I agree with your premise, but just as a counterpoint, I'd add that many licensed professionals have a continuing education requirement designed expressly for learning new skills (63 hours per 3 years in my state, for dentists).

Looks nice! Seems like you've thought of all the basics. Easy to miss the drop target though (testing this at a bit past midnight) – seems like it would be easy to make that larger (or just make the whole window a drop target for the C

Some low-cost CDNs allow this, like BelugaCDN and BunnyCDN, probably others, with a web GUI for setup.

Same boat, I will add: - Firebase has tooling for user export now, you can migrate away - Custom JWT token auth means you can build / extend your auth system in the future - Firebase Auth is free and really easily decoupled from the ot

Bunny CDN is a great option if you want to drag and drop or FTP a website update (without a build step). Dirt cheap, and incredibly simple.

I'm flabbergasted that any founder would respond like this. A lot of people who would have given you the benefit of the doubt just got the opposite impression of your company after reading this response.

Since there's so much depth (thickness) in the bezel, you need more margins around the readable content to account for shadows. One solution would be to use a mat board to separate the content from the frame (instead of wasting e-ink s

Honestly you could call this growing pains. You probably won't have this problem at a scale that matters early enough to worry about it now. But, eventually, every B2B SaaS hits a bunch of the same payment & compliance growth block

Thanks for your thoughtful reply! > We do allow users to accept checks and bank transfers Some users can use the check service, but it appears very limited. I've been waiting on the invite list for 1-2 years. In that time I've

The optimist in me wonders if it was simply easier to make an Electron alternative run well on Windows, instead of rebuilding their native apps to meet arbitrary internal goals.

I only have anecdotal answers, but a few of the South Korean and Chinese video-game related deaths were caused by cardiac arrest and dehydration. I always assumed the unspoken part was that the gamers were using some mild stimulants (at lea

We've embarked on a dangerous political experiment and are probably underestimating how many people have been radicalized in the last decade.

I love Stripe, it's amazing. For the 95% use-case it works better than all of the alternatives for payments in North America. But it's the last 5% - 15% that will keep you up at night and/or eat up your time. Accepting paymen

Inflation will not end up being nearly as big of a problem as many have bet. Asset speculation and short bets against the dollar will start to fizzle out (including bitcoin). Potentially another economic shock will push foreign investors ba

This is a ballsy prediction, but exactly the kind I came here for. No point in making conservative predictions when the stakes are so low. (Obligatory "I wish only the best for the president-elect and his family", in case that was

I would have used this in ~2005. Seems like you were just slightly late to market. CS2's built in tool to slice PSD -> HTML kind of sucked and required a lot of post-processing work.

Loved this post, thanks for the detailed write-up. As a solo-SaaS-founder I have a persistent, but very mild anxiety of something like this happening. The attacks we've received have been comparably mild and easy to mitigate. Boggles m

I fully believe this was a DDOS attack. But, this is good advice. If you think you're getting DDOS'd, check for the number of unique IPs against your own user pool. Probably a lot more people introduce bugs into their codebase tha

Such a fun little hack. The killer feature is that you found a way for anyone to create a new short URL without a pull request or any changes to the original repository. Nice work.

I want to say our tiny startup was quoted about $30k? Then they dropped it recently to $199, and now it's free. I'm guessing "hope Google calls asking for a new integration and charge them a million dollars" was the busi
