Article 13 is terrible not because it’s terrible for start-ups, it’s terrible because it’s terrible for people. I’m pretty close to the rough-end of GDPR in my current job, but it represents real benefits for millions of people. If you aske

I think Rankin has a great point. When you use AWS, your OS is no longer really Linux, it’s the suite of AWS services. The assumption that you need to tear up and tear down EC2 means that it makes sense for S3 to become your file-system, Ba

Out of interest, why do developers use the SDK and send these events? Is it just for ‘sign in with Facebook’? I’m surprised at the specificity of the event-data; do they offer an analytics interface like for GA? Do they give you any cash or

You probably want a code-formatter (perhaps on a git hook). Trailing white space, fill-column width, and tabs vs. spaces are really all I’d expect from cross editor config.

It didn’t come off as preachy to me. bronco21016 makes an excellent point (not made often) that you don’t need to spend all your waking hours focused on making your company successful in order to have a job which you find fulfilling and pay
