Counterpoint: I've been a paying customer of Plausible for ~2 years, and this is totally fine. $1M ARR with an 8 person team is by no means "doing great". Assuming 20% of income goes to overheads (such as hosting, marketing,

We use TestContainers for this, and it's superb. It's a full instance of the DB, started for each unit test, running inside a docker container. TC does smart things to make sure it doesn't slow the suite too much. we have the

Slightly OT, but sincere thanks from me to you for creating Lombok. It's a tool that sparks strong opinions, which is a testament to its significance and the impact it has made. You've created something that people are passionate

I was curious, given the feedback on this page, so I ran the lighthouse test: Performance: 81 / Accesssibility: 93 / Best Practices: 96 / SEO: 100 Performance is on the lower side, but the others are all tracking pretty well!

Nice work! This addresses many of the issues I've had with SSE. Another problem we've never worked out the solution to, is how to send a termination - signalling "there are no more events coming". We always end up having

Is this real? The "Click on the Laptop", along with the rickroll suggests that this is a gimmick. The only other thing is to log in, with an email address. Given how questionable the site seems, I bailed.

I'm struggling to see the distinction here. Sure, Podcast ≠ Spotify, just as Git ≠ Github. But people choose to distribute their code on Github for exactly the same reason the people choose to distribute their podcasts on Spotify - rea

You may be right, Zealot may not be the right word here. But after reading that article, I was definitely left feeling judged because I choose to do exactly the things he's talking about, for exactly the reasons he's suggesting. M

Wow - that article was a tough read. I like a LOT of what Drew has to say, but this seems over the top. He claims that authors promoting their open source software on channels like Twitter, Hacker news, LinkedIn or even Github is "self

The Wilhelm Scream is a sound effect of a man screaming from the 1950's, that has become an in-joke for sound designers. It's appeared in every Star Wars and Indianna Jones movie, along with countless others. Really cool 4-minute

I went hunting on DanHulton.com for some more gold. I was fascinated by the "I Paid The Most" site, and was disappointed it wasn't a real thing (anymore). @DanHulton - tell us all the tale.

I read somewhere that "fake" stars get pruned pretty quickly. Regardless, imperfect as it is, a GH project with 20k stars feels more credible than one with 200. (I write this as someone who works full time on a GH repo with 200 st
