Whenever I talk to a friend starting a startup, I literally tell them to read this book. It's really just the basics of user research (for those of us who haven't been a part of UXR before) with a focus on determining whether a st

At some point, we decided that proposed changes (patches) should live in source control before they were approved and brought into history. In my view, this is where the problem lives. I don't care about having an immutable record of t

As one who spent a large part of today searching for a domain, I have to say this domain is great.

https://stacking.dev/ has a good summary of this! tl;dr the difference is a stack is merged partially as it's built out (that reduces merge conflicts, allows you to revert individual parts as found) and a feature branc

Thank you! Yes, we've tried really hard to take the best parts of Phabricator and incorporate it into the product :)

There was a post about shamir secret sharing recently by levchin (and chaos that it caused at paypal): https://max.levch.in/post/724289457144070144/shamir-secret-s... This is 100% one of my favorite algorithms, bu

I first learned to code (and animate!) on Macromedia Flash. Their tooling for animation and tweens made it so accessible for someone who hadn't had much exposure until then. I've been waiting for someone to port that over to HTML5

To me, Monorepos are about a separation of concerns (or lack thereof). Something is a monorepo if/only if there is greater than one concern in the repo. (For example mobile + web, backend + frontend, service + server). When I was at FB

Hmm, I think there may be some confusion. A merge queue != stacked branches.

I have a dumb question: isn't the the same set algorithms and technology we've needed to develop for geospatial search (given coordinates, find the nearest coordinates)? I remember reading about how Google maps did a very similar

I think until now this has been a complaint about generative AI applications that has been handwaved away ("what if co-pilot generates GPL code?" -> "Well it will generate a blend of many pieces of code") If there is

Are there any good tools to see how the compiler is rewriting your code? Almost a compiler coupled with a decompiler to show me the diff of what I wrote and what's happening?

Finally! I have a question I've been dying to ask for some time. Most of the time, when I hear people talking about UUIDs being better than big ints, it comes down to big ints leaking data (how many users / posts / comments y

Congrats on launching! I'm personally a huge fan of pharicator, having used it at FB and realizing how much I missed stacking, the review queue, and herald after leaving. We built Graphite ( https://graphite.dev ) to bring a
