(Italian here) AFAIK Italy implemented the logic to be valid for 9 months, which wasn't ideal and it shows its limit in situations like this since we don't have a short expiry date…

One of the most difficult thing about burnout is that it can be quite different for each person in the way it is expressed and it's hard to discern. I was (and probably am to some …

I'm a big fan of bitwarden, it's my first advice to everyone, but to be honest it's nowhere near the refinement of 1Password which I also use) It often lacks polishing and features…

I feel the same way and being a 'Generalist' mostly because of my ability to adapt any environment is both amazing and terrible. The terrible part is mostly because I got too many …

I agree, history is not important, but using phone/mail/chat always implies some kind of "requiement of attention" and given the many groups I need to update I wanted to give them …

Hi everyone, after a long history in the dev field I decided to help my company as a Product Manager (I also own a company that produces a "real" product, so I have some hands on e…

Ok, so, as both a developer and owner of a company that built a physical product (in the Cosmetic field, so no tech stack :D ) I'd say that, at least for me it all starts with scra…

I agree but I'll tell you (as an apple fan in the ecosystem) that sometimes this kind of "let's abandon the old things" has some drawbacks. For example, the changes in the https be…

Not tech related: The power of vulnerability by Brenè Brown (audiobook/course). Worth every single penny. You can get a glimpse of what's it about on the netflix documentary about …

Adyen has also high requirements for companies in terms of volumes, so it's an alternative but available only to a subset of companies

There are many things that might influence the result and therefore your decision. I once worked for a product in the SaaS business and what helped us is understanding "where are o…

We did it many years (11) ago for a B2C Product, around 200K users (free, 5k paid). We both had a common Postgres where we stored generic info and the customer database in Derby (p…

not OP too but I'd love to add an extra case: I work 3.5 days/week. I asked my boss after 14 years of work there if I could reduce my working time, given the fact that I think fami…

This. I wholeheartedly agree. I dunno if it was you but 4 years ago a similar comment on hacker news made me consider working less. It was the best decision in my entire life. I ca…

Well, it's quite clear that JS is seeing a transformation at higher speeds, but a the same time I feel like the backend offerinngs are now more diverse and they do, too, evolve. Sp…

yes, they share many of the topics about vulnerability, but if you didn't listen to the power of vulnerability I strongly advice you to give it a try.

I'll be in the minority then, but to me these are my best books. The Power of Vulnerability by Brenè Brown and Quiet by Susan Cain. The first is not a real book since it's audio on…

Working part time. Inspired by a comment here in HN I decided 3 years ago to take the leap and moving from 5 days/week to 3.5day/week to spend more time with my family. My paycheck…

can confirm, I was referring to an early 2006. Quite an old piece :)

Yes. Indeed, and as I wrote I can’t blame their choice

My iMac can’t be upgraded to el cap because it’s not 64bit :) if I recall it was snow leopard the os. Maybe I wrote the wrong model date

I've got an old core duo (32 bit) iMac which is still working fine despite the old age (I think it's a late 2009). My small brother use it to navigate the web. The sad thing is tha…

Rand has been an inspiration way before the topics of honesty and empathy were trendy. He was the spark that ignited my interest towards getting out of the usual "let's not discuss…

This is the only reason (at least for now) that makes me dig into a library code. And I always got some benefit from it. I think we often treat libraries as voodoo blackboxes, but …

nice to see yathletics here :) I'm a customer. It's a pain to ship outside US (because of taxes/shipping prices) , but aside from that you make great products. keep going, and it's…
