>In effect, we are shifting complexity from end-developers to library developers. This places a huge burden on us to be experts with how typescript works. Interesting, I had never thought of this tension, but I think I disagree with the

The idea behind DIDs and VCs (verifiable credentials, that go along with did's to prove claims about an entity) is fantastic. Decentralize and normalize global IDs! Have ways to express data about them that contains the proof of owners

Why the hell would I pay for their employee salaries if the service hasn't changed? They likely hired people to pay for features I don't use, and gave executive bonuses. As I said, I'm happy for them to make more money, but i

My complaint is 20% increase with no added value. Why do you look at the absolute cost rather than the relative? Competition looks better (like fly.io). I think the company is stale and greedy, otherwise prices wouldn't be going up.

I've been using them for 6 years with their 5$/month droplet. I am going to be upgraded to 6$ month droplet and forced into 5GB extra SSD space which I don't want or need. Honestly this doesn't make sense, the price of h

In my experience, attitude trumps IQ in pretty much all situations. Most humans are average in what they do. Potential doesn't matter, only reality does. Focusing on potential is what arrogant people that are lazy like to do, but mostl

I think this experience can be significantly improved by using the w3c distributed identity[1] + verifiable credentials[2] mechanisms. These are quite young but in my opinion are the identity layer that the web never had and let us to all o

I love simplicity. the reasons you provide for using it are really strong, and I think it's a much superior option to prototyping leveraging oauth 3rd parties (which has tons of downsides). It would be good to have a hard rule as to wh

I always interpreted it as something you summon in hardship. In those moments pride can be a savior (think depression, or recovering from a hard injury). I agree that depending on the context, it can be interpreted differently, and I also a

There's a lot of talk about decentralization these days. Decentralize this, and that, and a lot of it is silly and excessive. Example: centralizing twitter seems so far to be good for twitter (they're doing very well, much better
