I’m a strong believer in “fix bugs first” - especially in the modern age of “always be deploying” web apps. (I run a small SaaS product - a micro-SaaS as some call it.) We’ll stop work on a new feature to fix a newly reported bug, even if i

The premise of this article is 100% incorrect. Personal blogs are not "back". The article has zero evidence for this. Ironically, Darren Rowse (the "problogger" person cited in the article) hasn't published a new bl

This is a good write-up. If you’ve never run a hiring process, it’s hard to get a feel for just how difficult and time-consuming it is. And risky - hiring someone wrong for the role is very expensive and disruptive. And yet more likely to h

I'm not writing from the POV of a consumer of software. I'm writing from the POV of a seller of software. If you are selling software, don't be the person charging $10/month. It's hard to make that business work. Be

Anyone used GitKraken? I haven’t, but for reasons, I’m interested to hear about your experience with it.

Lots of people feel the same. Which leads me to another piece of advice: don’t do B2C. Sell to businesses who will be far more willing to pay higher prices, will churn at a lower rate, and will - in general - require less support.

Off-topic, but unlike the example pricing plans, don’t make your SaaS’s “standard” plan $10/month. If you want a place to start, start with $50/month. Or, as Patrick McKenzie used to tell us over and over, “charge more”. (Yes, yes

I agree with you. An article like this is weakened by including an unnecessary personal attack.

That would be either the Amstrad PC1512 or the PC1640, I guess. I had a holiday job/Saturday job at a computer shop that sold these. I’m surprised to realise I still remember the model numbers and specs.

“We all dodged a massive bullet” I don’t think we did. I think it is entirely plausible that more sophisticated attacks ARE getting into the npm ecosystem.

The author of the article needs to get in touch with a Lebanese person. Just about any Lebanese who has lived mostly in Lebanon will do. They have a popular and simple system for writing Arabic in Latin, with numerals stepping in for certai

In case the author is here… Here’s my pedant nitpicking: La Sagrada Familia is not a cathedral. It’s just a regular church, albeit a large and impressive one.

This is wonderful advice. A lot of apps intended for mainly adult use could do well by at least considering much of this advice.
