    In both the article and Kurzweil's case, it just depends on how you want to set up the goal posts (which the article somewhat alludes to). If you want to measure flops and compare …

    Somewhat related: for the Neon internal hackathon a few weeks ago I wrote a little Node.js server that turns Redis's wire protocol (RESP) into Postgres queries. Very fun hack proje…

    Jon, the creator of the site, worked at Twitter when he made this. I imagine a lot of the people to fill this out are friends and colleagues of his.

    It's a normal PM position and you'd be in the normal PM salary bands. You'd be my peer. I manage the server-side SDKs, the CLI, the VS Code extension, the React Native SDK, the API…

    We get to use Markdoc every day and it is a joy to work with. Shameless plug: we're looking for someone to come in and a product manager over the Stripe Docs. Imagine working on do…

    Nope, I don't know of anyone working on Perl stuff in DevDiv but it's a big division.

    Well, the TypeScript and .NET organizations live within the Developer Division, and now we have Guido so there's Python. We also have fairly substantial dev tooling teams for C++ a…

    Malcom Gladwell addresses why proactive policing doesn't work at length in his book "Talking to Strangers". He refers to it as Kansas City style policing. Highly recommended.

    Hey friends! This is Brian Holt, the author of course. Finding this on the front page of HN is an unexpected delight. Just wanted to let you all know that the accompanying videos f…

    Using this logic, dollars are creating value by wasting paper and metal. What you're ignoring is the value of having a publicly auditable ledger of transactions and a decentralized…

    You can also run into an issue like Zynga: they bought an office for a lot of money, had a downturn, and then were in the precarious position of having their office worth more than…

    San Francisco is only marginally better, and yeah, everyone gets their dog registered as an ESA.

    Huh, that is interesting. Another example of that from Italian is that word for cranberry and blueberry are the same word. I had never thought of them being particularly similar bu…

    I'll try to use less marketing terms next time? I'm just a satisfied customer and happy to see them do well. I'm an engineer in SF, see my Keybase: https://keybase.io/btholt
