I like the idea, but I can't imagine using it for a few reasons. 1. There's a catch-22. In order to fetch binaries you need to first install eget. 2. You need to trust eget to not be (or become) malicious. Perhaps #1 can be resolv

I can't quite put my finger on exactly why I dislike "gpt wrappers". I think it's because they more or less boil down to a cash grab with little chance of a future. You provide users with a feature they presumably pay fo

The same reasons websites are minified and obfuscated.

I have always found pen and paper to be far more satisfying to check things off and it brings clarity better than a digital note or Kanban board. I use a single sheet of paper every day. I write down 2-4 things I want to get done that day a

Maybe this perspective will help-- even if you release an amazing product, it's still most likely the case no one will use it. Getting users (and more difficult, payers) is incredibly hard. With that in mind, what do you have to lose o

Unlikely? The release that was live was the same one I released years prior. There was no suspicious login activity, logs, etc.

I was in a similar situation with Google. I have a Chrome extension with 10,000+ users. At one point Google flagged my extension as malware and automatically uninstalled from all of my (paid!) users. Of course, they didn't tell me why.

Then that company's threshold for "sensible monthly cost" would be a lot higher. 500k? 1m? Give them the option to set something.

Perhaps that is true, but the stress and anxiety from seeing 100K bill is real and has an impact. https://www.forbes.com/sites/sergeiklebnikov/2020/06/17/20-y...

There is a very obvious fix for surprise billing. Enforce a billing cap and terminate service if it's met. Even better if you send alerts when the cap is approaching. If I pay $39/month, a default cap should be $39 per-month. Othe

This is something I struggled with personally for a long time. I had a list of projects I wanted to complete ranging from SaaS products to video games. I tried working on multiple projects but my mind always focused on one at the detriment

I like the idea of Zed, and I recently went editor hopping. I installed Zed but was immediately hit with "your gpu is not supported/ will run incredibly slow" message. Gah...

I recommend taking a look at "The Electric Underground"'s videos on how to get better at shmups. He has a lot of useful advice (where you should be looking while playing, conventions, how to see danger, etc). [0]: https:&#x2

BulletML was developed by ABA Games (aka kenta cho, creator of the classic rrootage, which is now open source). It was rrootage that sent me down a rabbit hole and eventually stumbled onto fal-works and firedancer after someone suggested th

I use it for something. I had a github page that was public, but it was made private and the DNS config was removed. Fast forward to today. I made the private repo public again and forced a deploy of the page without making a new commit. It

The timing is pretty uncanny. I just deployed a github page and had a DNS issue because I configured it wrong. I hit "check again" and github went down. Hope I don't appear in the incident report.

I've been thinking about programming languages a bit and I agree. I was looking at Odin and some other languages. I find it fascinating a language can be purpose-built, like Odin. It's a language that was built for game developmen

Not sure why, but I thought the podcast was "thisdeveloperslife.com" which made the title even more interesting as I had no idea why developers would be out chasing an antelope in the desert. Though, maybe it would explain what ha

For that kind of processing, I prefer to use the database itself. I mean, it is a "data" base and it's pretty good at it. I get it-- sometimes you have a half cooked spreadsheet someone sends you and you need to run some anal

Yes-- the one area where a pure-Go solution is weak happens to be 3d game development. The obvious solution is to use C/C++ library bindings (raylib, opengl, etc). Yes-- you pay a tax for making calls into the C world and it becomes a

Life is barely long enough to get good at one thing so you should choose your thing wisely. That's wisdom I've held for quite some time. Coincidentally, I chose Go as my language of choice as well. The factors that led me to that
