Yes, and I learned a lot there, including that I much prefer software engineering to computer science.

I ended up working for 2 years before I went to school, and it made a lot of things easier. When I graduated I was very certain that I wanted to go back to industry rather than go …

Me! When I was in highschool I started emailing companies from the whoishiring thread, managed to find an apprenticeship in SF. My thinking was that before I went to college to stu…

I appreciate the quick responses. Sincerely, best of luck.

By the way, you've left the notiz.dev LICENSE file in your server code, probably you want to remove that. https://github.com/tegonhq/tegon/blob/158b54af8d6f7cf4195c61... Separately…

First, congratulations on launching. I think people are so used to seeing beautiful products these days that it can be hard to remember how hard it is to make anything . Nice work!…

Extremely anodyne — given that the author has maintained FreeDOS for longer than I've been alive, I was hoping for slightly more interesting ideas than "have a website and be nice …

Looks totally fine at first glance. I'm happily using https://github.com/gorilla/sessions to handle cookies right now — OP, is there any reason I should want to switch to your libr…

Makes sense, thanks for answering. Aside — the architecture diagrams on https://xeiaso.net/blog/xesite-v4/ are not displaying in-browser for me, but do transfer correctly and are v…

Maybe I missed it, but why are you embedding a zipfile of gzip streams rather than just embedding the static site's files with an `embed.FS` and serving from that?

I think a lot of new entrants to previously-well-explored spaces tend to label themselves as "modern" in order to signify that there is something new about their approach. For inst…

Maybe. Frankly this is a very impressive outcome that is attributable both to the Father's business and management practices, as well as the Son's business and management practices…

Enforce squash merging to main and move on with your life. Linear history on main, individual contributors can rebase and merge or format-patch or do whatever they want on their PR…

One more thing you could do is put the real name of any human being with any track record of professionalism, anywhere on the website. Currently you're: - commenting under a pseudo…

Shoot, this is a good reminder that I need to update my zine's mailing list. I'll be switching to Buttondown, definitely the spiritual successor!

Has anyone here used this, or anything similar? This sounds phenomenal if it really works. Looks like “contact us” is the only way to try it or buy it right now, and the purported …

I have immense respect for the OP for writing up the story, and even more so for giving this preface. It's really useful to know what mistakes other people make, but can be quite e…

Great writeup, bookmarked for any future case where I run into a similar problem.

Not sure I fully understand Pigweed — is it basically an open-source reimplimentation of Google's developer experience for doing firmware development? https://pigweed.dev/docs/over…

I agree. Thankfully, you don’t have to take them and you don’t have to give them!

Yeah basically this!

Ha, I gave this exact speech at the 2021 Hasura Conference [0]. You hit the nail on the head. Sometime in 2022 we switched back to REST endpoints for all of the reasons listed in t…
