Just installed my plug-and-play panel this week in my small garden. 400W so not enough to power all my appliances. But I'm happy that I'm at least a little hedged against the negative geopolitical developments we're going thr

I feel like all new AI tools only integrate with GitHub though, like Claude Code. We're actually thinking of moving from GitLab to GitHub, just for this reason.

All these tools seem to be GitHub-centric. Any tips for teams using GitLab to store their repositories?

We use it extensively in our codebase. We started without any types, and added Sorbet later. It's similar to Typescript as that you can gradually sparkle your code with types, building up the typing coverage over time. I just completed

Seems far-fetched. No one is forcing you to buy an S&P 500 fund. And you could have sold your S&P 500 shares the day Tesla entered the index.

Agree. I can't stand the coldness of brutalist architecture, it's dystopian. It's disagreeable in summer, let alone on a grey winter day.

For most startups that raise money, tech is hardly a big cost. Most of the money goes towards fueling growth through paid marketing and so on.

We adopted Sorbet for our codebase a couple of months ago, and I couldn't be happier with that choice. Sure, it's not as powerful as Typescript (e.g. no way to specify a union of constants like `type Result = 'ok' | &#x2

I remember visiting this underground city a couple of years back, and thinking, what were these people so scared off in the outside world that led them to build this? It's an incredible feat, I think even with today's tools, let a

Same. They seem to be one of the few airlines that are well run. Maybe cause the founder is still CEO, I don't know. I also respect their honesty. They tell you "we get you from A to B the cheapest way", no more. Traditional

For sure. As the only developer in the team, it saves me a bunch of devops time that I can instead dedicate on the business, while we're trying to get product-market fit. I'm sure that there are limitations for larger teams or if

I think every solo developer should read "The E-Myth Revisited" ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/81948.The_E_Myth_Revisit... ). It describes exactly this problem. For your business to succeed, you mus

Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't California one of the more progressive states with a stronger social safety net than say Arkansas or Alabama? So isn't that counter to your argument?

I don't think many people want to move to Texas, for instance abortion is illegal in the state. I doubt people want to move back to the 1950s, certainly not startup people, who tend to be more progressive. I personally would never want

It's paradoxical that entrepreneurship is less of a thing in the EU than in the US. After all, Europeans can afford a lot more risk than Americans. There's a strong safety net in the form of social security. Health insurance is no

Unfortunately that is very impractical. And way too broad of a measure. There are plenty of cloud-based services that have a business model that is based on providing that service and not on selling ads.

OK, the US doesn't strictly have a two-party system. But in practice it is, at least at the federal level (which dominates the political discussions). Sure, in theory a Libertarian or Green candidate could become president in 2024. But

I think Americans don't give enough attention to the bi-party system as an important cause for the current political divide, and increasingly, civil divide. My hypothesis is that a two-party system creates the divide because it encoura
