Congrats! The launch is a stellar example of focusing on key functionality and cutting everything else. Core tech is amazing. I played writing an intro for some documentation I'm c…

Agreed. He reads his own audiobook and it’s incredible. I keep going back to it.

(Not OP) I’d find value in this if you were considering publishing a guide. Been working on a pi400 eink solar powered cyberdeck but haven’t done anything with cell connection yet.…

Ive built a couple systems that would have been datomic’s bread and butter. Each time the company was more comfortable with mainstream dbs, so we ended going with something like yo…

Yeah Sean Evan’s is an amazing interviewer. Some mix between the depth of Nardwaur and the pleasantness of Jess Thorne. The questions earlier in the series felt more “real”, where …

I generally will use vcr[0] or something similar to record requests and then I write tests and code against that. 3rd parties go down, it happens. In general a system that is depen…

We may not be able to observed it, and maybe can’t. Just like time slowing down would be imperceptible to the person on the spaceship nearing light speed. It takes the mathematics …

I like the breakdown and agree with your general line of reasoning. I’m confuse though why you don’t just say refactor. This just reads like you redefined “refactor” to be adding l…

> What have they ever built? While I agree that reading code and learning is essential, I don’t think this line of criticism is fair. I mean like most programmers I’d imagine their…

Don’t buy product that helps you focus, instead spend more money on a different product and tune that constantly to maybe help you focus? (This method doesn’t work for me) People’s…

Very cool, not GP but also thanks for pointing me to this board. I’m just getting into hardware stuff but have an e-ink project in mind.

Crazy, I was watching some some smalltalk 80 demos this weekend. And was like I bet you could ship a js image that does some of this. Someone must be working on it. I don’t know if…

Interesting idea and good execution. My thought would be it feels like it is helps enable “careless” PMs, rather than make better stories. I added a simple user story “I want to be…

SHADOW DOM

Acknowledging that I don’t know the business or context, “remote does not work for eng” is a bad take.

Haha yeah I feel like SQLite is a very _told_ story on HN. Great story and tech for real, inspirational but also very trendy right now!

Im not sure if it’s future proofing exactly, but I’m placing my bets on Nix powered development systems. The conceptual clarity combined with sparse documentation, rough edged user…

A company I worked at was in the business of classified ads in the early two thousands. “We” started selling typeset ads at some point to customers unbeknownst to the tiny fresh gr…

Great read, thanks!

After an initial small investment, I was able to take notes. Then it was keeping my todos on projects at work, getting a list, etc. Then I could add source blocks and execute them.…

Not a consumer grade solution, but Org mode handles this with some setup and browser extensions

My answer is I would. I enjoy the process and at this point, is my most reliable way to the flow state. I am more motivated by the process and the learning of making than I am abou…

Hypothetically, if AGI emerges and can generate code well enough so that software development is no longer a lucrative job. Let's say society adjusts, you adjust, and it goes reall…

Had they talked about releasing the source code? I would love to see the machine behind DF. I think about it all the time. Either is a complete mess that no one else can understand…

Yes. I no longer use vim (plugins aren’t fun to mess around with for me, feel like I’m just always catching up to functionality in more complete tools) but I use vim mode in all my…
