I actually appreciated to read this article in full on HN. People should do that more often…
Yes, no pictures, no ads, I liked this format as well.

If you see enough of these AI-generated portraits on the Internet you'll start to notice the similarities, especially since This Person Does Not Exist is usually the source for the vast majority of them that I've seen. They're very often used as profile pics by Twitter bots. The way the person's head is framed in the shot is pretty much identical most of the time and kind of a tell on its own. Other tells: - steve.jp…
For me a big giveaway on customer3.jpg is earrings - they don't have a real shape and don't match at all.
I dunno. I call bullshit on almost all of these tips. Not all developers are awkward, socially-inept, and incapable of designing their way out of a paper bag. I find that to be a really tired stereotype these days. I’d say: if you want to be successful, push yourself. All of these things are skills that can be learned.
Any tips on how to push oneself? I frequently find that I reach the “I give up” ceiling very quickly when I try to push myself on most things. I reckon it’s because I can be quite impatient and intolerant towards frustrations. And what are your thoughts on talent? Sure, most skills can be learned, but the rate of learning can vary and time is limited. How worthwhile is it to learn something if you know you might be s…
I try to spend time learning things that interest me personally, and when that happens to overlap with things I deal with at my day job, great. If not, oh well.
I don't really consider how long it might take to learn something if it's interesting to me, and I tend to dive pretty deep, even if I don't get to "expert" level. I figure if I need to become an expert in a thing, that'll come with time.

I'm impatient and easily frustrated as well. But I've learned to kind of lean into my frustration as a motivator when learning new things.

yes, but you need to or you SHOULD have MVP to sell just to not get into position where you sold something that isnt there :)
Nope I still disagree. Having sold something that doesn't exist is a good position to be in. Then you just make it real fast (we're good at making stuff!) In the worst case you can't make it fast enough and you lose the customer, but you've at least proven there's a market for the idea. There will be other customers.

That would be extremely useful to know about. I never understand how SAAS products deal with tax.
FastSpring is another alternative for SaaS & international taxes. I'm sure there's more besides Paddle & FastSpring. The idea is to look for a company that will act as the "merchant of record", not just a payment processor: https://fastspring.com/tax-management/ You end up paying more to them than Stripe would charge, but it might be worth it if you just don't want to deal with that administrative headache. (I'm not…

Why does your site say: > It's not allowed for us to publish your app in our own developer accounts I've published apps for others in my developer account
I can't find it in the guidelines right now, but it's disallowed by both Apple and Google. I've personally seen Apple reject apps because of that before (not an app that I created though, since I follow the guidelines)

I found it, it's a restriction on "app builders" or "app generators". If I manually build an app for a client, it's fine for me to publish it in my account. Glad I didn't do anything wrong.
Interesting point that it's not a restriction for all app creators but just more commercialized services.
