Does software evolve? Do we evolve it? 1. Legacy codebases accumulate not only a ton of "normal" tech debt but larger codebases within larger orgs have the battle scars of a sort of "forced evolution". Bandaids on bandai

I think "heroku-like" is a good generative metaphor. As for the market existing or not I think there are way more variables at play than that previous comment seems to account for and there's so much room in the cloud solutio

Anyone have suggestions for the easiest software to build a 3d environment (like in their demo) and drop in scanned models? Or at least a path to accomplishing this with the lowest barriers to entry?

I totally agree that coding interviews are broken and if I had to guess the process results in a totally underestimated loss in productivity for organizations. Having been on both sides of the interview process I've tried to think thro

Why should Apple care if a small portion of its product lineup will still rely on Intel/AMD? Why shouldn't they put pressure on these chipmakers to defend their position. They have both the vertical integration and scale to push e

I think there's a huge, growing need for this and your sdk/api's seem very well-thought! As for the design of your site, it definitely leaves me assuming it's just an auth service. I'd focus more on showing psuedo e

I've had a Tonal for about a month and it's a super impressive product in many ways. From someone who love great product design: - Very well-designed, distraction-free, non-buggy, snappy UI - For being a 1st gen product it seems S

From my experience working with both Segment and mParticle (and tons of tools they integrate with) this is definitely a need and a great idea! My only advice would be to focus your primary messaging closer to that primary value prop. I can

I have been looking into the viability of putting auth and basic user data in Worker + KV. For auth I'm currently using firebase/google auth and I'm wondering if there's a strategy to authenticate with firebase that woul

I worked with the guy who wrote this repo. He's one of the smartest, nicest, and genuinely curious guys I know. He also ran teams and his leadership style was very humble and encouraging in a workplace that was, at times, the opposite.

I might not be fully understanding your point but I would disagree with the idea that just because many companies have tried to integrate tools together and failed that it must point to some inherent flaw in the idea itself. Instead it shou

This is a huge improvement and the free tier will really help devs better understand how "serverless at the she" can be used!

Thanks for answering! As far as pricing if I'm comparing against, say, Firebase your pricing seems higher for less infrastructure but I understand that Firebase wouldn't be an apples-to-apples comparison given your enterprise-data

8base looks really interesting and I'm glad you're filling a space which the Prisma folks left by reducing focus on graph.cool. One question, is your underlying platform currently (or to be) open source? I ask because it was reass

People keep calling out how this isn't a new solution/idea (i.e. MS Access, FileMaker, SmartSheet, Google Sheets + Scripts, Knack) and those people I hope understand that Airtable's success has everything to do with their exe

This looks AMAZING! I love the UX approach to balancing simplicity and complexity. For instance, giving the granular control over the hyper-parameters in a visual way with immediate feedback is a whole level above any other design I've

Hi dewski! Once again I really appreciate your honest feedback! I find it very valuable! I agree the letter-spacing was too much (sometimes Sketch specs do not translate well into CSS and I think this was a casualty of that!) I also agree t

Thanks so much for the feedback! We are definitely iterating on our messaging and I value this feedback, we know we're not 100% there with the messaging. The primary problem we're addressing is that of "too many apps" ca

This is a perfect illustration of a company which is obviously genuinely thinking through its own process and operations from a set of values and principles. Most companies are going to use off-the-shelf products like Sharepoint and this ty

If someone were to use Prisma Cloud (or self-hosted) would they need to put another server in front of Prisma if they wanted to execute arbitrary code? For instance if I want a certain graphql mutation to first make a call to a 3rd-party ap
