He's using Django, so most likely Django Migrations which is built into that framework. If you're using Flask, you're probably using Alembic with SQLAlchemy. Those are the two main…

I really enjoyed your post too! I would be interested in more details around the "100s of hours". I want to try a k8s setup like yours, but after investing those 100s of hours into…

HN is part of the reason I moved to SF back in the day and started my company. My company is the reason I met my wife, because she saw me wearing a t-shirt I made to promote it whi…

> Time in IDE/Editor is easy to quantify, time thinking about solving the problem is not. That's the key. To find the time thinking just fill in the gaps between the time spent cod…

These estimates are time spent *thinking* about programming. The average dev doesn't get to code a full 8 hours per day. On average from WakaTime data, devs spend only 1-2 hours pe…

Yep, same experience with Spaces here. That's why we use Spaces for backups only, since it's very affordable and backups don't need millisecond latency. https://wakatime.com/blog/4…

Maybe they have support tiers? Every time I created a support ticket I got a response within an hour from a technical person. Their support responds much faster than AWS in my expe…

Nothing is perfect. We use DigitalOcean Droplets because they're more bang-for-buck than AWS EC2 instances, especially if you're doing a lot of disk IO. However, even though it's m…

It's the same JavaScript running, just hosted on your domain instead of externally. The JS shouldn't support eval, which is unfortunately a common way to display ads in networks wi…

You can render client side too, the key is no external JavaScript is being trusted to run on the page. That ofc means the common practice of advertisers pasting a JavaScript snippe…

I'm very selective with the external scripts allowed on my websites. Ad networks are notorious for running malicious JavaScript on popular sites like NYTimes[1] and Yahoo[2] home p…

I used a txt file and org-mode, then I built https://wakatime.com to automate my time tracking.

I use https://wakatime.com to automatically track the project and task I'm working on. It's a plugin in your IDE, so it can detect your project.

What I really care about is the time it takes to input tasks. The demo app link has a record button with a difficult to use form. Is there a faster way to start/stop the timer?

https://wakatime.com/login uses https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/v3 for this and it's worked well so far.

That's why we integrated with 4 payment providers. We use a common Quote object that knows how to "apply" itself to subscriptions on all 3 (GitHub is inverse) providers. 1. Stripe …

So cool! Using this for https://status.wakatime.com now and it's working great!

Pretty cool! https://WakaTime.com also tracks build times, but as an Xcode plugin instead of desktop app.
