Agreed. That's why this is different and so powerful. People will solve their own problems that they are experts in. The downside is that they don't know what they don't know. Real expertise helps. But I think that's sol

That's so sad to hear. I only met him once about acquiring my High Scalability blog. That didn't happen, but it was obvious he was one of those wise people who was both kind and very smart. Not a combination we see often in this w

I have the same pair of glasses. My first paid programming work was dBASE II and later FoxPro. I don't look back on MySQL + Perl with the same affection. You could really get stuff done in those environments.

The thing is, it's real. Or it was for the golden era of cheap tokens. When tokens get expensive, we'll see how that changes things. With AI, you can think in terms of features rather than implementation; that's a totally dif

I've always sucked at marketing. For HN, I decided to be honest because that's the kind of people who read HN. And it really does do a lot. That's not hype. It's full-featured as I could make it without turning into some

According to app store optimization theory, that means you were never a potential customer anyway. If that's true or not, who knows? None of my other apps have ever had a hard paywall, and success was not a result. So I tried something

You got the gist of it. Then it just kind of took off. The TLDR: Where it started: me standing in front of a long aisle of dog food bags at Costco, racking my memory for which kind I was supposed to buy next for my finicky golden retriever,

While having to respond to TikTok is understandable, what's their point of differentiation? It's hard to tell the difference between the two now. Maybe that's a good thing for insta?

I use a normal credit card that I use everyday and they canceled my account for no reason that I can see at all. No reason. No appeal. And they keep sending me email to create ads! This is despite paying for google domain, apps, and google
