I have no idea how many hours I work. Just no idea how to measure it. Hours at laptop? Hours thinking about it? A 1 min slack reply at 8pm, does that count as 1min? I could argue t…

Do most people use something like stripe terraform? or are you all making products / prices in the Stripe UI? or custom code to create these objects? I have always used the UI, but…

"A key function of good enough parenting is to provide the essential background to allow for the growing child’s disillusionment with the parents and the world, without destroying …

i got 6. surprised that it was that few, I figured it would take forever.

I appreciate that the MAU sliders are powers of 2. It really needs the enterprise pricing though. ld pushes you into those plans in surprising ways so it's easy to think you're goi…

No standardized testing to get into an ivy league college was a ZIRP.

In my startup we track another number in order to normalize our compensation. We do a quick "expected valuation" calculation on the share price and use that, instead of the 409a or…

I think those are all good choices and I don't judge you for k8s. It all depends if you know it already. We use GKE with auto-scaling kubernetes and it's great and took 2 day to ge…

I really enjoyed geoguesser. Don't forget: https://fmworldcup.com/excel-esports/microsoft-excel-world-c...

Mistral is the one that made it really click for me that OpenAI may not be the winner at all.

If you're using micro-services, what are you favorite micro-services that are really on the "micro" end of the scale? I'm thinking about the self-contained services that have a cou…

Anything can work. If the employees are mediocre it takes the chance of success from 11% to 5%. Or something like that. The point being that it's unlikely to "do well" regardless. …

I was a non-believer for a while too. My first impression of node was definitely that it was a shell game. But ease of use matters and I have to admit that a lot of node apps reall…

I definitely feel this pain. Changing environment variables at works sucks. JIRA ticket and then back and forth with SRE about whether we really need it. So it all goes in code and…

I want a cookbook that only has recipes for my family ie: -gluten free -vegetarian -no mushrooms -no goat cheese I hate having to skip past 60% of the recipes in a book. Feels like…

NPC is a funny term here. That makes me think it's putting the character inside the game. Is this just like a personalized walkthrough helper?

what kind of application changes are you thinking it would equire? my policies are definitely too broad, but feels like I should be able to tighten them up without changing code. (…

There was a good post yesterday somewhere about AI wrt this. It had the idea that AI right now is going so fast, you simply can't keep up so it's more about just, surfing the wave …

I enjoyed reading https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/05/18/the-myth-of-he... I really like these new yorker articles that compare 2, or in this case 3 biographies with differe…

I like the idea of OS here. But this feels like something that's important enough to get right, and not just technically right, but UX right so i don't screw up, that I am team pai…

I really wish I could understand this. I can half way get it loaded into my brain and then...
