    Go looking for them wherever you think they might gather or hang out (online or in person). Reach out to those who seem like a good fit and ask them about the problem(s) they’re ha…

    Good advice. Do you think the part of point two about building every feature request might be a bit risky for some solo folks? It’s easy to get carried away building every request,…

    We can also invert that by asking: does a student become smarter by writing their essay on their own? I would argue that the answer to questions is no. It depends on how you define…

    It's also entirely possible, maybe even likely, for people to get burnt out doing something they love because we don't set the natural boundaries we would with something we're stri…

    Configurable warnings as webhooks would be pretty cool. Then I can automate whatever needs to happen on my side. I already automate apps, machines, etc with the machines API and Gr…

    Why do you loathe it? Coming from someone who kind of wants it.

    I built approximated.app on elixir, proxying 300k+ domains. It's a great ecosystem, I've never seen anything else handle really hard problems so well in my 15 years as a developer.…

    I guess it depends on how you define urban (are suburbs still urban?). I think you're kind of right in that currently suburbs are terrible to live in without a car. But if there wa…

    My experience with my own pixel 7 pro and a pixel 5 has been that these devices are an order of magnitude lower in build quality than Samsung or iPhones. I really, really wanted to…

    Cool! I'm not a supabase user, but I imagine I could use this for any postgresql database. Is that true?

    Ah yes, I too have accidentally committed node_modules. Jokes aside, and coming from a place of ignorance, it's interesting to me that a file count that size is still a real perfor…

    True, but from what I've seen the usernames on every social solution, decentralized or not, are essentially leased too aren't they? Either they're based around a domain you control…

    This is how I've been feeling but I'm assuming there's more to this that I just don't know. I keep thinking, what if we: 1. Use domains/subdomains as usernames by just... having th…
