There's been a concerted effort by smartphone manufacturers to demonize side loading explicitly for some time now. This is actually about code signing rather than sideloading, so it's kind of funny that we have this sub thread tha

This would be an interesting discussion, but I don't think this article, or HN, are the right place. In short, the paper boils down to "sex sells" but wraps it in so much linguistic and semantic psychoanalytic sophistry that

Generally, I don't advocate for code getting thrown over the fence, regardless of the dynamics associated with the particular exchange. So the ideal approach here would be for the CTO to partner with a trusted engineer with some leader

I think me mentioning a list of responsibilities sort of derailed the conversation a little bit. It's not about them avoiding what they enjoy. It's about empowering and scaling a human organization to take on larger and larger sco

Possibly unpopular, but this is an interesting topic, so I'll post my counterpoint. The question is: what are you not doing that is in the list of CTO responsibilities because you're coding? One of the reasons stated why you do t

Yeah, they seem pretty clueless. Right now they're doing the classic 302 back to Hacker News when you visit with an HN referrer. So they appear to have this extremely unnuanced approach to wielding power where they just block people wi

It would also include the situation where there was a bare metal server you installed your own operating system on it and then wrote your own software and then deployed it to that server. The argument being made is that's not self-host

I didn't realize, but apparently this is a long-standing argument. I did just a tiny bit of digging because I'm sort of into self-hosting and I ran across the selfhosted Reddit's wiki on the topic. https://www.redd

I've written this above and it's a point I don't see very many people make in this discussion, but you're locking yourself into an ecosystem that has a monopoly on hosting as a service. That damages you as a customer bec

It puts you in bed with a community where you're too locked in. If there's only one provider that's allowed to sell an online SaaS-based version of the software, then if they do a poor job of hosting it, or don't host it
