/capable of learning how it works underneath. There're like, I don't know, hundreds of thousands of React developers in the world, ver

Pay to get work! That's one way to phrase it, I'll remember that, LOL

The first part makes perfect sense. > That said I don’t often get asked for source code during interviews these days, so probably the ability to host the minified code for a demo would be enough. I'm a little bit confused about this

Thanks for the feedback! Sounds like a good idea to provide a free trial. But I also want to make sure that people are actually interested in paying. What specifically do you mean, by "how the spec is laid out, and how the solution is

Thanks for the feedback! The homepage is actually sorta old. I'll update it.

by shivawu 7y ago
That's actually... interesting. I haven't thought about it this way. I guess you mean people want it to be part their portfolio, which actually makes a lot of sense. I don't have the best answer yet, but I guess one thing is

I'm curious about why you chose to open source it. For me personally, I would be happy to pay for the hosted version if it's useful, and not worry about hosting my own.

Thanks for the comment. Yes and no. On the job seeking perspective, what you said is right. Typically what people do is signing an NDA, but even with that, the question/solution still sometimes leak on the Internet. On the learning sce

I don't personally know a lot about ML, but what you said matches what I heard from friends who does ML. What's your thoughts on Kaggle? Is it similar?

Glad you like it! Mind sharing a bit about your learning experience, so that I can learn from it? :)

Thanks! Let me know if things work for you. You can reach me with the Intercom chat window too.

Could you be more specific about what is the "spec" you're looking for? As for examples, we do have some examples of separate tasks (non projects) in the tasks page, that should explain how things work really well.
25.
by shivawu 7y ago
Yes, it's true. Sorry about the confusion.

by shivawu 7y ago
Sorry it wasn't clear enough. Yeah, I'll try to deliver that message more clearly...

by shivawu 7y ago
Thank you! :D

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to make it happen... We were originally thinking since you need a computer to actually do the project, so didn't bother making the mobile version at the beginning.

by shivawu 7y ago
Thanks for that! That's exactly the idea, and the thing we build needs to be useful in the real world, not some artificial thing that never exists :)
