Hey Matt, Not sure if you remember me but we talked about Lean Designs many years back (back then it was called jMockups). Excited to this next step for you! Congrats and good luck…

Sidekiq by Mike Perham is amazing. I’ve scaled multiple businesses on it’s back.

I wished this too, and got close enough by buying the Hue remote switches: https://www.philips-hue.com/en-us/p/hue-dimmer-switch--lates... It turns out there are really only 3-4 di…

How do you handle scraping 1000+ different store websites at scale? Isn't it an enormous amount of work just to maintain the scrapers?

N=1, maybe people aren't experiencing the same thing, but I was hoping to move all my whatsapp chats over to Signal and never expected anyone to care because I've watched the inter…

I wonder if this has to do with getting less blue light. After I started using flux I found myself getting exhausted and unable to focus after around 3-4pm especially in the winter…

I don't think it's subconscious. It shows up obviously in bezel thickness and radius of corners. When they release a new product the bezel is thick and the corners are very round. …

Right, and my point is this is the exact same argument the church, and other centralized publishing powers at the time, made about the printing press: Imagine there being competing…

Honest question for you: how is this different from criticisms of the early days of the printing press?

Yes there is a real lesson about the pragmatic impossibility of true decentralization in email. Specialization of labor is a useful thing, it turns out. That being said: the fact t…

Sendgrid puts a huge amount of money and resources into maintaining both technical and political legitimacy. They have relationships with other major senders and receivers of email…

Basically you don't. It's a really big challenge to create a consistently non-blocked email sending service, especially if you host on a big cloud provider like AWS. Sounds like yo…

My experience has just been that SES is a little less user friendly to setup and debug. It's not a huge deal, you'll probably be fine.

Not OP but I've spent a lot of time setting up email sending for SaaS apps. It shouldn't be too difficult, just use a third party provider like sendgrid and make sure your DKIM and…
