    I use markdown files in vs code. Supports folding of sections, combined with a few keyword/char patterns that I highlight different colors. Also get code highlighting in properly l…

    Well, pretty much everyone is less valuable than they think! I've bootstrapped and sold two startups, first time with 5 (!) equal cofounders and second time with 3. I've learned a …

    There are a number of semantic layer tools out there these days. Each has their own unique approach, but essentially it's a meta layer on top of your database that can be used to d…

    Happy to see them announce the new AMD chips in the 13", but the prices are a little nuts compared to what you can get elsewhere. I bet the desktop is interesting, but first I was …
