    This is happening at my place as well. I am a senior leader, but I find it hard to push back on this. I something looks plausible and everyone has reacted with a thumbs up (but pro…

    I think we have enough anecdata that users don’t like a changing interface. They like keeping things the same, mostly. So how can you keep generating disposable software on this la…

    The scroll hijacking on this page is horrendous. I could almost not close the page anymore on iOS because of everything going on.

    Same in the Netherlands. PostNL halted all box shipments to the US last Friday. Only allowing envelopes to go through. They planned to support the new regulations before, but pulle…

    This reminds me of the story where Barclays had to buy bad assets from the Lehman bankruptcy because they only hid the rows of assets they did not want, but the receiver saw all th…

    Ask HN: How does Stripe work on the inside?

    I am very intrigued by how Stripe works on the inside. They ship such good quality, are very thoughtful, all while feeling like a calm vibe. Things like: what is their management p…

    We use it with PHP/Laravel on the server side. It just needs HTML pages and the JavaScript of Hotwire Turbo in that page. For the fancy streams and frames you need some extra heade…

    It is not “companies” but individuals. But yes, there are a lot of people that are only driven by greed and power. But not all by a long shot. I believe most of society would fail …

    I don’t think this is universally true. At least not here in the Netherlands, but even in visiting the US it does not feel like that everywhere. I think it is very sad the moral st…

    These blanked statements about monoliths are what made every junior dev think that microservices are the only solution. If you cannot make a clean monolith, I have never seen any e…

    That sounds much better, thanks for the effort.

    I did that, but sometimes it takes a short moment before Unit is started, so you need a loop to check if Unit is responding before you can send the config. In total it was around 2…

    I saw that, but I do like to make my own container. So I did roughly the same steps as they do. But it feels complicated.

    I tried a setup with Nginx Unit and php-fpm inside a Docker container, but the way to load the config is so combersome I never was confident to use it in production. It feels like …

    I like restful API’s the most. Graphql is cool if you need data combined that is not nicely available in the restful endpoints. But I think that could mostly be solved with good en…

    Yes he has. I have seen multiple episodes on his YouTube[1] where he absolutely grills the whole company. He also gave them a deadline to opensource the drivers or he would stop tr…

    I use this quite a lot as well. Holding the merge button on GitHub, while thinking it through one more time. I could get used to act on press, but this is my current muscle memory …

    I would expect that most companies would be ashamed to publicly state that they sell your data to hundreds(!) of data providers and they would fix this before they had to disclose …
