Can you describe the different shape? What does it turn into? Once live I clean up the FF. But, may introduce new ones as the now-live feature gets tweaked.

I hear that. I want that. But, mostly what I see is that at least once before a vendor shit the bed on a rewrite in $ModernX and then the business play became "nurse it". And, having been through many rewrites myself, I frequently

> What is that? For me it's a web-app tied to a PG database. But I started on SQLite. And it keeps notes, links (tagged), archive-page, put my own notes on it, etc. Many folk use things like Evernote, Pocket, Notion, DokuWiki, etc f

The wonderful thing about Perl is the docs from 2013 are still valid. All the growth/rapid-change/package-management issues that newer ecosystem suffer through Perl did in like the late 90s. 20 year old code still works (mostly).

I make money off "old" systems; I'm spending time with Perl too. Lots of legacy systems out there.

Right, after mashing the companies together one would need to integrate systems - but that costs money! Money that could be used for executive pay - which they "earned" because of the "successful" merger.

For me, I think the big mind-shift was the dot.com explosion/implosion. VC driven growth at all costs ("GaaC"), monetize later. That's when I first saw it. Prior to that what I remember was mostly building a small busine

I've got all of HN in SQLite if anyone else wants to play. You'd wanna hydrate into something better. Share on Torrent maybe? Like 640MiB per year.

On my Chrome/Android I have the default font size larger. And sometimes HN loads with my preference - and others it loads tiny. No rhyme/reason.
