This 100%. I think the people largely arguing for no frameworks have no idea what real productivity looks like at large scale engineering orgs. This mostly means you are not handcrafting libraries. There is a dedicated team who manages plat

Feature creep in open source is almost always because of user pressure "add this or I'm going elsewhere". Nobody has the insight to build in a modular way on top of that library or system, ironically despite being programmers

Every message is deleted after 1024 seconds by default in any stream created on the fly by posting a message. New streams can be explicitly created with lower ttls that expire messages sooner. All streams cap at 1024 messages and are aged o

I built something similar but it wasn't intended as a clipboard. Mostly for anonymous chat but I personally ended up using it as a clip board. The difference. We don't persist anything on the server side, it's totally in memo

They were too early. A decade from now when NLP is bullet proof and AI has made significant advances we'll revisit this. Pragmatically it makes sense at this juncture to focus on the API behind the voice interface that lets you issue c

It's always a shock to see startups like this get shutdown. I guess initially there's a lot of hype and excitement, almost like an inevitability that will lead to raising more and more funding until a business model is found. It&#

I've read the stories about what you guys built. It's pretty epic. And not like you were trying to do cool stuff, it was literally based on a need. That's what's amazing. Just manipulating software and infrastructure to

So interestingly, they made that bet internally, standardised their own platform and then released some sort of abstracted on demand cloud compute services. However the tools they developed for themselves and the SOA style of development wo

I'm sure it would have been nice to have that tech in 94 and yet at the same time I get the feeling it had to play out the way it did for Amazon to succeed. Without the first part of the journey Amazon would not have gone on to build A

It's not totally confirmed yet. Russian officials are denying it's an attack by them. It could have been shot down and fallen into Polish territory. Let's not assume the worst just yet.

Can confirm. Have many GitHub stars. They can't pay your bills. Converting stars to money is an interesting process. And not asking for donations, that doesn't work except for the top 0.001% of projects. You have to find a large c

Federation isn't going to be everyone moving to a decentralised platform like Mastadon. It's going to be groups segregating to different platforms based on their interests and values. Whether or not that network of things becomes

Alright, let me throw my hat into this ring with a totally unfinished idea. I started working on a design for something called the Micro Communication Protocol (MUCP) [1]. It's a header based protocol that's transport agnostic and

As I read your last point all I can think is, no one owns the earth, why should private companies own the digital space. It's frustrating when you can see the problem but not offer a solution. Mostly because the ideas are many but to e

A lot of time is lost to Twitter. I don't think it ends up being like the social norms of your small group of friends that go to the pub. How big is that group? How do you converse? From personal experience it's vastly different.

It's a noble goal. I think many an engineer have tried. Even convincing your own social group to try new things is hard so it really has to offer something new or attract a specific type of audience. I think most people's group of

Not a knock on the author. All power to him for doing this. I worked on similar small side projects years ago. But I'm not convinced. And not of nicheless, just of anything attempting to fill the void where Twitter once was. I think so

Yea I'm aware of that. I wish you guys the best of luck. I tried a lot of this with Micro. I think it's the right direction especially if you can simplify the tooling. The hard part is just the adoption curve but I think you have

I think protobuf really works well on the backend and specifically with compiled languages like Go or C++ as per seen by the usage at Google and adoption of gRPC for Go based cloud tooling. Beyond that it's a huge failure. The generate

Didn't Remix raise funding? Trying to read between the lines here. No appetite to raise further funding? Too much competition? Just curious.
