Gitless folks did some actual user research years ago, getting feedbacks on various tasks difficulty, and they have a nice theory of api misfit, I really recommend the read for more structured speculation of why git is hard: https:/&#

thank you very much for the comments jaggs, it's really encouraging and help me keep going! Indeed, there is a lot to be done, gamification is a great idea, at this point I haven't even setup email sending yet, I'm trying to

done! Took a while but I added email sign up now :)

yeah... the first version I built actually had no sign in, but users would just try it once and go away, no way to save their images or publish it, but also, being totally open make it harder to throttle or block bots I really wanted to be

thanks! yeah, I didn't want to deal with all account management shaneningans yet (I'm planning to add sign in with apple next if that helps anyhow)

One point I struggle with is when to write a decision record. There are many decisions that go through without us even realizing it was a decision, sometimes it was just a reply to a comment, or something said on a meeting, which you put on

I really like the premise, and I really agree with it, but I don't think a SaaS is a solution, the solution is trying to find better abstractions that makes things simple and easier for the developers, using code, and without limiting

This article provides nothing new to me, my current company has it all and I don’t like Does anyone here actually feel personal goal setting as beneficial anyhow?

Good old times, in Tibia ~2007 you actually feared for your life, as you could lose weeks of work when you died, and most servers where pvp enforced Talking to the NPCs at the store was also very interesting, you actually had to talk, using

apparently I’ve been doing a lot of HDA, by just placing inline javascript on my html pages, specially where first time to render is essential and interaction not so heavy I thought it was just laziness from my side of not wanting to set up

Jira, for sure, and it seems hard to run away from, almost everyone use it It seems like the only alternative is to fund my own startup, with me as a sole shareholder, just to forbid Jira forever

actually you just gave me an idea where can I apply TLA+ in my job right now, we were thinking hard of many kafka streams and retry mechanisms we need to use, and still guarantee order without being blocking, and I think TLA+ is the perfect

by rchaves 5y ago
I think the use of TLA+ is very niche, just to prove that some really lower level algorithms for distributed systems work well, I think crypto might be a good use case like you mentioned, but I guess most companies wouldn’t benefit from it

no it would be online, not the pages you visit but the ones you bookmark, I’m thinking of building a browser extension that watch your bookmarks and sends the links to be scrapped and indexed

by rchaves 5y ago
Oh I’ve been building one! But mine is truly different™, basically I gave up the idea of organizing bookmarks, in favor of searching them instead, building your personal search engine In fact I’ve been blogging about it as I build it https

I really dislike the idea o Soylent or any kind of tube food, but also even frozen meals, fast food and up to a point food delivery I think all that just pushes people away from their connection with food, the best way for people to eating

I find Albert Heijn here in Amsterdam to be super efficient. They do have some packs of pre-selected ingredients so you can just pick and cook at home, but also they have a very efficient self-checkout so no time wasted in lines, and since

by rchaves 5y ago
This is the classic “what you really hate is capitalism” Why wanting so much efficiency? Redirect that productive developer energy, find food you really love or find challenging on learning how to cook it, and enjoy the slow cooking and eat

Potatoes are healthy, so I’m guessing just January is not enough for you to see the mess in your body from eating only potatoes. Moreover each person is different, it doesn’t make sense for you to be skeptical from nutrition based on an ane

Yes it had been getting worse, but I think there is a limit to “find relevant results” anyway, Google is good for objective answers, but for more complex stuff, there is an more and more answers, the web nowadays is overwhelming At some poi

Yes, I do also feel very frustrated when I have to stop working on something before it is finished, specially if it's that long debugging session and you have all in your head, but you just have to stop and go do something else. Talkin
