Sorry but you don't get few million for projects doing 15k/month.

I respect the self hosting part of course. All I am saying is that the premise of the post is that you guys take privacy seriously but you still left that door opened that someday you may use LLMs.

"We don’t train LLMs on Zulip Cloud customer data, and we have no plans to do so. Should we decide that training our own LLMs is necessary for Zulip to succeed, we promise to do so in a responsible manner" :). What a clever way to

I remember the music/sound when ICQ used to load up. The logo was brilliant. Nostalgia. Circa 1999-2001 when I used it heavily. Best part though: finding strangers and becoming online friends with many of them (without worrying about s

Honestly, this is why I like HN. Mostly honest, straight from the heart high value comments. Sure, it can sting at times and can be critical but I prefer that. I wouldn't want it to change at all.

"Most startups that COULD exist are never actually started because the founders want to be making higher salaries working at Google/Microsoft/Meta/etc." Sorry but I disagree. People who start startups are people who

"if my app is so simple that it can be made using htmx, then isn't so simple that it can be made without it?" Great point and something I am looking at myself. With libraries like Alpine that gives you powerful JS capability

I think the primary reason is the overall JS Fatigue. We are now excited to go back to something much simpler than the whole ecosystem of the last decade or so. This is why tools like Alpine and HTMX are now gaining popularity. Personally,

I consider Laravel to be a framework. Boilerplates are another wrapper on top of frameworks . For example, there is Laravel Spark which is a boilerplate on top of Laravel. I tried it and it was so bloated and complex to actually change thin

I m the one who got downvoted. I honestly was trying to help but I can see why my tone seemed a bit rude.

This is the result of the last decade or so where SAAS has become very lucrative and barrier to entry is almost nil with some many tools to quickly build something. AI is just more fuel on that existing fire. Everyone and their mothers are

Do it manually if you have their email. Email them asking what made them abandon the purchase.

Always be mindful of this when submitting to HN. The real test of traffic surge. Right now, it is of not much use as it just gives server error.

I love this stack and using it for my personal blog. But that gets very low traffic. Are you using this in production and at what level of traffic including DB writes etc. Would you be able to share some numbers if possible ?

Is it just me or the bigger problem is investor owning 70% ? You have a lot of problems from what you wrote and the CTO issue honestly is just a small part of it. You have spent over 4 years and still have nothing to show for ? I think the

Get a lawyer involved and make sure any equity has a Vesting Period regardless of who the person is. 9-12 months is ambitious and most startups fail anyway. Not to demoralize you but keep that in mind.

I used to think like you and now that I am almost 42, I don't really care that much about hitting a certain thing by a certain age. Don't get me wrong. I still have Goals but I have stopped trying to set arbitrary deadlines. Impor

Let's do some math first. 1.5 months of work sold for 10K. That's 1/6th of your current salary. Let's say your current salary is X. So the equation becomes: 1/6 * currentSalary = 10,000. currentSalary = 6

My take is that AI may replace mediocre task taking developers who just write code. It won't replace problem solvers who use code as a means to solve actual problems.

This reminds me of a story I read where someone named "Null" had lot of issues with computerized systems. Can't find thr exact story but this was a few years ago.

"The reason many start with cloud is that most businesses quickly grow, or at least hope to quickly grow, to the point where they'll need it" And most don't. That's the point of the article.

You are missing the point. You may not need multiple availability zones when you are starting out and majority of cases never reach that point anyway. We are over optimizing too much because of "cloud" and dumbing us down further.

So if you use AWS and screw up a deployment in production, you can blame AWS and get away with it ? Even if it was your fault ?

I think you are missing the point of the article. What I took from it is that majority of cases do not need the complexity that cloud brings including tons of unnecessary tools that are part of a cloud deployment. Yes u need to get to Pmf f

This is not good for you in long term. This is how the insurance mafia operates and why everything is so expensive. U maybhave a so called "good" insurance but someone is paying somewhere. A 90k bill should not be a thing regardle

To be fair, things like SASS and LESS have been out there for a while. Tailwind requires build in production.

Love stuff like this. For my personal blog, I have a simple Makefile that builds the Go Binary, generates a static HTML output and then deploys it to a DigitalOcean VPS using ssh, reloads Caddy and Supervisor and boom.
