That's a pretty crazy background. I wish you'd put your profile in your bio so I could follow you!

Do you have notifications set up or something? xD

by ctxc 11mo ago
I wish your contact details were in your profile, because I'm the kinda guy who'd annoy you till you finally give up and publish the blog ;)

Hi! I'd like some quick feedback - I just implemented RSS on my blog. ie the URL works. Am I supposed to advertise it with the icon explicitly or is it enough if the URL works? What do you generally look for?

Wow. A few questions: - I recently added RSS to my blog. The URL works but I don't advertise it with the icon. Should I? - What do you use to track traffic?

I do have a fairly new personal blog, but I'm not sure how discoverability works. It seems like you'd get traffic from search engines a few years back, but now the only traffic I've had is from a HN post. Everything points to

That's crazy. That's generally scapegoat-ing territory... I'd like to know more about the social network for the secret society though

Ask HN: Have you directly authored a high-profile massive bug? How does it feel?

That person's experience-gained knowledge is much more valuable than the literature you might get from LLMs.

How isn't this just fraud? Expectation is that sensitive meetings run through a pipeline without being exposed to actual people (and if it is for very specific reasons, there are audit trails). Here, they literally listen to sensitive

Haha, I like this!

The best approach is to probably separate the number out I guess. Files deleted: {0 or 1 or 1,000,000}

Haha, I understand. I actually agree with the sentiment in your first comment. These aren't what defines if a company is successful. A good experience, care and craftsmanship are important, but not company defining. I have decided

Just checked your profile out. Turns out I've interacted with Umesh on LinkedIn before on Runnable. Small world. Nice work, all the best!

Open to suggestions to make it better!

Ouch. Unfortunately I don't think I will. I'll probably always be hired by someone else to build a shared vision and aspire to do it as well as I possibly can :)

Tests? What tests? ;) Seriously though, "Files deleted: {0 or 1 or 1000}" would also work :)

by ctxc 11mo ago
Agreed! But I suspect several of these decisions are not intentionally made and are "...meh, whatever".

Haha, interesting!

Thank you, well said!

by ctxc 11mo ago
Haha, one can dream! ;)

I'd be happy with "Files scanned: {0 or 1 or 100}" too ;)

(author) I can assure you my intentions were much less sinister (and simpler ;))
