I wonder how Peter's views might have changed in the last three months.

I think that's a misconception. It's quite possible that the expected value for most companies over, say 10 years, is overall higher. I obviously have no data, call it a hunch We j…

It's simplistic, but I think there's two ways you can approach building a product company. Either you focus on creating a great product that customers love. As a consequence, you'l…

Under the hood, it uses good ol' fork and keeps track of the generated process IDs. It's surprisingly simple. You can check out the relevant source here: https://github.com/rails/s…

Author here. What a pleasant surprise to see this on HN! Happy to answer any questions.

I launched something similar a year ago, funnily with an almost identical name. Different tech stack and slightly different features though. Super cool to see more other tools in t…

Have been using asdf (with Ruby and JS) for years, haven't had a reason to look for something else yet.

See edge guides ( https://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/7_2_release_notes.html ) for some highlights. I'm looking forward to using some of the developer experience stuff, such as defa…

> I didn’t want to deal with databases. So instead I used a third party authentication service, store some data in JSON files, and also threw up a lamda gateway to store some more …

I think the evolution of this person's personal server as outlined in the readme is very insightful. Goes from literally no configuration management (just SSH into the box to insta…

Looks nice! I'm on an older phone though and your landing Page murders it. Animations stutter and scrolling is pretty janky. Not sure I'd that's an issue with the components or som…

Whenever this comes up I'm glad having read "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism". Not an easy read by any means, but it's core hypothesis is spot on IMO: Google (and others) core b…

Guess what. Based on the success of your blog, not only are you a leader - you're a _thought_ leader now! Good luck.

Neat idea. Since everything is public, the next step obviously is to add a wall of fame/shame, right?

I'm currently facing the same problem - adding a blog to a Rails app. I thought Sitepress looks interesting, as its supposed to integrate with Rails. Have you given that one a try?…

It's a good idea. My main issue is that if you want to build anything these days it kinda has to look at least decent. All depends on your customers and project, but generally expe…

Data Dead Drop is a simple file-sharing tool that I originally made to share data between machines where I have nothing but cURL and an internet connection. I quit my day job at th…

Mostly ideation and placeholder content. Say I have a rough idea for a logo. I'll hammer something in Midjourney to iterate on ideas.

Honesty I had a blast with Midjourney. Takes some getting used to, and it's not actually that useful (I think) but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't great fun to use.

I adore Syncthing. I agree that it's iffy to set up, but once it works it works.

Interesting that the discussion here focuses so much on the actual language. I think the language is fine, but the thing that really makes me stick with Ruby is the ecosystem and t…

Idempotency is one mathematical concept that's pretty useful for software engineers to understand. Heck, might be more useful than BigO. - Useful to know when you work with APIs (a…

Can't wait for the analysis on Orc numbers. Given that their home turf is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire, ash and dust I don't see them fielding the numbers they do. Not muc…
