    The other thing is.. installer generally only runs once on a single machine, not sure how useful it is to “show the changes since last run”

    Obviously the article is making valid points. But a recent epiphany I had is, things by default are just mediocre but works. Of course the first shot at this problem is not going t…

    I agree except I think 100 lines is definitely worth a method, whereas 15 lines is obviously not worthy for the most cases and yet we do that a lot. My principle has always been: “…

    Am I right to say that this is a template on top of cloudflare durable objects, not an actual software of its own?

    This is I believe how ziglang works on its asynchronous story

    Yeah this is exactly what I ended up doing, like two days ago. It’s quite a pitfall… (and not optimal in terms of performance)

    Exactly this. This incident has proven MSFT’s strong hands without a board seat and they don’t really need it if things do/did go off the rails.

    Engineers at small startups are generally founder minded. They’re like founders, and are passionate about the product and the problem. That’s how they get to decide/involve in the …

    Thanks for replying! Another question is, what motivated you to start this effort in the first place? And why do you think it's useful. I haven't read the book, so not really sure

    Great job! How long did you spend on writing the book?

    What you said makes sense, but only to limited set of people. Not all people are interested/capable of learning how it works underneath. There're like, I don't know, hundreds of th…

    Pay to get work! That's one way to phrase it, I'll remember that, LOL

    The first part makes perfect sense. > That said I don’t often get asked for source code during interviews these days, so probably the ability to host the minified code for a demo w…

    Thanks for the feedback! Sounds like a good idea to provide a free trial. But I also want to make sure that people are actually interested in paying. What specifically do you mean,…

    Thanks for the feedback! The homepage is actually sorta old. I'll update it.

    That's actually... interesting. I haven't thought about it this way. I guess you mean people want it to be part their portfolio, which actually makes a lot of sense. I don't have t…

    I'm curious about why you chose to open source it. For me personally, I would be happy to pay for the hosted version if it's useful, and not worry about hosting my own.

    Thanks for the comment. Yes and no. On the job seeking perspective, what you said is right. Typically what people do is signing an NDA, but even with that, the question/solution st…

    I don't personally know a lot about ML, but what you said matches what I heard from friends who does ML. What's your thoughts on Kaggle? Is it similar?

    Glad you like it! Mind sharing a bit about your learning experience, so that I can learn from it? :)

    Could you be more specific about what is the "spec" you're looking for? As for examples, we do have some examples of separate tasks (non projects) in the tasks page, that should ex…
