If you're an emacs user and you code in emacs, magit works really well with your workflow.

I feel like development has come full circle. Initially, it was all server side. Then we had to use javascript to do some frontend stuff. The javascript became frameworks which tem…

This has helped me form my view PFOF is not as bad as it sounds. https://a16z.com/2021/02/17/payment-for-order-flow/

I used to do limit orders - try to save some money by buying a stock when it's at lowest during the day. Then I read a book by Fischer called "Common Stocks, Uncommon Profits"which…

For bootstrapped projects without a PMF - which are my side projects I self host. Postgres hot hot with 2 servers. For clients I always recommend PaaS

Try the steelcase leap v2. Aeron Miller was the 2nd alternative but ended up going with steelcase. I've had it for almost a year and would still recommend it.

Similar to "bourne shell" and "bourne again shell" aka bash I can see the evolution now. "nushell". Next iteration: "nuer shell" (newer) or "renushell" (renew)

As someone who has been on both sides of the coin. My take is: Don't make your site for anyone and everyone. Keep a target audience in mind. Most of the time, the person that hires…

+1 for keeweb. It's central to my password management strategy now. Can't recommend it enough. I've tried the offline versions, but I find myself often on the go - without my lapto…

Agreed 100%. Does this mean if you ever built a company, and it gets too big, it will get nationalized? And what will keep the law from evolving to nationalizing slightly smaller b…

Didn't toyota recently say, we are way off from completely autonomous vehicles. But if anyone has unlimited resources to do it...its the army.

Amen!

Yes. Its a company I'd invest in long term as long as I stay a delighted customer.

I use spotify. Love it. My family uses Spotify, loves it. I hope they go public.

Block driverless trucks? I can see this only working short term. Long term, the benefits of driverless trucks are too great to ignore. I'm curious to see how long and what tactics …

Agree. But it was a program that is far ahead of its time. Thank you Putty devs.
