Yes, as a solo-preneur or on a small team I've always managed or shared the responsibility. It can be fun, but it is amazing how much time devops takes away from product delivery. I can spend hours getting logging setup, or figuring ou

I use LinkedIn when I have to penetrate a bureaucracy such as this. Nothing gets action faster when a VP or higher get a personal email / phone call regarding something like this. Step 1: Troll linkedin to find these people in position

I looked into this a few years ago when I was entertaining the idea of bringing better-than-dsl speeds to a rural town. Here is what I learned: Getting high speed internet to a rural location is a mix of cool tech, line-of-site, politics, r

You're gonna like this: https://github.com/TeamHG-Memex/autologin This is a spider that can auto-login given a seed url. I wonder how much harder it would be to make this just a sign-up tool as well?

Lots of bookmark managers popping up. I've added this one to the on-going list at my own bookmark manager (dog-fooding) here: https://www.curabase.com/a/b86eefdd-5f52-4455-9a1e-25ad0b0e9...

My rights of passage: 1. your own MVC framework You should do this to appreciate why developers of other frameworks make the decisions they do. I gained so much wisdom from this. 2. Parsing HTML with regex (see here - http://blo

I did look at it, but I would have to make subsequent calls to get the data I'm looking for. One call to get top stories and then one call each to get the current status of each story. That would make 151 calls ever two mins vs my 5.

This script is used to "measure the weather" on Hacker news. Just like in real life we don't simply look at the last temperature at 11:59 and say, "This is how the day was." That would be wrong and inaccurate. We ta
