It may be worth noting that Steve Lucco[1] also left MS recently, after a stint of about 20 years. [1] self-described co-designer of Typescript - https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-lucco-b5084958/

Until someone wants to do something slightly different, can't figure out how to make it work because they've tried nothing and are all out of ideas - so they just use string concatenation and execute the string dynamically. Ask m

This feels like it was written by a Brit. If it was, the fact a bunch of Yanks are taking it seriously will tickle them pink.

I wrote an article recently about a method I use that I call the "funnel architecture". The idea is to concentrate important high-level concepts of your client app's infrastructure into a single file - the intent being to le

I run a paid email forwarding service that allows you to redirect mail sent to a burner address to be published as an RSS feed. Link in my bio if you're interested.

I wish HN published the user comments/subscriptions pages as RSS. For example, I "follow" a few users on StackOverflow by adding the feed that SO makes available linked from their profile. Super useful.

Hey, thanks for that. Just confirmed this does seem to stop the annoying login popups from Medium, etc. I tried to figure out how to disable that a few months ago but my google-fu was weak and it seemed like nobody knew how to do it.

I had assumed the slow-down was a result of resource-drain on two fronts: 1) Major updates of the actual Facebook product - I could see a lot of React resources being pulled into that. 2) Fiber implementation getting bogged down in the real

You're on HN. If it's not growing explosively - it's dead. Do I really need a "/s" here?

I guess there's a few parts to it, for me. There's "the itch" - the desire to program, to build something. Which I do find coding-style games tend to satisfy (so there's the fear I will have lessened motivation to

This is one of the reasons I don't play Factorio, or games like it. The point of playing games for me is escapism and rest/recuperation. I feel like I only have so much programming time in me - I think playing these types of g

I really want to do this. But considering my product is effectively a service to help deal with unsolicited mail - sending unsolicited email about on-boarding feels wrong. I decided not to do it (after sending one, doh >.<). After s

It's not even just newsletters though. Every legitimate service (even Mozilla!) will spam you repeatedly with stuff irrelevant to why you gave them your email in the first place. I run a paid service that attempts to deal with exactly

If you use DataGrip, make sure you try out the new (to me as an IDEA user, anyway) "Show output results in editor" function. It's disabled in IDEA by default, so go switch it on and try it. It's my most recent example of

Domain name registration related shenanigans is so weird to me. Lately I've been getting mail from various folks notifying me that the `.com` equivalent of one of my `.net` domains is going to be available. It's weird to me that

Kopi is more broad, it's primarily about handing out burner addresses after you create a "forwarder". You don't have to visit Kopi each time you want to use a new address. You can reply to messages sent via a forwarder,

I run a service called Kopi that does this (plus email2rss functionality). You can bring your own domain, so broad block-list based blocking like that doesn't work. Plus, you're not locked in to the service. It's your domain
