Very true—for a software developer, part-time consulting is probably the quickest path to making some money. It's a lower-risk, but much lower-leverage option than a 0-1 startup. Building a startup has a high risk of going to zero, but

100%. Another reason to start by talking to customers. The product has to be more than useful—it has to fit into their current workflow. Most B2B startups underinvest in sales (which is not the same as sending 100,000 cold emails).

Something can be both conceptually simple yet difficult to execute. (The key to losing weight is "just" to eat less and exercise, piano is "just a bunch of keys," etc) Personally I have a mortgage and a family, so I&#x27

To be specific, I would quit the other 73 income streams and stop any extracurricular activities until I shipped something. Even though AI feels overhyped (it sort of is), we're still early in the game, and there's plenty of mon

To me, $80k sounds like a very small amount of "F-You" money. I'm not criticizing the OP at all, but if I quit my job with 80k in the bank, I would immediately start researching the most painful B2B problem I could solve q

Exactly. Both programming and photography seem to attract technicians who want to believe there is a “right” way. Fast forward 20 or 30 years, and anyone still practicing has given up on absolutes and false dichotomies.

Another reason to choose Postgres… if you fell asleep and woke up 20 years later like Rip Van Winkle, Postgres would still probably be a 100% valid choice.

Wow, do you have a write up of your scanning setup? It sounds like it could work for scanning 4x5 and 8x10. I’m also curious about your comments on the light source. Although you’re 100% correct about the way the wavelengths are specified i

The point is: what are you going to do if single-payer healthcare does not materialize in the US? You have many options; plotting a revolution, working for reform inside the system or impotently complaining on social media. What is actually

Yeah, sounds like you want something that has a simple and approachable UI but allows you to dig deeper when you need to. Not to point you to a competitor, but check out what iA Writer does with the UI on the Mac. While you're typing,

Man, best of luck: "simplicity" and "personalization" are in pretty tight tension. Should inspire some interesting solutions!

Just because Chrome implements a feature and then rams it through a W3C committee does not make it a “standard” that Apple must support on day 1. The arrogance of the Chrome crowd is astonishing.

Let me rephrase. They were processing uncompressed video via a loopback interface?

I’m so confused… they were sending uncompressed video to an AWS server? If so, they deserve a $1M bill.

I’ve never been a huge water drinker, but this year I’ve been consciously having a full glass of water at least 2-3 times during the workday. It has been fascinating how much it has affected my mood and performance, particularly in the afte

Same boat—I'm on a lowly M1 MacBook Air, and haven't felt any need to upgrade (SwiftUI development, video editing, you name it), which is wild for a nearly 4 year-old laptop.

Anecdotally, having been in client services, I saw Dropbox use plummet on both the client and agency side once the pandemic hit. People switched from syncing files to working directly on the same document in the cloud (e.g. Microsoft Word -

Yeah, I’ve been coding for 30 years, and to me, linting seems like alphabetizing the tools on your peg board. There are plenty of times where I want to break an expression into multiple lines—or not—in the service of readability. And ther

I've talked to a number of Japanese people about Ikigai, and they either didn't know about the Venn diagram, or thought it misrepresented the concept. It's the modern-day equivalent of "the Chinese word for crisis"

Wow, there's a whole industry devoted to what they're calling "Computer Use" (Robotic Process Automation, or RPA). I wonder how those folks are viewing this.
