Quick question on that. Ive been a long time 20+ yr PHP user and very happy with that. I've always used MySQL, especially on shared host. Never had a problem with that either. Any reason not to use MySQL? Is it because you're usin

Is there any way to see any consolidated writings by Pieter? Sorting through over 88.5k tweets to uncover a few tidbits seems tedious. This is the problem with Twitter as a documentation method.

I tip my virtual hat to you on that. I need to somehow aggregate all those tweets into topics / chapters so I can dive deep in each area. Has anyone curated those tweets into something that can be read in a single go? If not I might ha

What is the agenda pushing here? This is clearly not a push for change in the actual financial services or banking sector. Is there an attempt to shift power away from "traditional" banks to "untraditional" financial ser

I have not found much that can provide useful advice. And indeed, lots of conflicting advice. I wish those who were more successful at SEO could share what the top 3-4 things that really need to be done to turn SEO into actual conversions a

Can you share insights into how you are using Twitter? How is the revenue per follower a relevant and useful metric?

So much of what we rely on today for Internet applications and infrastructure has at its core a fallacious advertising revenue model. As companies who spend money on advertising realize the low returns they are getting, they will turn off t

Pitching your company to be acquired by the next corp is in itself a form of sadness. While exits are great when they have great outcomes, 9 times out of 10 (maybe more), these acquisitions end up providing less benefit for the founders tha

The better you are at strategic deception, the easier it is to smell out others who are deceiving. Is it a lie? Is it an exaggeration? Is it a forward-looking prediction? Is it just a fabrication? Does it matter? When you're in the ro

Looks cool and useful. One note: "ROAPI is made up of 4K lines of Rust. This line count is low due to the intense use of 3rd party libraries." This actually seems like a high line count, and that's not counting all the 3rd pa

Combined with the demographic changes, Texas is sure to go blue. However, the blue party doesn't really seem to be a homogeneous philosophy. Same with the red party. Maybe we'll finally see a challenge from a credible third party

Because the customers know that "free" has a cost. That's the reason for this site's creation -- because if you're not the customer, you're the product. Free isn't the alternative that it might seem to be.
