It is funny I had the same exact journey but starting from VB4. I actually wonder what would have happened if instead of killing VB for .NET that Microsoft instead merged legacy VB into the Office team and actually updated it instead of the

In a lot of ways it is not different from Rails or Django. Just approaching it from a non-technical market with a ton of plugins. You can in fact add an API and execute PHP or use it as an API Gateway. Definitely been tempted to use it but

I think to add to your point I don’t think a lot of recent YC founders have real world experience or have minimal real world experience outside of school. I mean what’s the point of getting a job when you can go from school to directly star

I was rejected from a recent YC startup for basically saying I am not going to put unnecessary nights and weekends. And after recently having a kid I definitely am never going to ever put unnecessary nights and weekends as frankly I just ca

As that cocky beginner who went in to Jiujitsu and ran out of breath after 30 seconds in a 6 minute roll and had to tap out 15 times in the next 5 and a half minutes against a smaller opponent, it is repeated because it is true. A huge part

I had a son in the last year. I wanted to be a young dad around 26 but had him at 36. The turning point to having him was when my wife’s friends started having kids. After having a kid she realized how much we love having him. But a delay i

I have been running a DevOps agency for the last 8 years and while each Clouds basically offers the same things at this point the two things that always trip me up are networking and IAM. Some things I noticed as I have done work on AWS, Az

I wrote a scraper that downloads 10-Ks from the SEC and then built a simple analysis based on high dividends/stock buybacks and a discounted cash flows analysis. It found some pretty undervalued companies that ended up doing fairly we

Every one of my customers uses message queues either Redis, SQS and rarely Kafka using Celery, Sidekiq, etc. If anything it is boring and works and just part of the default stack everyone uses.

There is Linus Torvalds quote I really like which goes, “There are people who point at the moon and say I want to go there. I look at the pothole on the road and I want to fix that before I fall in.” What I found is if you start looking for

I really liked their recent one on Microsoft. They cover how intertwined Microsoft was in the early days with IBM. IBM did notice the trend towards PCs and made it a skunkwork project out of Florida to remove it from the IBM bureaucracy. Se

We work with customers with various workloads and some ways we help them scale: 1. Have a baseline amount of resources and use keda to scale up using spot instances. 2. For video call bots scale up during the calls and then scale down once

I know this sounds petty but the XP’s Classic’s task bar gray was ever slightly off from Windows 2000 and it drove me nuts. I think Windows 2000 was visually the best.
