This tool is the culmination of many things in my interviewing experience. 1. I bought all of system design content; still don't know if I can produce high quality designs 2. I bought paid interviewing.io SD interview. After it

we have a number of airline credit cards that give us free check-in, which is way less stressful on both departure and arrival procedure. So i can minimize the time spent sitting inches from strangers in a seat that is too small for me.

even after optimizing your rails app, you still need to send HTML to your users through the interwebs. you can optimize this by routing all requests through a CDN even if you’re not caching pages at the edge. cdn to your data center uses hi

Why do you prefer an HTTP API versus a DB connection? Isn't the former going to inherently have the overhead cost of creating the connection + TLS handshakes? My question is similar, which is, is CockroachDB going to have an equivalent

wow what a gross underestimate on my part for how big this project is. is there somewhere i can read more? did you know it would cost this much before you started? was 15 languages just for completeness i can’t imagine ads paying that well

even if i have this individual opportunity fit, that doesn’t really correlate to a decent exit, right? i could have a monopoly on X in a market but that might not necessarily get me the exit i desire, right? this question isn’t about ideati

hmm i wonder if a site like this would be a good candidate for cloudflare pages where bandwidth is unlimited (even though they have a 20K file limit). Then servers wouldn't need to serve any requests, and every time the source weather

As a thought exercise, I thought about how I would architect a web application as a 1 man show with a relatively small amount of users. I tried to optimize for cost and very little devops at all. I still mull about it but so far, here is wh

I'd say you just have to dive in and try google or facebook ads with a clear goal in mind (like i want to convert 1 person to convert based on this copy). marketing/sales education isn't like a recipe that will always work. t

Hey Rob, Please release that book on dating. Not that I'm interested in the topic, but I'm more interested in reading something entertaining.

I played with next/next-auth and what was appealing was how cheaply you could run an app. one thing that i didn’t have time to look into is the latency profile when you manage sessions on your own with all the application logic on edge

go with python, it's the most general purpose language out there. devops/data science/data engineering/web it's just so versatile. nodejs/javascript story is so fragmented, but there's a lot of innovation

you must have a great recruiter because the candidates we get take 45 minutes to solve a problem; it’s painful. no time to chat.
