I have a couple of 100% handwritten sites as well. The challenge is when they go beyond about a dozen pages. If you want to change something across pages that isn't a find & replace, like adding a meta tag, it starts to be a drag.

I bring this story up all the time. It's tragic that it was never implemented! I know you could read it as a story about CEO capriciousness, but to me it highlights how far Steve was willing to go to make the Mac playful and enjoyable.

Real talk, how do you actually avoid N+1? I realize you can do complicated JOINs, but isn't that almost as bad from a performance perspective? What are you really supposed to do if you need to, e.g. fetch a list of posts along with the

I was a consultant for many years. You can definitely buy yourself time (see below), but always make sure you understand why the question is being asked, and how your answer will be used. Sometimes people just ask questions in meetings

Look, there's a rich spectrum of abstraction that we are lucky enough to choose from as developers. Obviously you can write a byte stream onto the disk using assembly if you want, or you can have a high-level API store data for you wit

I'm using raw Postgres. I don't like a lot of dependencies or "stacks" where they don't need to be. Claude does this extremely efficiently.

Someone has to come up with the idea for app, have a vision for what it needs to be, and continually push it forward without going off-course.

This is such a weak take to read while I have Claude Code running in the background creating a new database migration for a feature we're building

Yeah, I just have it generate PRDs/high-level plans, then break it down into cards in "Kanban.md" (a bunch of headers like "Backlog," "In-Progress", etc). To be honest, Claude is not great about moving car

I'm always watching Claude Code as it runs, ready to hit the Escape key as soon as it goes off the rails. Sometimes it gets stuck in a cul de sac, or misunderstands something basic about the project or its structure and gets off on a b

I mean, that sucks for past winners, but it’s a private company. When a company is acquired out of bankruptcy, it’s usually an asset purchase on a debt-free, liability-free basis. That gives the new owners some hope of saving the company. I

I'm currently implementing SES for a new app, but I like the idea of having another option. I wonder what the pricing will be.

I agree 100%. If your investing horizon is at least 10 years, there's literally never a bad time to buy technology equities (ideally as an index). What's the counterargument? That technology will be less important in the future? T

Tell that to their actual customers. At some point, State Farm or Eli Lilly is going to say "hey, we spent $1B on AI and fired 10,000 people. Where's all that efficiency you promised?"

This is conjecture, but I'm fully expecting a correction, if not a recession. Fortune 500 has gone all-in on AI and set high expectations for increased efficiency. So far, that boost has not come, but Wall Street has been patient. But

The audience is almost literally no one, the people doing the upvoting are doing it for subhuman wages in developing countries, and the only scrap of value created is a "#1 on Product Hunt" badge that doesn't even impress dev

If a person in the west is thoughtful enough and lives long enough, they will eventually either discover Buddhism, or accidentally re-invent it. (See: Stoicism, Post-modernism). Usually the thing that's left out is Buddhism's ethi

This is what I always do. Rather than go directly from the card reader or camera into Photos or Lightroom, I copy the files onto an SSD, and then bring them in from the SSD. The entire process goes faster. I also want to point out that I&#x

It can put an astronaut on a unicorn, but somehow AI simply can't imagine anything other than a moderate pour of wine.

This looks fantastic, and in the same vein as nano banana. I wonder if this inspires any startup ideas…

Software people reply heavily on systems, patterns and frameworks in planning their work. It leads them to think that all of life is like a coding challenge that just needs the right framework, and as soon as they think they’ve discovered s

The other part of this vision is that out of 9999 different tasks, only 1-2 are routine enough and valuable enough to merit a purpose-built robot. But a generalist robot could theoretically do an almost infinite variety of low-stakes task

I bet this refers to some common training use case that leverages 512px or 1024px images. Or it’s just Palantir scanning security camera frames.

I mean this with no snark: I would love to see the investor deck that explains how an AI-powered browser is going to make any multiple of $610M.
