Remix, like other such attempts, will need to get into the hosting business. Give out a good framework to ensure lock-in, then sell the infrastructure/runtime to deliver the app built on your framework. Then sell add-ons like $5/m

Raising $3M from VCs for an unreleased library can do that to a project.

You can continue that line of reasoning: there is surely an equally competent and hard working engineer in some large company, or Europe, that for the same 4 years got $0 extra on top of inflationary increases. You got $6M - how much should

Sounds like you have the experience and the writing skills to describe the (real) struggle for 98% of Seed founders. I’d encourage you to write about it, even if anonymously.

Bundling will not go away as it solves a different problem of how to best distribute the app to final users. When authoring code, you want to have many small files so you can keep related logic blocks isolated from the rest. When distributi

This is refreshing to hear. So many similar infotainment channels seem enlightening, but as soon as they cover topics or regions of the world I'm deeply familiar with, I get disillusioned by misrepresentations. So often, it's no

I run a multi-tenant SaaS where every tenant can define custom properties on every entity. PG allows us to dump everything into a single jsonb column, and still have superb performance for filtering / analytics / searching etc. Th

Yep, and in your own code you can tell TS to verify your property access with the setting `noPropertyAccessFromIndexSignature` ( https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/announcing-typescr... ) The TS crew did discuss h

You make a good point that hints at another often-undefined assumption in these discussions - 10X performance vs who, exactly ? IMO, it should be vs "a typical peer in that profession". For court reporters, if "a typical pee

There is no "10X" touch-typist because a) the performance limit is absolute & relatively low and b) the learning curve is such that it's easy to get to the limit and plateau. Now let's increase complexity - still typ

I'm not mixing - as I wrote, many more are not famous, but their impact is similar. When discussing abstract concepts, it helps to have concrete examples of that phenomena. Using "famous" people is a shortcut to define a sha

My go-to examples of 10x developers are benevolent dictators like antirez (of Redis), evanw (of esbuild + Figma CTO), youyuxi (of Vue), Carmack, etc. Both qualitatively and quantitatively, their output is at least 10x of a typical develop

True, true - I've heard the same concern elsewhere. My 2FA accounts work fine (with other services, not Google), but this could be more by luck than design. However, overall I still trust Twilio more than anyone to keep their numbers &

You're directionally correct, but the threshold is lower. In the US, banks will give you a low-interest loan for up to 50% of your holdings with them (public equities, etc.), starting at $300k. Having $600k+ in liquid investments is un

Absolutely! It's a humorous take but still presents an excellent way to frame the situation through the lens of perverse incentives of board members of a private company in a smoke-and-mirrors industry such as media.

Counter-intuitively, the board is fulfilling the duty of loyalty by protecting the business. Matt Levine puts it well [1] - What if this had worked? What if Goldman hadn’t noticed anything unusual and had coughed up the $40 million? W

Alice will not be logged in into the server. Tailscale allows Alice to merely connect to the IP/port, but whatever service is listening on that port still behaves as usual. So if you have an HTTP service that requires Basic auth, tha

Currently "Image Resizing" requires the Business plan or higher, so this strategy will not work for most hobbyist. Seems like enrolling into "Cloudflare Images" does not give a way to use this feature from Workers.

It's a signal from the market ("employer") that what you currently offer is not what they currently value. If you desire greater rewards/ recognition, you need to discover what they value and decide if you want to offer
