We did kill that feature.

I sold a MacBook on eBay once and the buyer returned a different (broken) computer. I had pictures and documentation to prove that the serial numbers were different. eBay simply do…

I step over used needles in SF every day on my way to / from work. No thanks.

That's also bullshit.

Sam Altman and Paul Graham have clearly been pissed off for quite a while if you follow them on Twitter.

This is a huge step forward in react routing. I'm still on v3, but very excited to switch. I love that I don't have to separate my thinking about routes vs normal components. Ex. I…
