Open client? It does have a place. For example, a password manager browser extension should be open source regardless if the server/platform is. It's nice to be able to audit something that is running on every website you ever vis

It's really cool to see a search engine alternative. I wonder about the practicality in the wake of large language models? It would seem almost easier to build a model that acts as a search engine than to build a traditional search eng

Of course you can build nice websites like that-- websites have been made nice before the world had SPAs. I have made a number of fully profitable (and pretty nice) websites over the last few years using that stack. I can't point to an

I have tried the pomodoro technique for several months. In the end, I quit. I found the technique was only good for "starting" the work. After that, the technique only got in the way. 1. If you're not a single person (ie, you

I have always used pg_bulkload. It's a bit of pain to compile but the tool is really fast... I love how you can define what to do with constraint conflicts, etc. Recently I used it to bulk import a billion rows and dedupe by a single c

Downtown Portland is a shadow of what it was ~8 years ago. You can't even walk down a street without feeling threatened anymore. Nothing will change unless they increase police presence and allow the police to clean the place up. They

I switch right away. If you're worried about supporting older Go compilers, you could always have build conditions for older versions that define missing things like: // +build !go1.7 type any = interface{}

It may sound like a cop-out, but both? I have no doubt luck was involved. I hit the market at a good time and gained traction quickly. I have done zero marketing and customers come in through word of mouth and via search engines. Surely the

I created a SaaS product (b2b) 7+ years ago. I work on it by myself with no team whatsoever. It generates around a million in profit in every year.

On the other hand, I've had friendships ruined even though they never joined my company. 1. I made a lot of money and company was successful. 2. Friends feel left behind and resentment grows over your lifestyle, etc. 3. Friends stop ta

I have built three SaaS products using this stack. The services are mainly B2B, but one of them has a fairly large B2C-ish user base (recruiting teams). Everything I've built has been profitable and cost of running is very low.

For the last three years I have used only Go with vanilla HTML (templates/html from the standard library), CSS and JS. For a database, I have been using PostgreSQL.
