In general agreement with one caveat; Svelte is hardly new. Rich Harris was using it at NYT 4 years (at least) ago, and it's been open source since. It's caught on because of; a pushback against React, the surging popularity of Vu

my takeaway is that I'm impressed they're running such a large scale on scala/JVM. I was at a retail startup in the mid 2010s that was doing their own 3PL, $500m / year and the JVM was a constant pain while scaling up.

I'm 44 and starting a few small startups; individual SaaS products that are small enough to be able to complete to market in a reasonable amount of time in between responsibilities. Unfortunately that's been a year in the making n

I'm a parent who has had children in day care for the last four years. The parallels between daycare for our toddlers and what many startups and big tech companies have provided and allowed to transpire are very clear to me and many o

what's sad is that the people who were there doing real work are being lumped in with the people who were there for adult daycare.

too much soy, too many seed oils in fake meat for my liking. but if you haven't tried char broiled oysters, that don't carry the same risks, then you're missing out.

I live in the South. It's nothing like that where I live because I'm in a large city in the South. The Rs are as loud and as proud as the Ds. And then there are a ton of people who are tired of the tribalism and politic ruining fr

One would have to be blissfully ignorant or uninformed about Twitter to think the majority were not. The bios tell the story. The internal activist groups within the company prior to acquisition tell the story. The tweets from the employees

I don't think that's a fair take. A lot of people don't want to hire activists for roles that aren't activist roles.

Not trying to poop in the cereal, but take a beat before adding your name to the site; I'd be wary that this will be used to blacklist a whole lot of folks. There's a large segment of tech that doesn't see a tenure at Twitter

If you haven't checked out Farcaster (farcaster.xyz) I highly recommend it. There is none of that nonsense, and it's a twitter-like community for builders that reminds me of Twitter ala 2010.
