This times 100. Had exactly the same experiences with some long form posts on a new domain. - write good, original detailed stuff. - share on Twitter, Reddit,HN - reach out to people.

Where some here argue that Medium is the goto platform, I’d say it’s already in decline. I’ve seen engagement rates plummet over the last year or so. Side argument: complaining about services you use for free is kinda futile and never stick

This is what epics are for and they are right there in Jira. 1. Create epic with full context. 2. Create sub stories or tasks that describe the smaller deliverables. 3. Boom. Small tasks with a direct link to larger context. Works 100% fin

Would love to use GCF but the performance is terrible (as mentioned) and I need more geographic locations than GCF offers.

My SaaS uses Puppeteer for website monitoring. Shameless plug: https://checklyhq.com/product/transaction-monitoring/ It's been quite difficult to get it right, with Puppeteer being young etc. but it chugs alo

I run a ton of Puppeteer jobs (300k in the last month), currently on EC2 and Digital Ocean VM's, mostly due to the subtle difficulties of running Puppeteer on Lambda. Will certainly have a look at this project and contribute where poss

Good list, I’d add - private networks, using bastion hosts to access when needed. - very robust and regularly tested backups in case someone screws up the data. - hardware tokens to access and authenticate any critical parts.

I guess “struggle porn” is just a hip thing to write about. Books like “The hard thing about hard things” celebrates this. It’s startup canon by now.

Not dissing the general message. Startups can be brutal, but still. Dude is 22 and claims having seen more hardship than others. Try dealing with raising kids, health issues, sick family members, dying friends, mid life (all of which will p

That’s absolutely amazing. Reminds me of Francis Bacon (the painter) and his flesh / gore themed works.

100% the best example of survivor bias. Together with the Facebook quote on perfect being the enemy of good. I’ll have the nice and polished version of a product over the rushed out and buggy one every day.

The problem often is many people take statements like mine “clean code is anti starting a business” much to literal. Your code needs to be somewhat clean, just clean enough to make it to the next round. You could do TDD on that one part tha

I'd go as far as saying clean code as an anti thesis to starting a business. Clean code is a huge battle in itself but not the battle you need to win when starting a business. Clean UI though is a different story.

I was working at an IT agency as an ops guy. One Saturday morning our alerting went of for one of our customer's sites (a somewhat high profile public sector company). Turned out we were being DDOS-ed. The hosting company was trying to

Freelancer here. I understand what you're trying to say. But this is simply not true. Freelancing existed before Upwork and will exist after.

Props to the person coming up with the Shardonnay name. Tiny bits of fun in a pretty serious operation are awesome.

This is an excellent summary. One addition. All of the above takes a long time to get right. Even years.

For these low numbers, Postgres will do full text search just fine. So as mentioned, just use Rails or Django with Postgres.

I’m not super versed in MySQL failover, but am I correct to conclude the Orchestrator and RAFT also did them in? And isn’t that architectural components right to existence to exactly prohibit such a situation from happening? Genuine questio

Yeah, well, it's not as if they couldn't see the total and utter consolidation of cloud and hosting infra coming a mile away. The question was never "if", just "when". Should not be a shock to the local players
