Curious if you worked with smaller companies since your time at Google and how does you experience compare? My personal experience says most mid-sized startups don't do any better on most fronts either. Contrast the process you describ

At least from the website this looks really nice and brings with it some fresh ideas -- kudos on the ship! Tangential: Are you the only developer on this? How long did it take from first line of code to current state? This sees like a monum

Congrats on 1.0! Is it possible to do Redwood development completely on something like Github codespaces or CodeSandbox? Last time I checked (~6 months ago) this didn't play nicely with Docker but curious if things have changed since t

Another benefit of containers is how simple deployments and scaling are with some of the managed services like Google Cloud Run. Reading through the comments, the options used by others for deploying on VMs (Nix, Rsync etc) seem much harder

The neediness of Sales folks is relatable. I worked at a company where Sales thought "@channel" was a person they should ping as often as possible. And no amount of documentation solves this because documentation is useless if it

Google's Jeff and Sanjay are famous for pairing together, and most would think they are fairly competent people. Pairing brings a new perspective to the problem and, for me, the social element is also valuable in that you also build re

Another reason companies can't hire right now is because they like to shoot themselves in the foot with their terrible interview processes. Any < 100 person startup which is doing Leetcode interviews is letting go of so many great c

I wonder how would that work. Typescript has pretty advanced types like Template Literal Types[0]. Wouldn't ReScript need to support all those types? Or maybe it just resorts to `any` equivalent if I can't map a TS type to ReScrip

In my experience with these typed alternatives to JS, as long as you stay within that language things are good and smooth. But as soon as you need to interface with 3rd part lib, that's when things start to get messy. Providing type de
