I did advent of code this year in rust (not finished yet, but such is christmas). I found it quite a good way to quickly get a "functional" appreciation for the language. I would preface that by saying that you should read the fir

Love it. Pre-ordered one, though sounds like the next batch will only be ready in March :(

That's the distinction between an MVP and a Prototype. While it can be useful to put together a hack and slash version, it needs to be marketed as such. Shameless plug, but I wrote about this exact thing: https://www.machow.

Having tried to launch a blog myself I definitely think you are correct that self hosting makes things hard. Getting exposure is quite difficult, and getting to eg. HN front page or similar is basically your only way of achieving growth, an

If you intend to work with anything front end or node related the 100% yes. I was skeptical at first, but would say I am fully converted. The tipping point for me was when I tried to implement an order book (finance data structure) in types

I'm guessing something like this must exist already, though perhaps not in an academic way like you suggest!

Thanks, that's much appreciated!

I've done side projects before, but I feel like I don't have a knack for business. I decided to try and start writing after it was suggested to me many times. I work in the finance/crypto space, so decided to try and write so

Off topic question to those who are the buyers of these "small websites". What exactly is the idea here? Do you buy it up for the domain, or for the underlying business/cash flow? I've heard of this many times but have y

Definitely interesting phenomenon, I wasn't aware it had a name. The closest thing to this for me was when I played factorio for a week. I feel like if you are a programmer that game will resonate with you heavily, making it possibly a

Yes I agree the touch controls are rubbish, and I ended up turning them off. I see where they were going with it, but it's just too unreliable.

Given the response, I probably should have clarified that this was meant more for camping not hiking per se. I wouldn't use it walking an actual trail with other hikers as that would be rude (and also what the headphones are for anyway

Yes of course I'm not implying it's a panacea. However from my experience getting product market fit is one of the hardest parts of the whole process, and having a ready made audience relevant to your topic is a very nice head sta

This is extremely true. I've read many blog posts about how someone started a side project and bootstrapped it to 10k mrr etc. Invariably when you read closer it goes something like this: "So I had this widely successful blog abou

I've done django. Can't say I've done nuxt, though I have done vue before. I think your design skills are great! I've always been a backend guy and that's the part I've found really hard.

Looks really good! Did you do both the backend and the front end yourself?

Order books will almost always be single threaded or something similar. Only one order action is allowed at a time in each book, otherwise it would be chaos. Exchanges are very strict on "fairness" since if there is a (legal) edge

That's very interesting! I myself have not worked as a MM before so I don't know much about it. I can imagine it is possible since these days there is a lot of cross pollination between traditional finance and crypto. Most exchang

I wish I could take credit, but it's actually a theme for Hugo called Cactus ( https://github.com/monkeyWzr/Hugo-theme-cactus ). I made some modifications to it however.

Really detailed explanation! This is essentially it. While there's obviously a bunch more complexity, the essence of market making is just trying not to own a stock, but just buy and sell immediately. Think about how when you go on hol

As mentioned, it's when you must make sure that you have perfect precision. Money and counting items is one such example. If I am a bank and get audited, if I have a transaction that has kept rounding up, and creating eg. 1 cent every
