I'm the author of the post. I understand where you're coming from, but you're missing the nuance I mentioned in the article. First, many "B2B" products are widely used by individual consumers for personal projects.

Everything said here about LinkedIn is also true on X.com (Twitter). As Elon posted in 2023: > "Our algorithm tries to optimize time spent on X, so links don’t get as much attention, because there is less time spent if people click

The backstory of that podcast is fascinating: https://transistor.fm/customers/acquired/ Ben and David started the show in 2015 and initially focused on tech acquisitions, but now they've expanded the purview

Congrats on hitting 10 years! Most startups don’t make it that long.

Yes!! Tracking momentum is so much more encouraging. I just started working out and stretching again this morning (after weeks of travel and not exercising), and it was nice to feel like I'm just "picking up momentum again."

If you’re the owner of a small software company, there’s a group of us that have been petitioning congress. You can sign the letter and send it to your representative here: https://ssballiance.org/

I often say this to my teenagers: "You don't get any credit for the homework you thought about handing in. Even if it's not perfect, the only way to get a mark is if you hand it in." So true for work and side-projects

I don't think small software companies in the US realize how much this is going to cost them. Some folks are seeing an increase in taxable income of 466%: https://twitter.com/LandonB32/status/16360266278879641

This is well done! I can see that you've done your research: you've synthesized so much of the written material on MySQL (books, docs) in each lesson. Makes learning these concepts really accessible.

I would still choose Rails or Laravel. When we were building the MVP for Transistor.fm, we chose Rails because it's what my co-founder knew the best. These old-school web frameworks are mature, and still have a big ecosystem (community

I don’t think “learning to play the guitar” and “becoming a successful entrepreneur” are equivalent. Statistically, entrepreneurship has a high failure rate because it’s incredibly demanding, and the path to success isn’t linear.

I decided to try it out (I recorded my initial impressions here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdmB0JnNF3s ). The software itself is pretty slick. Currently we're using Crisp Chat's help docs for our SaaS, as wel

Iterating on the tech in P2P networks (outside of web3) still feels like it’s attainable. Feels like a lot of the innovation stopped when Pirate Bay was repeatedly targeted, but there’s still lots possible in that space (outside of torrenti

This is definitely in the same spirit. What’s missing is a truly decentralized portal for discovering that content. ;)

The problem with web3 is that the projects still rely on centralized indexes/distribution (OpenSea, Rarible, etc) for discoverability. "We have had decentralised ownership and distribution of our own content since the early 90s. I

The difference with torrent trackers is their index is public and can be mirrored. Torrent sites like 1337x were born out of previously popular indexes (Kickass Torrents, h33t). [0] It's not dissimilar to when a GitHub fork becomes mor

Ask HN: What are some examples of “decentralized discoverability?”

Exactly this. This is a cultural issue, more than anything else. Countries like Japan have taken a profoundly different approach to urban development, and have more mixed-use zones (single-family, multi-family, high-rise, etc). https:&#x2F

Great post! I often say that most of my career advancements came from knowing the right people (or having the right people know me). Many of the people that helped me advance found me through something I made (blog post, tutorial, podcast,
