Writing code to get software builds to work feels like pointless busy work. I feel like something has gone wrong with software development that the task of making software requires so much meta programming.

I want to write application code, I'm not interested in writing build systems

The linked page is not clear on what this actually is. Which AWS service is it the same as?

Kinda weird that there's 141 companies in the batch and only 3 of them listed in "Show HN".

Voicery and Storyline are the two that connect with my interests. I think Voicery does itself a disservice by featuring a "pick the human voice versus pick our machine voice" demo quiz on their website. I got 100%, and it led me

One day in maybe 1987 I was working at a computer company that had a mainframe and was full of greenscreen microcomputers like the Apricot and Sirius 1. One day, I walked into my work area and this new machine was set up and on the screen w

And yet we must still do "things that don't scale" to build up that demand. The real challenge is to work out when your product isn't being snapped up by users not because it CAN'T be awesomely useful and demanded a

If you say you have a beautiful, powerful, fast, full featured application development system then you need to be able to SHOW me, and its gotta knock me out in every possible way. Nothing here at all for Flutter, just words.

Where is that quote from? Is it praise or criticism?

by hoodoof 9y ago
I became quite interested in Flutter recently but it was pretty much impossible to find a range of good demo applications (or any demo applications) that show off what it is capable of so I gave up. LOTS of technical documentation however

What a strange idea. I guess you'd call it 'government as digital pimp'.

It's what comes up when you put jeff@amazon.com into https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/search/ Someone should buy him that Lego - his wallet must be a little light this month until payday.

I'm waiting till he shows significant interest. If that never comes then I'm not going to try to make it happen. Much as I would like to be teaching programming to my kids, if they aren't that interested then such is life.

That's a reasonable counterpoint.

Adult men joining gangs just seems so childish. I remember wanting to be in a gang when I was 15 years old but I grew out of it.

I'd tell him that if he is not comfortable making solid technical decisions then he should delegate that to the next level of seniority down by appointing someone as the "architect". Tell him it does not work at all to have

Government: "We will crack down VERY VERY HARD (to the extent that it doesn't stop the flow of cash pouring into our real estate market)!" Visualize a very very serious and determined politician at a press conference. Governm

Lead from the front, explain patiently, change what you can, don't fret about what you cannot change, don't get into conflict over technical issues - they are not important. Read "The Prince". I have to say though, what

I have wondered why Paul Graham is so adamant that having cofounders are better than single founder, when cofounders seem to be a key reason for startup failure. I would have thought that the preferred option would be single founders.

The question is, what would a high quality online design program be worth to a company with a large user base to feed products into? i.e. what is this company worth as an acquisition to Microsoft/Goog etc

A thing is worth what someone else will give you for it. You're asking for the core mechanism of wealth creation in technology to be dispelled. If enough people, over a credible amount of time, say that a company is increasing in value
