The theme of your logo is similar to Zapier's latest design with the underscore. If you plan on rebranding, I might consider including that detail in your discussion.

I believe the parent comment is using founding engineer to mean early employee (not necessarily first, and differentiated from "founder"). 15% is certainly "founder" levels of equi…

Still seems quite high, but I imagine a lot of tech founders reach for tools like this if they've not been tasked with designing full systems before.

I do think leaning on the Django ORM for so many years has hurt my ability to write SQL on its own, but it's just about the only ORM thats ever clicked for me in that way.

I don't believe the average sacks per game has changed much. Haven't crunched all the numbers but this has sacks back to the 2003 season [0]. I generally agree though, the NFL want…

I remap caps lock to ctrl on my OS which does make it a little more ergonomic, but I still prefer your method. Although, whatever wizard taught me vim and gave me their beginner ch…

Absolutely, but I'd still consider it a "major Nintendo title" and it's one of the best selling games on Switch.

I've heard this advice a number of times, but often run up against otherwise standard looking systems that rely on secrets in environment variables -- mainly thinking about AWS's r…

Absolutely agree, but I like to think the magic bit can stick around as wonder. Perhaps that's bundled into deep curiosity.

Plus ample walking space in the winter months, relatively safe even during peak covid, 80s and 90s design, often have a movie theater nearby. Not sure what else one would want in a…

Quickly seems like an overstatement; you've always been able to write low-barrier to entry, slow, buggy code. Is there a low-barrier language that doesn't end up with a lot of less…

Johnny Harris has a pretty good video about this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrDEtSlqJC4

I've found I can handle an extra 10 hours of work a week without negatively impacting the rest of my life -- work, social, sleep, hobbies. I've gotten all my contract work from pri…
