What a strange world. 621 points on Hacker News but the thing doesnt actually exist. I'm thinking about submitting a new post soon 'Show HN: I am writing An effective micro transac…

I would argue that's just a problem with how you spend your time. Most of this Twitter stuff IS a waste of time. It's not productive let's face it.

People argue about whether remote work is 'productive' but is 'productive' all we really care about? I understand this is Hacker News so productive is the guiding principle but wha…

Morning coffee at work is where you actually solve problems without managers butting in. You don't typically talk to friends about work as well.

I have a script I call brain dump. It is just vim running in a while loop in a terminal. I can switch to at any time with Ctrl+Shift+J. I type some stuff and when I'm done I save a…

I have an Alfred workflow that lets me copy any text, press CMD + Shift + X, and emails me the snippet. I then have a simple app that connects to my email account (Gmail) and lets …

Well those warehouse jobs won't exist either...

Oh look another article with a provocative (e.g. link-bait) title. I'm sure this will be a well-balanced, nuanced piece on the costs and benefits of TDD, when it makes sense, when …

Probably would have been easier to just fix your app to not require constant attention.

Website isn't great. It wants me to signup just so I can see what it does. It talks about templates but I can't see a link to what a template is and what it looks like anywhere. I …

Well I used Docker on top of Mesos so I have quite a bit of experience and the above were all problems I faced. They're not impossible problems obviously but they take time and tho…

I still love Docker and do think it solves a genuine problem. But yes, where to put your logs, how to manage state, how to schedule containers on machines, how to coordinate proces…

TL;DR It's too damn complicated if you're not Google/Twitter/Netflix. Most people would be fine just deploying OS packages and keeping their stacks as simple as possible.
