I have no idea how many hours I work. Just no idea how to measure it. Hours at laptop? Hours thinking about it? A 1 min slack reply at 8pm, does that count as 1min? I could argue that I work anywhere between 25 and 60 hr / week.

Do most people use something like stripe terraform? or are you all making products / prices in the Stripe UI? or custom code to create these objects? I have always used the UI, but felt guilty about it.

I appreciate that the MAU sliders are powers of 2. It really needs the enterprise pricing though. ld pushes you into those plans in surprising ways so it's easy to think you're going to get to stay on pro, but then surprise! it&#x

In my startup we track another number in order to normalize our compensation. We do a quick "expected valuation" calculation on the share price and use that, instead of the 409a or the valuation. This is how I actually value it in

I think those are all good choices and I don't judge you for k8s. It all depends if you know it already. We use GKE with auto-scaling kubernetes and it's great and took 2 day to get it terraformed sufficient to where it feels like

Anything can work. If the employees are mediocre it takes the chance of success from 11% to 5%. Or something like that. The point being that it's unlikely to "do well" regardless. More important is to figure out what you&#x27

I was a non-believer for a while too. My first impression of node was definitely that it was a shell game. But ease of use matters and I have to admit that a lot of node apps really scream and scale for developers of a lot of different skil

I definitely feel this pain. Changing environment variables at works sucks. JIRA ticket and then back and forth with SRE about whether we really need it. So it all goes in code and defeats the whole purpose of having the app be configurable

I want a cookbook that only has recipes for my family ie: -gluten free -vegetarian -no mushrooms -no goat cheese I hate having to skip past 60% of the recipes in a book. Feels like this is a fun GPT project waiting to happen.

I like the idea of OS here. But this feels like something that's important enough to get right, and not just technically right, but UX right so i don't screw up, that I am team paid. 1Password technical blog has just impressed me

I still reach for PgAdmin for explain plains. I think the visuals are really nice and help me make sense of things. I've not seen something better. But for everything else, jetbrains / datagrip etc is just infinitely nicer to use.
