“The game looks easy, that’s why it sells” - Elliott Smith

I personally think we have this all wrong, and that all species should have to comply with some level of public decorum to be allowed in public human-dominated spaces. If a dog doe…

Seems like a lot of the comments are not getting it. The purpose of tokens is be able to have a single language-agnostic source of truth for the core bits of the design decisions. …

I used to work on the Substack editor. It's built on top on ProseMirror and Tiptap (an abstraction on top of ProseMirror) last I checked. There's a variety of other implementations…

Surprising to see Gross involved. He seems to be pretty baked into the YC world, which usually means "very commercially oriented".

Sounds like some low-hanging fruit for screenwriters wanting to make a great movie.

Remembering the old adage: don’t cheap out on anything that touches the floor (shoes, sofas, beds, cars, etc)

Seems to me like bowling rules could use an update. When every pro is so good that they are just competing on mental focus, the nature of the ball, and slight environmental factors…

One of the few un-nuanced takes I have is that every component library/DS should be built on top of Radix or React-Aria or some other thorough but extensible library. If you’re imp…

I’m in that stage now and this was a really good set of insights here (admittedly that I don’t quite fully understand). Open to DM? My email in profile.

The biggest issues I've had with Tailwind: 1) Adding it to an existing codebase with lots of global scope. The techniques espoused in the documentation simply don't work well with …

There’s nothing like good technical writing.

From my understanding he was starting a radical new thread of ideas that ran counter to the hard empiricism at the time that was going nowhere, or at least too slowly to help a sig…

I’m not sure how much of it was luck, but my provider at One Medical tested for Lyme disease and caught it in me. My provider seemed to be extra cautious based on very limited clue…

Perhaps they are. Or perhaps they’re just taking a moral position at all.

Fascinating. Do you have any suggested books or videos that track the history of finance?

If anyone winds up using this consistently with friends (which they won't), it's likely they'll just see a continually increasing number of aborted events, due to the removal of a …

The timing of the publishing of this seems coincidentally aligned with YC's very recent backout of a Chinese outpost. https://techcrunch.com/2019/11/21/y-combinator-abruptly-shut..…

This is a tough problem! Writing this to address your concerns but also for the comment readers. I don't provide great solutions, but I think validating your problems is helpful an…

I once was talking to a firefighter who was saying that these days house/apartment fires burn hotter and much more rapidly. Why? Because of cheap furniture (materials and construct…

Have you actually tested this recently? I used to be concerned about unconstrained leisure bottoming out, but I've recently had about 6 months of a break of sorts and I was never b…

Normally, I'd agree. But to not put a polarizing, inexperienced politician like Trump away easily is what makes the commentators (and me) think there are larger trends at work. She…
