It’s a cheap, viable, vetted user acquisition model. For most startups it’s about the best CAC you can get without investing in channel development. Close enough to none of them are OSI open source, it’s all source available or open core, l

No it doesn’t. Anyone can take AGPL code and wrap it up as a SaaS. AGPL forces you to publish changes even as a SaaS which GPL does not. But that doesn’t close the AWS problem that Elastic and others faced.

They’ll consort with an inner circle of “industry” accomplices to “address concerns”, keeping everyone out while covering the “we consulted widely” angle. This will get pushed through under cover of darkness with enough of a fig leaf of due

The “EU bad” line gets rolled out so often on HN it has become its own truth. “Everyone knows” that the EU tech industry is getting strangled by its technocratic regulators and that’s why the EU fails at tech har har look at these idiots. E

They meant “linear.app”, not Jira, and “copy” instead of alternative. There’s currency in this type of knock off. Find a well executed closed source app, clone as open source, pick an alternative pitch “the Jira killer”, then raise YC becau

Exit through the gift shop. A tale about the commoditisation of what people thought was art. This is that. Indie game devs are the legions of graffiti artists whose purity and form will never pay the bills, regardless of how superior their

There are two types of game developers: those who spend their time making tools to make games and those who spend their time making games. So really there is only one type of game developer.

I’m calling this shit out using your comment because it’s the straw (sorry). This poor man’s Pascal’s Wager I see all over the place is pathetic. Stare into the eyes of the basilisk man, die on your feet. If you’re gonna lay supine on the

Your response explains SO much about why this is a dumpster fire. Rather than a professional "these are some valid concerns, we may have made some serious mistakes and this deserves a credible response", here's how your defen

I’ve gone all in on Cloudflare for my “stack”. R2, durable objects, D1, queues, logs, Pages and Workers. It all works beautifully, out the box, dev env baked in (wrangler), Internet scale.

Any first degree negative feedback loops. But reality has a way of poking its head in, like getting booed in public forums that should have been adoring you. Fortunately second and third degree feedback loops are notoriously stupid, and w

Over-weighting over-fitting pattern matches because you believe you’re quite clever. It’s a soft case of what happens when you’re stoned.

It’s a don’t ask don’t tell policy. The rivers of money tend to wash over objections. The culpability should be the same, but there’s enough cover that people will say things like you just did, with a straight face.

Because if you don’t like it, you’re the ass. But, if it’s bad, they’re the ass. Few people bother to climb the steep wall of cognitive dissonance required to embrace the fact that the source of their problem might be intrinsic. Much e
