    It’s such a nice coincidence that your path matches mine as well, going from Turbo Pascal to IntelliJ. When I started on Java, I was disappointed at the quality of IDEs so much tha…

    Ten years ago, JavaScript was my go to when I wanted to expose others to coding. It still is today, but now that comes with the caveat that the most popular libraries and framework…

    I can understand NextDoor at least. It’s very neighborhood based, and they need some way to verify that you live where you say you live. If people keep seeing membership in their n…

    True, but you can say that for any company. At least in this case, you can consider their past 5 years, see what moves they make and what statements they have released, and judge w…

    Artificial scarcity successfully implemented is still scarcity. For example, trading cards printed in low numbers can drive the prices for those cards high.

    I have noticed this with our purchases as well. Because of Prime, most of our online purchases are Amazon-first. Only when they don't carry it do we check elsewhere. We recently ca…

    I'm pretty sure I remember getting that far. We even figured out how to actually win. I don't remember now how we got the knowledge - this was waaay before the internet and in a th…

    I have a 4 yr old. They adapt well. My kid only used to be exposed to touch screens. Her daycare then introduced them to more traditional computers with a keyboard and mouse, and t…

    Isn't this a common concern with most startups which seek to grow beyond 6, 7 or 8 figures?

    A small problem is a good thing if you have lots of people with similar problems, in which case your market can grow really large.

    Like others have pointed out, it is not a glorified text editor. Keep in mind that JetBrains IDEs started not as a text editor, but as a rename utility. So really, it's closer to a…

    Not to mention, when they load up on all the new stuff, they try it out on fairly modern machines and it loads well enough, with a load time that's just good enough, so there's eve…

    I grew up in the Philippines knowing about the Bataan Death March. Not details, but the fact that it happened and the general idea of it. Now that I think about it, I didn't learn …

    The problem could be the VBA hurdle. It's enough of a hurdle that you would need an actual developer to go beyond basic functionality. At that point, a developer would just recomme…

    This is definitely possible now. In fact, this is possible now even with the existing Apple TV - using the TV Out feature which many games already employ.

    I wonder how many developers will stop promoting their products to other developers based solely on the subscription model? I know I would. Also, I never would have tried their pro…

    For solving complex problems, yes. On my own personal projects, I get very limited time. For these, I go straight to the keyboard and put in as many characters as I can. However, e…

    I'm also curious - what about Windows Explorer makes it a painful experience? I learned how to use computers using DOS/Windows and it's what my idea of "correct" is. I'm curious ab…
