Wait so we're using READMEs as a file system now?

This would've been immensely helpful a few months ago when I was writing a private OCI registry, which included parsing the OCI image layout. The registry I wrote supports custom media types like OP discusses, but prefers OCI/Dock

Yep, it seems like most founders I've met feel this way -- at least at some point in their journey -- but nobody wants to talk about it because of it. I think this quote [0] from a similar post by Scott Hanselman really nails it: >

This is interesting, and I think I agree. I tend to view those who self-promote too often as either arrogant or compensating for lack of ability; but if you don't self-promote at all, e.g. in the 'good' way via marketing, I s

If you're really a solopreneur, stop caring about fads and start caring about profitability. You don't need to learn fancy new tools to earn money online -- you need to use boring tools and keep moving forward. Keep loose tabs on

Author here. I think it's a combination of things. Node came onto the scene, and the hype hasn't really let up yet. In addition, ZIRP made hiring cheap, and JS was ubiquitous -- bootcamps pushed it, marketing and trends pushed it.

Build a game or two on the side. I'm still not where I want to be i.r.t. math, but building a game in Unity, and another in Bevy, has helped me hit hard problems that have to be solved using math I don't know, which helps push me

As a solo founder, I don't think I could have the same velocity without Rails. I can ship features and fixes with less code and in less time than any other framework I've tried. I think the only other competitor to Rails for small

It's a hypothetical, and it has literally never happened. If they're ready to buy, they'll buy. If they need a quick call, ofc I can jump on at that point, but it really depends on what the call is about -- e.g. if they want

I disagree. B2C requires too much volume, both in terms of sales and support, because the price has to be so low imo. You either have to find PMF or you're going to die.

I thought so, too, and I had imposter syndrome for a long, long time. But I wouldn't call myself a bad salesman, seeing as I sell to enterprises regularly (just sold a $30k/yr contract yesterday). I'm a bit unconventional in

This feels unfair if it's implying I'm lying for still taking a 15m discovery call. #nocalls is about skipping the dance, not all communication. You can go to extremes, like I did, or adapt it to what works for you. I will say tha
