#143Just because I saw you (wenbin) in this thread I thought I'd be helpful: On https://www.listennotes.com/api/pricing/ There's a typo: "Instantly access to 771,769 podcasts" Instantly -> Instant Really enjoyed the post, thanks for sharing.
That's not a typo. They are two different sentences with slightly different meaning. Access as a noun or access as a verb.
"Instant access to x podcasts"
or
"Instantly access x podcasts"?

#144I love these stories. I'm a one-person company too: contribsys.com. My production server stack is Apache + some Ruby CGI scripts, to serve static files and handle billing webhooks. I spend less than an hour per week on devops maintenance. KISS is the #1 principle when scaling a solo operation.

I respectfully disagree. HN is very much about the -business- of tech. Telling us how you made your mousetrap is all well and good... Having us ask how many mice it has captured is absolutely relevant. Germane even.
I disagree. This isn't Tech Business News or Startup News, it's Hacker News.

#146I really like the idea of monolithic repos but can see some downsides when there is more than one person working on a project. It would be cool if there was a simplified way to have an entire business operate under source control.

#149My own one-man startup Trunk[0] is very infrastructure heavy so I’m super thankful for technologies like Docker. You don’t have to go full-blown Kubernetes but there are various small wins you can still have. Need to upgrade a piece of your stack? Just build a new container a deploy it! Need to bring up all your services in development? `docker-compose up`! And with Docker Swarm, it’s super easy to scale up background job and application processes across multiple cloud instances. I can’t imagine doing this without Docker.
When getting a business off the ground, it’s extremely important you do customer development and not new technology development. When running a business however, new technology can become a competitive advantage and help you move faster. Just make sure it’s really doing that.
