Eventually, OpenAI (and friends) are going to be training their models on almost exclusively AI generated content, which is more often than not slightly incorrect when it comes to Q&A, and the quality of AI responses trained on that con

As far as I can tell, the check is to see if a certain program compiles, and if so, disable something. The dot makes it so that it always fails to compile and thus always disables that something.

I've been using Bench for bookkeeping and taxes this year, but I wouldn't recommend them. I feel every time I speak to my team, it's a different person and they all ask the same questions. Their UX and notification system is

You have to purchase it to see the source. After purchasing, you "own" it and can do with it as you see fit (outside of selling/distributing ofc). License: https://once.com/license

If you want to hear if from the horse's mouth, I wrote about it a lot more here [0], when I open sourced my business last year. But if you don't want to read the entire post, here's the tl;dr: 1. My (larger) customers wanted

Is this a new shitcoin? Every time I see blockchain and especially DAO, that's what I think. I'm not saying it is, but these are usually a money-grab by a big-name. So I always approach these projects with much skepticism. How doe

I've been dealing with this ever since the beta. Reviewing PRs on mobile is really, really frustrating. I almost feel like they're trying to push us into their mobile apps a la Reddit.

Why not go with a simple LLC and then elect to be taxed as an S-Corp later when it makes sense?

In my experience, the thing about these communities is that unless it's invite-only, they end up being filled with wantrepreneurs, which drives away the entrepreneurs because of the signal to noise ratio i.r.t. valuable discussion. But

Absolutely agree. I've only had positive interactions since adding my personal email to my profile years ago.

Congrats! I've been following Maybe since the beginning. I think you originally prototyped it in Rails by yourself? On that, I was actually kind of surprised to see a TypeScript app -- I always thought it was Rails. Anyways -- super co

I also noticed this. Glad I wasn't the only one. My searches would randomly use DDG instead of Kagi and I wasn't sure why. Glad to see they rolled out a fix.

I used Quickbooks until it became too much for me to do myself. Now I use Bench, and they do my bookkeeping and taxes.

If I was doing an MVP today, yes, I'd use payment links to start. I wouldn't "send them", but I'd have my "buy" button link to it, and then have a webhook activate the account on successful purchase. But y

I chose Stripe 8 years ago. And I'd probably still use Stripe now. I'd probably use Stripe Payment Links + webhooks if I were starting an MVP today. After the first few customers ask, I'd add a way for them to manage their su

Some of my first OSS work was also based on Vagrant ( https://github.com/ezekg/tj ). I eventually turned that into a commercial desktop app, built on top of that CLI project. Ultimately, the project didn't work out,

You obviously know nothing of the licenses you're discussing. It's so frustrating to see this fallacy repeated over and over. SSPL, ELv2, BUSL, and FSL are all forkable. Most even more so than GPL!
