Yes, but combine that with a small-ish provider, this will also hurt them (e.g. see Google Maps price hike). Either way, if I use a service 20x a month and it costs $15, I can hand…

I use bunny.net for CDN and DNS. I don't like free offerings, because what if they decide to charge someday? What if someone decides "free is not feasible, we start charging $20 pe…

I usually go full Symfony with my projects until I need to spread it out. But even for interactivity, I first go for htmx and Alpine.js instead of full React or so, where I then ne…

As German ex-football (soccer) coach Sepp Herberger would say "Nach dem Spiel ist vor dem Spiel" (After the game is before the game).

Had the same problem while trying to decide which Roborock device to get. There's the S series, Saros series, Q Series and the Qrevo. And from the Qrevo, there's Qrevo Curv, Edge, …

Solo Dev on my own PHP project since 14 years. I wait 1-3 months, but then update. It used to take way longer, because Amazon's Elastic Beanstalk platform would take longer to upda…

I use Symfony (PHP based framework) and it works fine. I've been able to get into Django (Python), Laravel (PHP), Java (Spring) and even Grails (Groovy) because they either had sim…

That's true :D, thanks for the correction! I think I was still in German mode, it's called "electric punch" (Stromschlag) if translated literally, my brain went the easy route and …

I have another, different oddity. Whenever my colleague and I stand up (or also sit down?) on the desk, his Dell monitor would turn black for a few seconds. I don't remember the sp…

Well, one can exist on HN.

I once did that for a client of mine. I took the WordPress-based / WooCommerce system and split it into 1) the Shopify system for admin stuff and also the whole payment system and …

It's a different ecosystem than Wordpress. I'm having some trouble finding analogies. But maybe Symfony would be something like Linux Debian, has all the building blocks, it's mode…

I think it's more that it's a crap job market. Have been dev freelancing for about 10 years, used to be able to choose from a few projects within a couple of weeks of searching. Bu…

For my 12 year side project, I recently moved from Elastic Beanstalk after 6-7 years to Platform.sh, because "it just works" even more so and it was way easier to debug (EB just sa…

I would argue adding JavaScript on top of Laravel will make you slower. You can use Blade as the templating engine (or how JS people would call "Server Side Rendering" but which ha…

Just use fastmail and set the DNS to theirs, they should handle the rest. I also like that they have catchalls, i.e. I can post hackernews@mydomain.com or stepstone.com.engjobs@myd…

How about going freelance contracting / consulting? They will probably appreciate your experience as CTO and also your understanding of how to push a product forward. I've only had…

Is it a company email which they control now? Maybe that's how they changed it.

Shoot, I'm just realizing that we're as far from 2038 as we are from 2010. In 2010 the the iPad was released and the movie Avatar had come out. So we're closer to 2038 than the rel…

Security in vanilla php using old tools is a headache. I use Symfony and using the form component ( https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/form.html ) you can achieve much of w…

> This could be a once-in-a-lifetime viewing opportunity as the nova ouburst [sic] only occurs about every 80 years.

I suppose hiring an SEO agency to do marketing is like hiring a painter to remodel a house to sell it. You sort of already decided what you want to focus on. But maybe the remodeli…
