I always find this very frustrating, how hard can it be to put a demo (or even just a screenshot) of your product? Did they not think someone visiting their site would want it? On this note, the worst offender in my opinion is Voyager for L

In what way is he biased in this video?

It might as well be a combination of the two, but to be honest I don't think it's an issue. If those ego boosts are what keeps you building something useful, that's great and you probably deserve them. It's a bit like s

With that description I still have no idea about what you actually do. Maybe that's not actually the pitch and you're just giving an example, or maybe not, just wanted you to give you my feedback :)

> Don't track hours. Probably you don't mean it in this way, but I found time tracking to be very very useful, even when not tracking with the purpose of invoicing for your time.

On paper this is the most reasonable advice but it's not very realistic and it's definitely not the only choice. When I was thinking about quitting my job, I've encountered this advice a lot and it was very discouraging. So I

I couldn't agree more with this advice. I'm more of a dev than a consultant, but I believe this applies to many fields. I quit my job a year ago to start doing freelance/contract work, I never directly looked for clients but

I wholeheartedly agree with this article, and I firmly believe that if no one paid attention to flat earthers, for example, it wouldn't have become such a big matter. It's mind-boggling to me that there's people on YT/so

I'm surprised to see someone likes them, but after all there must be a reason if they exist. As someone who uses LastPass for pretty much every online form, I deeply hate magic login emails. I'm fine with them existing, as long as

That's not a justification at all. Just to give you an example: UK company addresses are open to the public, and easily accessible through the government website. Many UK internet personalities have set up a company, and for many of th

I don't really get what you're trying to prove here, I mean yes we can see the algorithm as a form of curation but the point here's different, newspapers have a set amount of pages and articles whereas YouTube has 400 hours o

Wait, this example is different, the first list has a 40px left padding, which adds unnecessary space at the left of each bullet point. With a 20px left padding it looks way better than the example below in my opinion.

Imho posting almost every day for 10 months is more than mildly spammy, I agree that the articles are generally high quality but that's true of many other publications. I have no idea if there's other people doing the same nor i

People at Slack had the same doubts before they chose that name[1], but clearly it was a non-issue [1] https://www.npr.org/2018/07/27/633164558/slack-flickr-stewar...

Yes, cash.js[0] does almost that, although it doesn't mirror all of jQuery's methods (like .fadeIn() .fadeOut() for example) [0] https://github.com/kenwheeler/cash/
