He's a software engineer... Nothing is easier than just opening a text editor and writing HTML. Surely not static site generators and proprietary webapps. But to each their own. I don't want to have to read documentation in order

This is amazing. This is the most comprehensive write-up on software product development I've ever read. By anyone. And it's the only post on product development I've ever read in my entire life that has specific examples t

CORS is useless, unnecessary, insecure, and essentially only serves to annoy developers. Par for the course for all web tech from the last 20 years. Another turd in the tower of shit that is JavaScript.

HTML files. HTML works out-of-the-box, offline, and with any editor. It's deployed easily, works with Git, and is practically free.

Huawei isn’t a threat to national security. Consumer computer software is not a threat to national security. This is a justification for a trade war the president and his advisors want to engage in.

Wordpress blogs are not dead. 30% of websites are WordPress. Are you sure it's not your reading habits that have changed? For example, I wake up and check my RSS reader (feedbin) where I subscribe to hundreds of individual blogs (many

Very few programmers are proficient in Haskell, and operating systems and language tooling are built around imperative C-style semantics. Combine that with the fact that most of the software industry does not care about correctness or stabl

It’s the accountants who’ve taken things too literally.

According to accountants the food in my fridge and the cocaine on the table is an asset. Even credit card debt can be an asset according to the accountants. Accounting expenses as assets just because you can sell them is stupid. Let’s divid

What kind of backwards finance is that? A house costs money, it doesn’t earn money. An asset it something that makes you money, like rental income from rental properties, profit from a business or investment, stocks, or bonds. A liability i

A home is not necessarily an asset or wealth. For the vast majority of homeowners their home is their largest liability (it costs them money). The idea that spending money to buy a home is “building wealth” is incredibly stupid. It’s bad ad

Not a surprise when you consider that more people are spending money to go to college, where they are mostly taught to be poor (spend money on school, rely on a job for income, spend your money on a house, do what you love, etc.)

Google isn’t a monopoly and using a competing search engine is quite easy. Pretty sad that providing an excellent service that customers love is seen as a bad thing, especially on HN. Sad bitter people celebrating the thought of Google bein

What problem? Who cares if you upset the company? Just get another job.

This is just an excuse you tell yourself to not start a company. A cop-out. Nobody at your current employer is going to know or care you started a company. Don’t listen to most of the comments here, they’ve been brainwashed into fear and su

I’m so sick of the software industry expecting developers to do the work of the entrepreneurs for them without any of the upside. Why the fuck should I help the owner get rich by identifying how to grow their business by increasing conversi

Glad I live in and do business from the US where we don’t have to deal with this wasteful and oppressive law.

More hateful unnecessary government regulation that harms people just trying to work and make a life for themselves.

The world isn’t fair. Pontificating about how the world isn’t fair is useless. It’s a waste of your time. Both Paul and Matthew would be more helpful by providing advice to effectively deal with one’s situation in order to found a company.

There is no evidence that dietary soy intake changes indigenous estrogen production or estrogen blood levels in a significant manor. Quite the contrary, observational studies of humans who get high amounts of dietary soy, findings have show

Everyone is free to be a CEO. If salaries are really too high it should be easy to get a CEO position by undercutting everyone else. It’s easy to sit on the sidelines and complain other people are making too much money. Remember that CEOs m

Serum levels could mean your body has more DHA than it needs, without an established level at which some kind of deficiency develops. I’m not trying to prove a point except this: People who have no regard to dietary DHA and consume no fish

Is there any actual clear link between dietary DHA and serum DHA? I’m guessing no. Humans survive on quite a wide range of dietary fat sources and composition. I stopped supplementing with fish oil after realizing there’s lots of “science”

You’re a software engineer. Quit and move on. So your boss is a dick. Invoking civil rights and Martin Luther King Jr.!? Melodramatic and offensively out-of-touch with reality. The only thing you should have done was tell your boss to fuck
