   For my personal websites, I only ever tried wordpress around 10 years ago before I built my own from scratch. https://idiallo.com What I find interesting is that a swat of new developers thinks that the only options are: 1. free

   I remember in the early days of phone apps, you'd find thousands of different apps that try to solve a trivial problem. It inspired me to make this video: The alarm clock problem https://youtu.be/ebQAM5ADfYQ

   One book is missing. I've read most of these books and the one that helped me most as a startup founder is Disrupted by Dan Lyons. Comedy aside it was a true eye opener. In the startup silicon echo chamber, you hear the same things o

   But there is a reason people seek advice: writing is hard. I've always wanted to write, and I sought the help of some pretty good writers. They gave me great advice. But no amount of advice can be applied to a blank page. So I wrote, p

    Thank you for catching that. Let's blame it on the guy that is not too versed in sed[1] but still used it to find and replace a pattern and it all went wrong. [1]: https://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/x23170

    This should not be a problem anymore. My pull request has just been merged. There is a sample credential file to be renamed to credentials.json, this file is now in gitignore.

    I got excited and almost learned Spanish, Japanese, German, then I realized I was simply addicted [1]. The good part is that at least it gave me the confidence to speak to people in different languages thinking I made sense, even though I d

    There is another thing Neistat likes to portray in his video that I think makes him even more popular: The illusion of amateur. His videos seems like they can be shot by anyone. But try skateboarding in the middle of a busy New York street

    We talked a lot about how many founders that somewhat found success, try to be Gavins or Russ Hannemans. But the show doesn't portray these people as the visionaries they think they are. In fact it makes fun of them.

    A few months ago I wrote a certain story here and to my surprise I received a call from Dan Lyons, one of the writers of the show. We had long discussions about silicon valley and his new book coming out (I'm featured in it). A few wee

    I really want to move away from Google Analytics. But I have not found a viable alternative so far. I had settled for Piwik (Now Matomo) but I had to disable it when the server it was hosted on crashed when I received a burst of traffic. GA

    I don't work at YouTube, but it is highly unlikely that they have a Brexit department or a divisiveness department. What they have is machine learning. The goal of their Algorithm is to maximize for watch time. Any behavior that leads

    I have been working on .Net c# this past 2 years, coming from PHP. The hardest thing for me was to remember to close my database connections. Of course when you don't close one connection, your app doesn't break, it simply consume

    This is a nice write up. My only concern is that these days we think that the alternative to free is $40 to hundreds of dollars a months for something decent. In the days of shared hosting, you could drop $3 to $5 to host your small website

    I once read a comment here on HN about SEO, and someone was suggesting to start by buying a domain name that is your first and last name. I thought it was cool, but didn't see how it could improve SEO. But I bought it anyway[1]. I had
