Hah, thanks! I had a tough time coming up with a title for this. The pulled pork was the star of the story, and this project wouldn't have existed without it, so I went with that in the title. I tried to come up with something more gen

I considered, for a very short while, trying to do some sort of OCR on the image to pull out the thermometer temperature and graph it over time. But that seemed a bit crazy. My first thought was https://xkcd.com/1425/ .

Thermoworks is great. I think my first experience with them was their Thermapen product. It's awesome for checking internal temperatures damn near instantly.

Oh hey, that's the girl that makes the crazy awesome robots. I didn't know she had a TED talk. Just Googling and realized she recently had a brain tumor and underwent surgery! Luckily sounds like she's recovering well. https

The recipe I followed (AmazingRibs' Perfect Pulled Pork [0]) mentions a "fast method" that involves smoking for 2 hours with lots of smoke, and finishing in the oven. I wonder if smoker + pressure cooker would be even faster

Damn, yeah. Same here. That little voice of "is this really the BEST way" has grown stronger and stronger over the years, and I kinda have to fight it back to "allow" myself to do little hacky projects like this. I alway

No mustard. Sprayed with water before applying the rub. Added BBQ sauce sparingly to the final result. I must admit though, that I forgot to apply the rub before I put it on the smoker! (7am me was groggy, and rushing) So I applied it about

Thought about it... I've seen some people using a fan that they modulate with a PID to control the temp, which is on my list of "someday maybe" projects, heh. I wanna say there's even an existing product that does this,

Interesting. That sounds way faster and easier, I'll have to give that a try.

Really just wanted to learn how to use the hammer, in this case. But still, yeah... you're not wrong ;)

This looks like an awesome level of overkill. Right up my alley. Maybe I'll build one of these next :)

I second this. Fresh coffee tastes awesome. I've been using a $100 roaster for a while now, only recently having got into the habit of roasting all the time (previously I'd get lazy and buy a bag at the store pretty often, which w

I love how, even after using Unix-y systems for probably 10-odd years, I still occasionally stumble upon something like this that refers to a command that I've never even heard of , and when I check (on my Mac, no less), it's rig

"the language which will net him the most ROI" is another way of saying "the language which the largest number of people will understand" which seems like a good thing.

The iOS 9 upgrade dialog was terrible. It would appear seemingly at random, often (but not always!) first thing in the morning as I was just unlocking my phone. Sometimes it would appear while I was in the middle of swiping around. I was on

I started a blog on the side in 2015 as I was taking the 30x500 business class, built up an email list, and later wrote a book that teaches folks about the React JS library. I launched the book in 2016. I still have a job at this point, but

Just a quick bit of advice/warning about that too -- we programmer types love to obsess over the tiny details like picking the perfect blog theme, the best static site generator that will never need to change, debating minutiae like

Re: the marketing side of things, if you don't already have a blog, start one today. Write about how to solve problems in your particular area of expertise (or the one you'd like to get hired for). Start a mailing list, and send y

"Entrepreneur" is only one label for the people who read Indie Hackers, though. They are software developers, designers, creatives, fitness enthusiasts, etc. All the people who currently work a day job and are hoping to do their o

There is an excellent book I read recently called Developer Hegemony [0] which goes into depth on your first point. It calls the naive folks "optimists" -- unfailingly devoting themselves to the company ideal. It discusses two oth

I think that's one way, but not the only way. A single specific rare and valuable skill ("software engineering") can make you stand out, but a bundle of related or even unrelated skills can be even better (software engineerin

I remember this feeling too. It was one of the big motivations for me to learn C, back then: the ability to create a real .EXE that didn't need an interpreter. That, and the lightning-fast startup time of compiled programs. I remembe

Seconded. It's a very good course for someone getting started with Elixir having already had a good amount of programming experience. I originally bought it at $60, and even at that price point I would buy it again.

Yep, that's how it works, and that's "by default." Not saying that's wrong, it's just interesting. It's not just for "disruptive" companies either.

"more views" is relative, too -- the Baremetrics blog had been around quite a while and already was pulling in good traffic, so I could see why their new Medium blog wasn't quickly matching their old traffic. FWIW I've s

I sometimes wonder about this in the larger context of companies as a whole. If a company has one product, and that product is released and "done", then from a purely logical standpoint, why do they still need to retain employees

I think user expectations (and/or product/UX expectations) have changed along with the rise of the SPA. In the days of server-rendered apps before SPA was a thing, the answer to all of those questions would've been some versi
