This breaks down because Tailwind is not monetized, is completely free, and hasn't indicated it won't be. There is a corporate side with other features that has never been free. I …

Writing with Pragmatic was such a great experience. Definitely a blessing that I was able to do that. My experience with writing and royalties is just so different than this author…

It adds accountability, which is unfortunately something that ends up lacking in practice. If you write bad code that creates a bug, I expect you to own it when possible. If you ca…

Pragmatic has an inhouse book compiler. Most authors write in markdown and there's some special XML features you can use as well for it. Of course code linking is a first class fea…

That's a strawman. It is not really related to the main point and I'm not sure of the point you're trying to make (maybe that tension exists?) Obviously things take as long as they…

If the bug affects 1 customer and the feature affects the rest, is the old feature complete? It's not binary.

Are we reading the same article? Also, you do realize that writing is taught in an incredibly formulaic way? I can't speak to English as second language authors, but I imagine it d…

I read it just fine and everything made sense in it. I would spend similar time debugging this if I were the author. It's a pretty serious bug, a non obvious issue, and would be im…

The article makes it sound as if there were govt negotiations to have them sent home. It is light on details though, but with that many people of a friendly nation / corporation I …

"if we build that feature, we'd have to own it." "You're right, keep it on the 2028 roadmap" That would be my experience in tech at least.

My understanding is that mnesia is sort of a relic. Really hard to work with and lots of edge / failure cases. I'm not sure if it should be salvaged?

I made this for my high school chemistry project. We made it in the morning so it would be ready for our afternoon class. It was drying in the chemistry back office and there must …

Maybe my position on this is obvious, I honestly don't know a lot of how others see it. Preface: I'm generally an AI skeptic. There are a LOT of people who are doing "business work…

I watch Youtube almost exclusively on TV. It's great as a cable replacement. The key for me was when my new TV actually had a decent built in TV OS and hardware. So scrolling and u…

Realms matter. I don't really feel that holding terms hostage between hardware and software worlds is worth much energy. People that know enough to care will know within 1 second w…

A Pollyanna approach is not the answer (and rarely is.) I believe you've missed my point. I'll state it again although I don't have good faith in this conversation: because the maj…

Gross generalization and characterization. You can push for change while also recognizing that others don't respond well to it. Why? Because you need to adjust tactics to get the o…

From my perspective, the feeling is people at large don't care. Likely because it's difficult, uncomfortable, expensive, or all 3. Do I wish it wasn't that way? Yes. But what if it…

It varies. Literally everything from how modals work, notifications, etc. all had to be written. The things that I take for granted in my React app were fairly complex to figure ou…

Congrats! This stable release is huge. I built my (unfortunately) failed startup using LiveView for ~18 months. It was actually really good to work with and a great product experie…

The proxy layer was the cause of yesterday's outage according to support.

Stripe's MRR number is NOT correct for my application (shows as higher by 1-2%). I have an external script over their API that calculates MRR, and every single tool that calculates…

Some of the worst mistakes that I saw were from over-reaction in an active incident. One of my programming mantras is "no black magic." If I don't understand why something works, t…

Yea. Their contracts likely have clauses for all of that. I say likely, but we already know this is true because it's come out. The thing is, crowdstrike isn't the only incompetent…
