   Thank you! I used the key words "Doodle of X. Black and white using ink." Sometimes removing the "ink" part helps. And make sure X is not too detailed.

   These are just a simpler abstraction, even though similar to the others. They enable a bunch of other use cases we'll implement on top. We believe layers (in the way we envisioned them) to be the ideal abstraction.

   Yes, it does. It’ll work with anything you can write a Terraform file for. In the case of Kubernetes, for example, you can use the Kubernetes provider or even just Helm to deploy your pods. Great idea to add ECS/Serverless specific exa

   Indeed, we've seen that happening very often. I lost count of how many times I've seen developers have a Slack or Discord channel to coordinate who's gonna using staging/dev and when. Please let me know if you need any h

   Thanks! We really appreciate the in-depth feedback. Indeed, we've seem many people building similar alternatives using in-house solutions on top of Kubernetes. In fact, that's the main barrier to adoption we've found so far.

   Thanks for flagging it. I use the light mode myself so I hadn’t noticed it. I’ll go ahead and update the text color for the dark theme versions.

   Yes, we used Excalidraw for creating the diagrams in the README and Stable Diffusion to generate the "stickers".

   Thanks! As one of the co-founders, I really appreciate that you think it could solve your problem. Looking forward to seeing how you'll use it. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if we can help in any way.

   Thanks Charles! I'm just using Stable Diffusion really — with a very specific prompt though.

    Hi, everyone, Yesterday, HashiCorp switched Terraform's license from MPL to BSL. In short, that makes them a "source available" company, not a truly "open source company". The problem with this change is that the BS

    It’s really interesting when someone takes contributions under the MPL license for years only to relicense later under a restrictive license. IMO they should just avoid open-sourcing the cloud platform if they want to sell it. Also, why not

    I think one argument that’s missing from the article is how that impacts foreign policies. What about competing with foreign giants, for example? China probably won’t break up their large companies, and, in a global market, those can then u

    Bram was really important for me. I remember the joy of learning how to use vim and how easy it was to bond with other fellow users. Who would imagine a text editor could instill such a strong sense of identity into its users? The first tim

    I'd say it's pretty much standard. Copyright is a form of IP and thus companies usually require you to assign it to them. It'll probably come up in every future due dilligence. I don't know whether it's enforceable,

    Congratulations Zeno! What an awesome launch, really excited for you and the team at Resend. Once we go for an email provider here, Resend will definitely be the first option.

    Congrats on the launch! The landing page looks pretty great and it's definitely a real problem. I've struggled to automate my house with a myriad of devices. Wish you all the best in your endeavour!

    Definitely true. That's something my co-founder talks a lot about. If you just stick at it for a few months, projects get huge. It's incredible how much code gets written when you look 6-months back. If you had to look forward and

    I wonder whether there's a correlation between how much people care about somewhat small issues and the quality of Rust. Although I think this saga is a bit too dramatic, maybe that's why Rust is such a great language: people care

    Thanks for pointing that out. Although I do think DORA metrics make some sense, it seems like an unnecessary framework considering what the folks in queueing theory have done over the years. Anyone claiming we need to invent our own metrics

    As a note, this is slightly incorrect: > The Indian model is inspiring others. Brazil’s Pix, which facilitates bank-to-bank payments with a small fee, was launched in November 2020. It now accounts for some 30% of Brazil’s electronic pay

    It's a great write-up indeed. It's just unfortunate that anything that requires people to do more than "switch a toggle" on Nginx configs will probably not see huge adoption without significant advocacy effort. The truth

    It looks absolutely awesome. Congratulations on the launch. This is exactly the kind of thing I'd like to play with. Also, I find the actual BB keyboard better to type code in as I can get some tactile feedback (swipe is too imprecise

    I think it's not that bad for this to be the default. To be honest, people should've never used `.dev` for testing in the first place, given that IANA has reserved the `.test` domain specifically for that. By making HTTPS the defa

    As someone who currently resides in Brazil, it's mind boggling to see how little the average Brazilian cares about sustainability. I guess we've just got too much "nature" around here, and the effects of global warming a

    I'd be curious to hear about how you've got your first customers. Would you be willing to share that? I can't think of a top-down approach working for technical folks, especially cold outreach.

    I wonder why would they undertake such an Herculean task when they could simply pick a non-GPL OS, or just pick Linux itself given the programs running in it wouldn't have to be open-sourced anyway.

    I’d agree with you that a sabbatical would be ideal. However, I’d say it’d be interesting if you make it a somewhat “active” sabbatical. In your place, I’d read, exercise, or just dig deeper into something I’m interested in. Personally, whe
