    I was crazy enough to try this as well this year. It would be an extreme stretch to consider me a SQL expert, but I did make it to Day 14. I agree with all the points in the post. …

    That works both ways, though. Content that is high quality but is lacking broad appeal will go away as well. Full disclosure,I don't know what the right answer is here but it certa…

    > I think the majority of users don’t really care about the API or subreddits going private as they primarily just lurk. I agree. These protests have missed the point. There is a (…

    Right? That's what I've never understood. Putting ads in the API is irrelevant, since the 3rd party clients will just ignore them. The Reddit that the loud minority wants is never,…

    I'm probably like most people and just use Github pages: Blog is built with Jekyll. Treating GH as a CMS means I have a diff built-in to my platform. I also have a GH action that c…

    Enjoyed it, I just jumped ship 6 months ago for basically all the reasons you specified. Only thing I can add is that due to the difficulty hiring, you can attract mid-level talent…
