The codebase is a bit of a horror, though, of the old "PHP+SQL+HTML mixed in a blender" variety. I went in to make a few mods at one point and it was pretty scary.

I think you're implying that I'm stating the obvious here, but, almost every time one of these sunsetting announcements comes out, it's written as if the company just recently decided this was genuinely the best move for ever

Thanks for the feedback - I updated it to make that available for preview. I would recommend checking out Egghead.io if you haven't. They've got a lot of courses covering a range of stuff. Specifically, if you want to get into Red

Here's the original HN post when Dropbox acquired Hackpad: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7604809 1104 days ago -- about 3 years and a week. Something makes me think this had been planned for a while.

The course relies on Create React App, and does not delve into deploying to production. CRA does have a "build" command (npm run build) so you can use it to generate files suitable for deployment.

> Other ad blocking technology will also block Google's tracking mechanisms, and they really don't want that to happen. Good point. After using uBlock Origin for a while now, "ads" have become synonymous with "tr

I try to think of the "market" as a pond. The customers are the fish. If you manage to catch a few fish, but can't hold on to them because your product isn't ready yet, it's not the end of the world. At that point,

They didn't, but, in the off chance that when they said "I always mean to go but rarely do" they actually meant "I always RSVP to those things but I never go", I think the parent was just taking the opportunity to m

Agree with the others, it doesn't have to be the wife who stays home. Obviously every family is different, the spouses have different goals and skillsets, etc -- but the decision can certainly be made along goal + skillset lines rather

It's interesting that there aren't more companies doing 30-35hr weeks. With the amount of sentiment like this on HN alone, I'm surprised there aren't engineers going out and starting shorter-work-week companies. I know o

It's an idiom that can imply entirely different meaning depending on its inflection, though, which obviously translates terribly over text. "I'm all ears" said in a positive tone can be "Absolutely I agree, I'd

This is true, and also, when searching the app store the star ratings displayed next to each app are based on the "current version", so if an app is recently released it might say "0 reviews" even though it previously ha

Posting to multiple relevant sites and social networks has helped my blog to grow. That, combined with a mailing list that I send each post to (weekly-ish), helps drive traffic. Some of the mailing list subscribers share it too. I usually s

I felt the opposite actually. To me, the swearing made it more believable -- sure, the guy is leaving a diary, but for all he knows, nobody will ever find it. Being stranded on Mars and facing one's own death seems like the perfect o

Remote whiteboarding is definitely a pain. There are a ton of online whiteboard apps, but it's hard to find a good one (know of any?). Then there's the problem that drawing with a mouse is difficult. It's hard to quickly expr

This quote stuck out: > "People are clean when they first go in, then they get in trouble five years down the road [and] never tell the daycare about this." Interesting that he mentions "daycare," which seems to me li

I think you're right that Rails basically built up the Ruby ecosystem around itself, whereas most of the JS libraries are just riding the wave started by... Node and NPM, I guess? It's much more fragmented. > ...or you're

I took his comment about "very little activity in integrated solutions" to mean "[in the JavaScript world]" but maybe that's not what he meant. I do think that's pretty true of the JS ecosystem though. There ar

Came here to quote this. Personally when I see the phrase "working conditions" I immediately think of hours worked, aka "work/life balance." And from everything I've heard, hours at Silicon Valley companies are

I think his point is sound. His arguments are in line with the ones from Kathy Sierra's book Badass: focus on making your user awesome, instead of telling them how awesome your app is. Or in Rust's case, tell users how great they

Not OP, but I did. It worked out quite well for me. I've paid back the class 7x at this point, a few months after launching my first product. "Well" is all relative, of course. I'm not making enough to quit my job or any
