I generally believe that, but there is such a thing as “too far”. Your (I’m assuming well intentioned) arguments are those that people abusing power trot out whenever it suits them, because it works so well to get them…
It’s a good thing that they’ve committed many blatant and easily provable criminal acts then. The type you spend the rest of your life in prison for, if you’re not being protected by captured systems. I understand you,…
I think you’re being disingenuous and deliberately trying to refocus the conversation on something else now. He literally said “if you vote for me, you won’t need to vote again”. It’s not an ambiguous statement and…
Here is a video of him saying it: https://youtube.com/watch?v=bTm0du4kUH0
I think at that point founder taste comes in. “Strong opinions loosely held” comes to mind, in that you should already have some pretty strong ideas about where you want your product to go. Otherwise why build it? or…
Pants are for closers.
Go looking for them wherever you think they might gather or hang out (online or in person). Reach out to those who seem like a good fit and ask them about the problem(s) they’re having that your product solves. Once you…
Good advice. Do you think the part of point two about building every feature request might be a bit risky for some solo folks? It’s easy to get carried away building every request, especially with early adopters who…
https://approximated.app It makes connecting user domains to your app easy and reliable at any scale. Each Approximated user gets the own globally distributed, managed cluster of servers with its own dedicated IPv4…
We can also invert that by asking: does a student become smarter by writing their essay on their own? I would argue that the answer to questions is no. It depends on how you define “smarter”, though. You would likely…
It's also entirely possible, maybe even likely, for people to get burnt out doing something they love because we don't set the natural boundaries we would with something we're strictly doing pragmatically. I still think…
https://approximated.app - reliably automating custom domains and their SSL certs at scale. For SaaS, marketplaces, platforms, outbound services, etc. who have a lot of domains to manage. Coming up on a million domains…
Why do you loathe it? Coming from someone who kind of wants it.
I built approximated.app on elixir, proxying 300k+ domains. It's a great ecosystem, I've never seen anything else handle really hard problems so well in my 15 years as a developer. Concurrency? Trivial. Reliability?…
My experience with my own pixel 7 pro and a pixel 5 has been that these devices are an order of magnitude lower in build quality than Samsung or iPhones. I really, really wanted to be happy with them but they've been a…
Cool! I'm not a supabase user, but I imagine I could use this for any postgresql database. Is that true?
Ah yes, I too have accidentally committed node_modules. Jokes aside, and coming from a place of ignorance, it's interesting to me that a file count that size is still a real performance issue for git. I'd have expected…
I'm the founder of https://approximated.app, which is a service focused entirely around making this easy, affordable, and reliable. We have a 30 day free trial if you want to check it out risk free. It works with any…
My thinking is that it would be a bit like email: run your own server if you want, and the other 99% can use any of the zillion hosting services that exist or would crop up to do it for you with the ease of Gmail.
In your example, you compare Lambda against a separate monolith for handling the webhooks, but with a monolith wouldn't the comparison be between lambda and just adding a route and controller (or equivalent) to the…
Am I going crazy or were many of these exact comments posted the last time this was linked?
Isn't the main problem that this change forces all software development, regardless of purpose, to be classified as R&E and therefore forced to be amortized?
Considering that elixir is a functional language, it makes sense that it doesn't make use of objects. I'll also push back on the idea that OO is cleaner than functional. OO tends to heavily use inheritance and mutates…
Very true, maybe it's not a strong predictor either way.
That does seem like the same arguments that are made prior to just about anything becoming mainstream though. I'm not saying it means nothing that python has so much mindshare, but the same could have been said to…
