I thought it was going to be an open source clippy at first. I am kind of upset.

I always thought of serverless as yet another fad to come and go. In my career it seems like these things come in waves. 1. The single page application wave came and we rewrote our…

When my daughter was three years old and diagnosed with cancer (stage 4). To say it was "life changing" would be an understatement. It fundamentally changed who I am in a way I can…

I assume you read my submissions and came to that conclusion-- but my service isn't in the ETL industry (although I do process very large amounts of data). I don't really share my …

It really depends on your customer. In my case, I did cold emailing. I was able to narrow down my customer by their job title/role and knew exactly who to email. I don't really buy…

Any advice I can offer are things that seemed to work for me. I got "lucky" and struck gold on my first idea/project (consistently making high six figures over seven years running)…

Gitlab is hardly better than Github. I'd suggest source hut, or cgit and host your own.

My server's binary is more than a server, it can execute one off tasks, etc. For example I can execute the server binary with special arguments, ex "server --task admin-reports" in…

I have never used Jinja/Twig, but I have used handlebars, ERB, JSX and other similar templating systems. Overall, I find Go's template system to be a bit clunky but it certainly ge…

I hear you-- why try more than you need to anyway? It's not your business on the line, and if they don't want more from you...

I use the standard library. My entire business runs on it, html/css all through the standard library (templates package). I use embed to embed all assets in the binary itself. "go …

Not only does pretending to work happen in the office, it happens anywhere work happens. Gas stations, store clerks, cashiers, fast food, everywhere. People that are lazy and prete…

"only" 100 users for testing and feedback? I'd aim for 10 and see if you can achieve that first... it's not that easy to get people to try something, especially if it involves crea…

I was referring to using Nix as a tool for my own development workflow. You are describing a much more integrated and involved use of Nix (Nix packages deployed to production, Dock…

I honestly love "web 1.0" style niche forums. I wonder if it's the nostalgia of customizing my signature image banner, signature quote and following discussions and arguments, but …

I have used Nix in the past and enjoyed it... for a while. I will go against the grain and suggest not using it, especially for native projects of any kind (C, C++, Go, etc). In my…

You could always develop inside a virtual machine.. depending on how resource intensive and complex your work codebase is.

I'm a solo founder of a company. I have never created a LinkedIn account for myself or the company for a number of reasons: 1. I value my privacy and data. 2. As a company with no …

My daughter was diagnosed with cancer at 3 years old (stage 4). I took "family leave", which is possible depending on which state you live in (within the US at least). I was able t…

I am rebuilding a data pipeline that processes billions of records. An overview of what I built is as follows: collect data from (n*k) sources-> derive new data -> generate a unifi…
