    Likewise - we use Figma at our company and it genuinely is an amazing product. Also highly recommend ProductBoard. Fig + PB + Jira (yeh I know) can be a powerful pipeline.

    Good (paywalled, unfortunately) article on China using this as a way to move the infrastructure to depend on Huawei-owned patents so they can cash in on that work. https://www.ft.c…

    This is an online course, not a book, but it changed my understanding of finance. I studied Economics (initially) at university, and never found anything close to as useful as this…

    As a French educated non-French, I must say: you've gotta love the French <3 :)

    Is it a coincidence this came up on HN at the same time Telegram is getting dissed on HN? Can't help but think it was coordinated...which is sad for HN

    If what Generics fundamentally solve is having to type out an almost identical function for many types, why not just have macros?

    One can see your point, and indeed one may choose to sacrifice one's own freedom for material prosperity. But it is not analogous. The question is whether one thinks it's fine to f…
