“you should absolutely have understood that this was a bad promise” Absolutely wild to me that you talk to peers like children. Nobody owes you anything. It’s all best effort.

Thank you!! Yes we use Cronitor extensively ourselves (dogfooding!) and it’s saved us many many times. If you have any product feedback please let me know: shane@cronitor.io

You are right but this is a fairly new development, driven by activist lawsuits. It doesn’t have to be this way, these sort of changes are not irreversible.

It’s equally crazy to me that we are spending time and money to eliminate opportunities for our kids. My school district in SFBA has done the same thing to their gifted program. If this is really about equality then we would be strengthenin

Does a 2 person SaaS count? We launched Cronitor.io here on HN over 11 years ago and we’re thriving. The first 6 years were part time, nights and weekends, while we both had kids and full time jobs. In 2020 we quit our jobs (and took a huge

99% of apps never need to shard data. Probably closer to 99.9% if they are single tenant.

Yes, and if you want to claim otherwise you should bring some specifics.

We built this using cursor and Claude code earlier this spring and we had a lot of fun bringing this to life.

Thank you! I never considered it a relative measurement.

I tried my best to update several of my family recipes. A common measure in many of them was “an egg” e.g. “an egg of butter, cold”. This is meant to be an egg-sized quantity of butter, but what was a normal sized egg in 1905?

All else being equal, a house is too personal a thing for me to rent. It would be like renting a complete set of clothes. I don’t want to be a real estate developer writ large, but I do want to develop my own space and optimize it for my fa

I cant trust a living, eating human to pick ripe produce on instacart. It will take an awful lot for me to trust an AI with an airline ticket.

What a wild ride we have taken with computing over the last 40 years. I’m 43 and my first computer looked even older than this - one color display, dual floppy disks and no hard drive. Now we have AI deploy to gigaclouds and monitor it with

How this impacted our business is that when you are doing next year planning, and the goal is to grow the business, it made ads and other marketing investments more appealing versus tech hiring to expand product capabilities.

My 7 year old got into rober videos about a year ago. Really hope she always prefers this kind of stuff to junk food like Mr Beast.

Oh cool — no I didn’t know. Loved Red October - it somehow seemed to be faster paced than the movie was, which seems rare.

One nice thing about SaaS is that the “aaS” part is just as important as the “S”.

by encoderer 1y ago
That part rings true, if slightly hyperbolic. It’s like opening a restaurant that only serves other chefs. Not easy!

by encoderer 1y ago
There is some truth here but I find this take to be overly cynical. I built Cronitor in 2014 not because I liked making dev tools or was even particularly good at it, but because in my day job at Zillow my team had a lot of problems with si

You read the book? I’m curious how all of the operational details and jargon held up to a real sailor.

Do they not just steal our IP and then industrialize it better than us, partly because of their current demographics (which are rapidly changing), partly because of lax environmental standards, and partly because they need economic growth t

Extremely processed. Only choice is to buy it directly from a factory. I would like my kids to have real food options. The only way I can do that is to pack their lunch most days. They’re young so that works for now, but they will probabl

We spend about $22,000 a year per student in California. A lot of it is wasted on well meaning but ineffective policy. I think we can afford real meat.

I hope this includes fake meat.

6x arr is not a generous multiple for this size of business.
