I don't find it necessarily odd that one of the early users is from the same city as the company that created the app. Sometimes, when I've worked on a small tool I want to share with others, I've found that telling people ab

Wouldn't that be problematic if you're binding lots of handlers, though? It seems like the fat arrow syntax here is creating a new anonymous function for every instance of the handler. And if you've got a list of tens or hund

Thanks for the reply.GitLab's community outreach is certainly on point! I haven't gone through that document yet, but I'll take a look.

Perhaps it's just because GitHub came first? The market segment of web hosted Git repositories was a relatively new and small market segment when GitHub got started back in 2008. GitLab didn't appear until 2011, and at the time it

I think there's a good chance that's the answer. All they need to do is take every e-mail address that's not @ gmail/hotmail/outlook.com/other free providers, zip them through something like the Clearbit API to

You can do pretty much the same with ASP.NET core + Kestrel, too. Substitute Postgres for SQL Server if you want to stay all open source. But even with SQL Server, you can deploy the whole stack on Linux.

You know, if you read the article about Systems and Leverage Points[1] that's on the front page right now, it's not hard to see the entire world as a function made up of other functions. And one of those other functions is you.

This is long, and it's a lot to digest, but I find it pretty applicable to software systems. And it's funny how often we see software teams twiddling at the edges of a system, spending a ton of time on things than don't meani

For something like a slideshow, I think you could have it both ways - default to a scroll view that shows all of the slides at once, and make it so clicking a slide shows the slide on a single page that is deep-linkable. The user could then

Breaking it is completely unnecessary too, even with single page apps. It's not all that hard to build a React or Angular apps that use proper links along with the browser history API. Designed properly, the apps should be able to load

One of the 2017 competitors took off in a little over a tenth of the distance DRACO took[1]. Of course, a stripped down Cub is probably much less useful overall, but taking seeing it take off in ~14 feet is fun. [1] https://www.y

GitHub might go and delete all the forks in this case, but that's not what happens in general. Normally on GitHub, if a public repo is deleted or made private, all of the forks survive [1]. I'm not trying to nitpick or be a jerk

I've found Never Split the Difference to be a good complement to the two books you mentioned. It offers some additional approaches that might work well when negotiating startup financing.

It's a relatively minor nitpick, but since version 3, npm flattens the package tree as much as it can and tries to bring everything possible to the top level node_modules directory. It'll still use nested node_modules where necess

Not in absolute terms, but it's closer when you compare housing cost vs compensation, I think. The cost of rental housing has jumped up quite a bit recently, too. When I was looking for a place to live in 2015, I saw quite a few condos

I think it's okay that you don't see eye to eye with people who love Vue. And I think it's also important to note that most of the things you point out are matters of preference. I've seen Vue fans and React fans argue a
