midipipe on mac is pretty good. I'm currently trialling it to play/pause spotify and mute/unmute using it + some osascript. http://www.subtlesoft.square7.net/MidiPipe.html

But once you've imported that package it's part of _your_ codebase.

They're not, no. Think of PaaS as like Heroku, whereas Notify us more like Sendgrid (ie a SaaS) and DesignSysten is like MaterialUI. Most services are not using PaaS, but are deployed onto AWS or Azure and integrate with other services

All of the above, also I've hired seniors - you'd be much better off replacing the 4+1 hour assignment with a 1 hour AMA or discussion about a project or ticket with the team they'd be working with and getting their feedback.

"Show me this was written by an American, without telling me it was written by an American" It's still pretty neat though. :)

People have been doing this for years. Main problem is that one person can't scale and is _always_ on call (goodbye holidays, weekends etc).

I guess it's important to note the scale here. About a third of Basecamp employees is ~15-20 people?

I also like draw.io - I found out recently that it's open source and has a 'desktop' (ie electron) version https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop/releases/tag/v13.6....

Worked on some of this in the UK a few years ago. Main complexity from a tech pov is hooking into whatever CRM and line of business and workflow/workforce management solutions the local authority uses. And then in public sector it&#x27

Anyone else expecting this to be a Doctor Who story?

Maybe it's me, but I was expecting this to be something to do with Arduino, given the name and the colour they've chosen for the logo.

All of your code will be thrown away.

Which country are you from? UK here - even the thought of having to do this sounds weird.

Problem with this is that it doesn't take into account the profitability of the SaaS. Meaningless saying that x% of SaaSs don't have feature y, when there's no indication that implementing feature y demonstrably drives increa

Congratulations - what a great story! It's somehow much more satisfying to read this than ludicrous $Billion acquisitions in SV. Seems more human.

For me, the thing that's missing from the article is the 'so what?' If Linux package managers were faster then <it would affect me how?>

I wonder how anyone could consider this as being "so many words", or being so time poor that they couldn't spare 4 mins to read it...

Is anyone pretending that?

Dunno what hole she is in but Excel, Sharepoint are all things that small companies struggling to make a profit don't work on & rather is the tool of choice for all things by hugely profitable organisations that will pick the bones

This might have been a 'secret', but even at the time, as the words were coming out of Farage's mouth, it was transparently obvious what was going on. How is this even a story?

I guess you could argue that using Profitability as a metric as a guide to how succesful the hiring strategy was? I wouldn't, but you could...

Sounds like patching wasn't the issue - it was just poorly configured (ie no restriction on who can become an admin).

+1 to this. GDPR is just the personal data equivalent of the "don't be a dick" principle.

More GDPR strawmen. If a user requests deletion, assign anyYassociated entities (eg purchases, conversations etc) to an anonymous user. Or, keep the original user record and just blank all of the fields. You've had two years to think a
