I bought a large house for peanuts this year in PT, just not in Lisbon. Really about the cheapest m2 with land I could get in Europe. Not everyone wants or needs to live in a city.

What a nonsense article ; this applies to every country in the most popular cities.

Yeah, I was thinking that. Once people know how the system works, people will game the system. In my experience, there are some people who want to manipulate everything in their favor and against the rest and you cannot really do that (‘ne

Looks more realistic like that I think: startups are supposed to struggle so doing dips of almost bankrupt seems smart really.

Thank you for that feedback!

I cannot imagine sitting in one place when working. I move, with my laptop, from desk to the couch to the outside table to the gym to the coffee shop to the bar. If I had a desktop, it would gather dust in 2 seconds flat. But then you did s

Maybe people who answer/read this also evaluated yugabytedb, which has a much friendlier license (apache 2)? We are evaluating different solutions and we depend on some Postgres compatibility as we have a lot of code to that effect. Yu

What does that mean? What service do you have that is disallowed? We are evaluating it and are finding the license page confusing. Yugabyte seems friendlier but it seems even less talked about.

In software (unlike many (all?) other fields) there is enough of a lot of things out there; web frameworks, programming languages, crms, content management systems; the list goes on. People feel a flaw of sorts and roll their own. Most won’

So, most ‘experts’ then? I try to know as little about k8s and aws as I can but because of ‘people who embellished their resume’ (I am trying to be nice here), I had to because most that had it on their resume did ‘something’ with it but no

We do a lot of .net core development (our main product is a large codebase in .net with code written and refactored from back to 2013) and most of it is on mac. Most use rider or vs for Mac. Most code is asp.net core, we have a large xamari

It is relevant, but as it happens these days, you read only the first line of my comment. I was agreeing with you (I can read longer comments) and was thinking of ways how to resolve it if you want to pay nothing or much less. I never said

Same for safari indeed.

They could store it on aws glacier or something and it would cost them cents per month. They probably do something like that anyway when you cancel as someone said they could restore their shop after having cancelled two years before that.
529.
by tluyben2 4y ago
But you can’t really count on that right? Maybe they stop doing that at some random time and after that cancelled users are not so lucky.

I am not sure the word startup applies to that kind of boutique or lifestyle company and this is specifically talking about startups in the way we have now accepted them; funded, high growth, make it or bust type of companies. I agree with

My wife (20 years) and myself just share it all. I mostly made (a lot) more; we both don’t really care about stuff or vacations. Since we met eachother, we started doing this after 2 months. I have always done this in previous relations and

Yes, as you also share terrible things like stress, anxiety etc that often comes with these kind of jobs. It might not feel as much but I know quite a few cases where the stay-at-home person burnt out severely because of the stress transfer

Funny that most people here advocate aws while they have tons and tons of foot shooting tools that cost people 1000s of usd all the time. And we just accept it. Like if you want to kill a complex cluster with one api call or button click, i

I think it does benefit but I don't think many startups have any chance of getting in even if they have all the positives. People are incredibly biased (I basically only look at fundamentals myself; I don't really even care about

Phoenix (and similar projects, but this is the best I tried), are what things are supposed to be like. React etc are depressingly overly complex for the programmer imho. I mean I made very large (because it's more popular so more peopl

I usually get asked, but I more and more desire just projects that are from scratch for 3-6 months alone or with 2-3 mates of mine. Those I find harder to find; the sites that say they offer projects like that really don’t; they mostly end

What are the costs for airtable specifically? I checked it out a few times but even for toy projects it seems to cost a kidney if you have a tiny bit of traffic.

by tluyben2 4y ago
Not sure how that is different from a 8600 mrr business running on postgres; seems putting airtable in the title is just for clicks? It would be very interesting to read about someone building a $$$$ mrr business on just airtable; no pro

I had a large project for a new client a while ago; they had 50 devs and I was managing work of 20. They kept saying I did not understand what agile is; this way they have no control! They said. So they started more and more micromanaging t
