Kudos to launching. This is hard. To me the hardest part is context switching. Meetings, scheduling, resource planning in day job, child care after work, household core, reading, occasion workout, etc. The amount of energy, both intellectua

I prefer audiobook over podcast, for both entertainment and casual learning. Podcast to me contains too much fluff. My pet theory is that, (audio)book, being more effortful to create and listen to, provide better quality filter. There are g

Did you get better at evaluating ideas? Did you get faster in building MVP? Did you get better at listening to customers? Did you get deeper understanding at any of the business domain you worked at? If any of these is yes, then I think you

This is good start. Would be great to see more companies following suite.

Agreed. I think this is why a tech-enabled startups need a technical co-founder/leadership. Someone need to be the final arbiter/advocate for code quality. There are many things cannot be measured directly or conveniently, e.g. ae

At first glance I thought it was some kind of version control for designing tool, like figma. In my experience, the workflow between designers are highly variable and the designs rarely reflect production fidelity. I am hoping to have a too

While I agree with you that it is a didactic problem, I also think it is an optimisation heuristic. When working with engineers, it is expected that they know what, for example, git/version control is, hence such jargon will be sprinkl

I can't articulate what I find deal breaking in these tools. I would love to see more contenders to jira. From my understanding people generally hate jira for its ocean of configuration and slowness. Would love to learn more what probl

The straight line from point a -> b can only be drawn backwards, i.e. from hindsight. When you zoom out, we all goes in circle/iteration. It is true that in some domains some engineers might have better insight than their users, but

Indeed by applying the "dark circle" (ideal filter or sinc filter) in the frequency domain would introduce other artifacts. The restored image would contain some "ringing" around sharp edges, which might not be perceivab

The blurring and then sharpening in spatial domain is equivalent to applying a band-pass filter, or rather a band-stop in the article's case, in the frequency domain. Blurring requires a lot of parameter tuning, in particular the size

I had never used LiveView and tangential to the latency consideration here. Two applications that I think can be enabled by siphoning all events to server are server-side analytics and time travel debugging (or reconstruction of a session).

Good code all looks the same. Modular, name what you meant, clear boundary, relevant stuff got grouped nearer. Bad code is each bad in its own way. There are just infinite combination of bad. Good luck on that. It is like telling kids what
