   For my recent book [1] I tried to first stick to Markdown with Pandoc. But Markdown is very limiting for books. Things like callouts, chapters and etc—are hard to do in Markdown. Therefor I switched to AsciiDoc with AsciiDoctor and I found

   Thank you! I really appreciate it! I'm working on adding as much data as possible.

   Thank you very much! Right now, I don't have enough data in order to disclose the (non)fancy math behind the score. The moment I gather more information, I'm planning to provide a detailed breakdown of the score, and preferably se

   Theoretically, nothing prevents you from running `npm install` inside the specific package. Do you have any other approach?

    Oh the focus is very interesting! I ditched yarn to get back to the official tool, but seems like npm does lag behind yarn and pnpm

    I never got the chance to use pnpm. I try to stick to “official” tools. But it sounds interesting, so I’ll check it

    Yes I agree. I just need to finish a small missing functionality, and get a domain + hosting for it

    I could. But sometimes I just want to engage in authentic discussions without being an extension of my products.

    If we are talking about syndromes, then I think you might have a Stockholm syndrome. On a more serious note, marketing is an umbrella term. There is clever marketing out there. It’s, however, rare. Most of the marketing is trash in a form o

    You know, the more I think about it, the more I start to feel like the entire “solves a pain”, is yet another myth. I don’t think there are problems left to solve. And the ones that are left, are not solved by people who promote themselves

    Never said I’m against marketing. I’m just against click bait and low effort content to draw attention / beat the algorithm

    Thanks for the suggestion. This particular one was classified as failed, I don't intent to work on it. I'm focusing on another one, which is close to be released as private alpha. This one, I'll try to pin everywhere.

    Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it. I never said I’m against marketing or sales. At my current stage, after building two products with the “build it and they will come” mentality, I think I understand the importance of marketing and bra

    I don’t complain, don’t get me wrong. I just point out the absurdity of this gladiator games that everyone seems to enjoy too much. I don’t get offended by negative comments, as long as they are constructive, I see them as bliss.

    See, that’s the problem. When I say I don’t play algorithm games, people tell me I’m stupid and won’t succeed. When I promote my services, people tell me I use the wrong words. It’s an endless game. I don’t complain, I just point out the ab

    Being visible is not marketing. I’m visible, I post daily. Do I attract followers? No. No disrespect to Tony, I liked his post, but he had one paragraph dedicated to twitter, inside a 12 minute read about his technical projects. And this is

    Here is a good example. About 2.5 months ago, I’ve shared a blog post I wrote, here on HN [1]. The blog post was authentic with a simple purpose: (1) I like to write, and (2) I believed writing is beneficial to everyone. I share all my blog

    I agree with you. I just feel that “giving the people what they want”, is directly translated to asking stupid questions such as “do you read fantasy or sci-fi?” Or posting new-age motivational bullshit quotes. I don’t do that. I share my j

    Thanks. But that’s the problem. I haven’t used any of Tony’s products, but it’s hard to believe that each and one of them—is outstanding. And this is the missing part. I see a lot of people on twitter, who build all kind of products. None o

    I’m with you my friend. I’d rather go back to be employed and post helpful stuff to my blog, than try to promote my products using click bait tactics on social media. It’s funny, but when you post an obvious click bait to Reddit/hn eve

    One of the moves in the game that I refuse to play, is shoving your product down the throat of everyone. I’ve seen it live on LinkedIn when one of my followers started to post generic comments, under my posts, such as: “totally agree with y
