I volunteered a few years ago and had a great experience.

I love the product but this is a really aggressive price update and makes me concerned they’ll try to gouge me in years to come.

That book is so painful to read because of that lol.

I did frontend before React, and it was a welcomed change. The core insight of UI being a function of state is a good one. It saves you a bunch of headaches from the jQuery days wh…

After reading Careless People and watching Meta’s metaverse and AI moves, Mark comes across as a child chasing the shiny new thing.

“What kids told us about how to get off cigarettes” While I agree there’s a problem with how helicopter-y society is with kids these days, I think it’s ridiculous to expect kids to…

I wasn’t justifying the move, just a related thought that came up after seeing a few articles about Neon and Supabase having an explosion of new apps.

I imagine there is a lot of new pressure on public APIs now that there’s an explosion of vibe coded projects accessing them (some probably quite haphazardly).

Why build your own community software? Sounds like a waste of resources, there are many off the shelf and open source alternatives.

Linear is the move. Do not consider Shortcut.

I understand what the author is getting at. It’s really densely written though, I’m hoping the intent is to express the feeling rather than persuade because (as some of the top com…

I think they’re better for most users without a password manager. I don’t see how your mother example would have a better experience with another password to remember.

I've been evaluating AI code review vendors for my org. We've trialed a couple so far. For me, taking the workflow out of GitHub is a deal breaker. I'm trying to speed things along…

Congrats on shipping. Curious, why Slack? Is this intended for book clubs at companies specifically?

Grew up in the burbs. Downtown has transformed into a fun, walkable, thriving area. Covid took some of the wind out of the sails, but it’s still chugging along. Overall, it’s a goo…

I think the idea is that it’s a forum for programmers and you can probably self serve some solution (whether that’s using a plugin, custom style sheet, making your own, etc).

You’re getting a 100% return on your investment and keeping a piece of equity for upside. I’d say it’s more than fair, it’s generous. You will get diluted over time, same as all th…

I’m trying to figure out a budgeting system that works for me. I’ve tried a few that use Plaid integrations but they haven’t been effective for me. I’m looking for something that w…

For B2B, you line up calls and show mockups or clickable prototypes (Figma if you’ve got the skills / budget, Balsamiq or similar otherwise). From there, if it’s compelling enough,…

Read an open source one. Here’s a Ruby one called Flipper. https://github.com/flippercloud/flipper

I played around with this a bit. Doesn’t work amazing on my iPhone model (SE 3rd gen), but it’s pretty cool. I don’t think there’s an API to use it in apps yet, but I would love to…

I ended up buying a travel bidet because I couldn’t install one at our house for various reasons. It’s basically just a squeeze bottle with an angled head. Works great!

The easiest way to jump into product is to be a very product focused engineer and make an internal transfer. I’ve been offered such a transfer because stakeholders knew me and that…

If it’s a requirement to close a customer, they’ll tell you. Just keeping going with what you have until it blocks a deal you want to close enough to implement it.

Is there an official client?
