Principal engineer for Loom here: Congrats on the beta launch. Super cool, I’m looking forward to trying it out. Welcome to the Thunderdome.

Hah, touché. To counterpoint, their success is probably correlated with consumer spending habits (If consumers don't spend, transactions aren't happening, Stripe isn't getting its …

> the way of WeWork That's an unreasonable comparison. Stripe is not deeply tied to commercial office real estate.

I must be missing something here. On a donation of $10, their cut should be $0.75, given that's 7.5%.

I thought this was going to be a critique of Blinkist.

There's clearly been a lot of thought put into KubeSail, the platform & pibox provisioning service looks interesting. Have you had businesses try to make this part of an internal p…

Assuming this is for Android, the APK would no longer be signed and would cause all login attempts to fail. Have a read about "SafetyNet Attestion API" for Android.

This is brilliant work, I'm hoping in part II we get to see it working against the API. I reverse engineered this in a production environment. It took approximately 7 months to bui…

Speaking as someone that has stock options... how did your employee options get wiped out?

I should of said Helvetica-derivatives.

That really depends on what you're starting with. My one-liner didn't go into the care that this article went into, I couldn't do the topic justice.

Helvetica and its derivatives are beautiful, they're not boring.

Helvetica and you're done. ^ My one sentence guide to better typography.

> ...and certainly doesn't think of himself as a genius This is intellectual humility. He's obviously a genius in his own right.

Do you know what the connection between the two writers is? Seems to me that the quote is neither here nor there, but I haven't found anything solid to confirm who said what. https…

Yes, I like this. It's important to learn what react is and why it's good for handling state in a component before you start trying to build the routing of a full web app.

It took me over a week to grasp how routing would combine with redux, async, react and then server side rendering. We got there, but there just hasn't been a simple (to reason abou…
