Do you _really_ need a cofounder? Putting someone in your pitch deck who is not 100% committed is going to torpedo getting a term sheet when investors want to meet them.

A words of warning: you can always add enough what if’s to change someone’s opinion eventually, but that’s still not going to bypass their original complaint for everyone else. Fiat is going to enter the picture somewhere, like when you wan

Many time founder here, always in the CTO role. You’re absolutely right, it sucks. It’s near impossible to be good at all those things. In fact, you’re often times expected to run compliance and do sales on top of it all. This is one of the

If you’d enjoy learning a new technology or experimenting with a side project just do it. You don’t need to justify doing something you enjoy, it’ll help prevent you from burning out.

What is philosophy other than applied logic? I welcome people exploring new domains after becoming an expert in one. Often times that’s the impetus they need to find the next cross-cutting innovation.

And before anyone says this is hypothetical: many ISPs have already been caught injecting advertisements, malware and tracking into websites.

I think this, like many cases, was a perfect storm of lack of information, good intentions and individual profit mongering. Medical masks have proven overwhelmingly effective in stopping the spread of airborne diseases like COVID. Knit&#x2F

I can see the sweet spot for community-driven/social journalism: - Get updates between the new cycles. If you can get the scores for the football match in tomorrow’s paper, why even need to see the game? - Get more targeted information

Never mind, it seems like Bitcode has been disabled awhile ago. It’s been a hot minute since I last did mobile dev. The promise of Bitcode was you’d upload an IR artifact and not the final binary (that held every supported platform). The Ap

If I had to guess it is a react native app that hasn’t been optimized for release yet (Bitcode enabled).

The SCP Foundation[1] always gives me fond memories of growing up watching the X-Files and similar shows. Also TV Tropes[2] is fun to learn how derivative or novel aspects of your favorite shows are. 1: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.c

A disturbingly large number of deployments I’ve seen using Kubernetes or docker compose have databases deployed as such.

I suspect that the role might have been closed if they’re doing layoffs and they just replied with a generic rejection.

There’s pretty much no reason not to proxy through multiple international jurisdictions to avoid detection. Each hop raises the cost of investigation and delay by an order of magnitude.

Not even a banner on the domains console for me, you have to go to the support site before you see anything.

We’re stuck living on OpenCensus until the Google cloud go libraries fully make the transition. Annoying, but it works.

I agree with this sentiment but in this case if he’s paying his own salary he’d end up net losing on taxes. If he is going to pay, I’d consider it a loan to the company that will later be paid back with interest to be fair.

I’m considering Google Cloud Domains (watch as that gets announced as moving to Squarespace too in a week) or porkbun. Either way I want to make sure my account gets shut down and nothing gets ported over so I have one less SOC2 vendor to m

Forking, maintaining, marketing and generally all the community aspects of dealing with such a small change is not worth the effort. It’s not the only big 1 indexed language (R, COBOL, Wolfram, Smalltalk, etc.), sometimes as engineers we ju
