Really interesting. I like the way that the total ordering approach makes it clear when an earlier compatibility-version (e.g. 1._) is being maintained alongside a later version (e.g. 2._). That's something that isn't expressible

If you have a piece of business logic that you want to make available in N languages/platforms, is Haxe a valid option? The only other alternative I know is to write a library in C/C++/Rust and use the FFIs in your target lan

Not sure why you are comparing Google Cloud Pub/Sub to Kinesis - the former is a MQ system, not a distributed commit log. When creating a Kinesis consumer, I can specify whether I want to start reading a stream from a) TRIM_HORIZON (wh

The rules for bumping to 1.0.0 are based on hindsight ("probably already be 1.0.0"), exogenous factors ("users") and human emotion ("worrying a lot"). It would be impossible for a computer to correctly bump a p

There's nothing you can do in a 0.x.x release that wouldn't also conform to the Semver rule around incrementing the MAJOR version: http://semver.org/#spec-item-8 The idea of 0.x.x reflecting a level of instability

by alexatkeplar 11y ago
The fundamental problem with Semver is that the jump from a 0.x.x series to a 1.0.0 is incredibly difficult to call, and often gets delayed almost indefinitely. 0.9.9 -> 1.0.0 means the opposite of 1.9.9 -> 2.0.0 - the former is an ob

No, I know a couple. Look for companies with around $10-100m annual revenues and no external investors. If you speak to their owners, their biggest frustration is, ironically, competing with unicorns for talent recruitment.

My only interaction with Product Hunt was through the email harvester they ran on 17 December 2014 (a few months after joining Y Combinator) which found our company's public info@ email address and subscribed it to Product Hunt.
