As a Bilingual person, the biggest thing I care about is a name that is in my language/culture but is easily pronounceable by others who have never heard of that name. Nothing wrong if it is tough to pronounce of course but as an Ameri

Funny you say that. As a PHP developer, I found Go to be the easiest to pick up.

"few wantrapreneurs who were usually moonlighting" Yes that's the potential downside. That's why I said "almost" who cant do their own thing. That difference is very slim.

"the type of people you need at this stage are the type who could be almost be startup founders themselves" Pretty much. I run a bootstrapped SAAS and built a small team over the years. I havae made so many mistakes when hiring th

Nothing special. I used to workout in my 20s and just got back to the basics. Eating right is always a challenge for me but if I can stick to a 2-3 day a week workout schedule, it does wonders. For me again, it was just a very weak Core whi

I started getting lower back pain last few years (41 now) and in my case, it was just bad habits, lack of exercise, extra fat on abdomen area etc. I started paying attention to it by working out especially the Core including squats and dead

There is a difference between working for 1 company that did crypto vs choosing to work for multiple companies that are in crypto and talking about it aggressively on your Resume. For example, whenever I see "Web3, Blockchain, Crypto E

And not to mention that doctors usually have no work life balance. I have many doctors in my family/friends here in the US and most of them have no time for anything including weeknights and weekends. It is crazy.

Don't get jealous. Get inspired :). I do understand what you mean though.

But he did add that perhaps the best way is to solve your own problem. As a founder, I also can only think of my own problems that I faced while working on projects and businesses.

Honestly, the impact may be less monetary and more reputation but as a B2B SAAS provider, I agree that it may not have been that dramatic as I made it sound for the 25 mins of downtime. It is just that we never had a downtime this long, EVE

Is there a postmortem coming ? Would you be able to tell us what happened at a high level ?

Fair enough. They resolved it now and I was in a bit of panic considering our revenue depends on the website. As a developer though, I should have been more sympathetic.

Omg. What timing. I feel your pain. We recently migrated to Cloudflare Pages and I was happy at the speed and everything and now this :(. Never had a downtime when I self hosted on my DigitalOcean droplet. damn. Re-considering going back to

Ah well. I cannot access the Workers and pages menu. It returns an error.

Are you saying disable workers and then your cloudflare Pages will be back up ?

Our main Marketing website that brings revenue is down. No Sympathy from me. It has been 20 mins now. Losing money as I type this. EDIT: I panicked a little. As a dev, I should have been more sympathetic.

I am not a digital nomad but as a parent of 3 young children, I cannot even imagine doing something like this especially for a long period. So tough for kids. I think some have done it but stopped after 2-3 years. It must be extremely diffi

SMS on roaming can be a hit or miss. I travel internationally every year and I am always worried that some SMSs wont reach and it happens from time to time. I especially hate those product/services that only do SMS based 2FA.

The problem is that we are talking about kids who could be 9 or 10 and not just 17 or just under 18. Yes there may be some 12 year olds on HN but I would doubt that you will have a 10 year old here with their opinion. There is a huge differ

As someone who is very pro Free Speech and hates censorships in general, banning these toxic social media especially for Kids is a good idea and as a parent, I am all in for it. If you cannot smoke/drink till 21, you shouldn't be

Don't insert the logs/events/analytics into your Application DB. Usually, you send those to specialist datastores (OLAP etc) that process such high volume of data. This way, you keep the load and storage on your App db low AN
