One problem is the type of user who opts to pay even $5 is probably worth more than triple the average. There’s the users who have money to spend at the top and a very long tail of non-spenders at the bottom dragging that average value down

I believe the fairly relentless pursuit of profit is moral and necessary to continue raising the standards of living of all people. In that sense Milton Friedman was very right. However it is an additional moral imperative to ensure the pro

I'll repost my response to this from the last time it got brought up. I talk favorably about Elm all the time so I hope this doesn't come off as defensive but I really think Evan was more tone deaf than rude in this case. "&q

Biggest thing for me is your #5. When I watch others cook I see a lot of downtime. 30 seconds here waiting for oil in pan to get hot, 30 seconds there chatting with me while their water boils, it adds up to minutes and minutes that could ha

I would say the Web Components portion of this article is a detour, mainly he was explaining his discovery you can't utilize web components to marry React and Elm together as one would hope. The real TLDR is it's too hard to hire
