Bringing Up Bebe, The Danish Way Of Parenting, The Coddling of the American Mind. These are pretty similar to Soviet style, but perhaps a bit less structured. We are basically raising our daughter Soviet-style to the extent that we can; so

So many of the issues in the US stem from an isolating car (instead of people) oriented infrastructure. Everything from social breakdown, obesity, aggressive brodozers, insane utility and insurance expenses - the list goes on.

No, it’s specifically an Anglo country phenomenon. It’s not really an issue in places like Denmark, France, Spain, Russia, China, Chile. There’s several books on the topic if you are open to recommendations.

This idea that parents who let their kids play without 3 layers of bubble wrap and parental hovercraft mode don’t also talk with their kids and aren’t present is not just insulting, it’s far from true. Over coddling causes more problems tha

You're probably thinking "SaaS for other tech end users". Most SaaS is not that.

God, please no more firebase and mongo. AI coding is really really good at sql/relational data and there are services like supabase and neon that make it dead simple.

This is neat, regarding clustering - can this work with distributed erlang/elixir?

A lot of time vanilla ideas and established, well proven patterns are just what the customer ordered. And AI code tools are great at this now.

This is why I build static astro sites now for marketing and blog type pages. Cheaper to run, too - it's just html/css with optional js/ts sprinkles. Another biz lesson I learned luckily through observation (WP sites being do

Which language? I've found Claude very good at Elixir test coverage (surprisingly) but a dumpster fire with any sort JS/TS testing.

Those can listen to database changes and aren't separate services to set up, keep online and pay for? Neat (and news to me)!
