I'm not really upset about this. I developed an MVP for a product. Not an entirely new idea, but a slightly new twist on the models of the existing competition. About a year later, there was a well-funded competitor doing exactly the s

I think building a YouTube audience is more about directing users to the things that make you money rather than the ad revenue itself. That might be Amazon affiliate links, referrals, your own products or courses, etc. Marc Lou is a good so

Isn't data inserted into basically a normal Postgres table with hypertable extensions? I don't know the details of Timescale but that sounds like it would incur a cost of a normal Postgres insert, plus potentially extra work at in

It's exhausting having different apps. I use SMS for talking to friends in the US. I use WhatsApp for talking to most international people. I use Telegram to talk to Australians. I use Line to talk to some people in Asia.

That's not really the domain of feature flags in their typical use case. That sounds like you would need to deploy multiple versions of the app and switch between them at the load balancer level or something like that.

I started a project that turned into a mulitibillion dollar source of revenue for the company I worked at. I was just an engineer at the company so I didn't get rich or anything but I would say that was pretty useful. I started another

I love Google Photos but I hate that there isn't a good way to make an easy backup. Your photos used to be a folder in Google Drive that you could sync to a local NAS but that option is gone now.

In a lot of ways, tech is just another business industry now. It's not the cool frontier it used to be.

You want more than a boolean flag. You want to be able to enable features for certain customers. For example, you might want to roll out a feature to only the US or only English speaking users because you haven't internationalized it y

100%. It's also awful inside a big corporation. Imagine waiting weeks or months to get a new package approved.

Not forking. There are systems for internal dependency management. You can have an internal npm or maven or whatever with only approved packages and versions.

For #4, maybe you can build a single instance API proxy that handles the rate limiting better.

To your first point, I think you have to start valuing your time when analyzing the cost. If you have a small growing SaaS, is spending $100-200/mo for hosting really a big deal? Think about the cost of your time. I will gladly pay tha

I don't know about Vercel explicitly, but enterprise plans are usually more than just larger quotas. You get access to solutions engineers that will help you solve problems. You get higher uptime guarantees. You get SLAs like 24 or 48

I've run / worked on two 7-8 figure early stage products on a handful of Heroku dynos, a medium sized Postgres, and RabbitMQ + workers for background stuff. Also cron jobs, ElasticSearch, and a few other things. You can get pretty

That is true. So you need to continually audit those dependencies as well and upgrade them when security requires it.

Developers like being involved in decision making processes. Probably more than they should be. Definitely a lot more than non-technical people think they should be. Bring a couple of your senior developers, tech leads, or eng managers int

You can use dependencies. You just need to cache them internally, review them meticulously, and never upgrade them without going through the review process again. It's a huge pain but some companies do it.

I see a decent amount of software engineers, designers, product managers, etc buying $500k+ homes somewhere between 25-30.

I'm a bit confused by this question because it seems like the only people in my area who can afford to buy houses are software engineers, or at least work in tech.

Those and things like Heroku, Render, etc. I remember spending months trying to get Google Cloud to increase a quota while I was forced to turn sign ups off in my product while I waited. I also remember asking Digital Ocean to increase my d
