   Honest question: If my web browser struggles to even render the preview, why in god's name would I put any of these presets on a production webpage?

   One of my favourite things of being on HN is reading comments like this. Namely, devs who worked on games I played growing up. I absolutely love hearing stories from their past about little technical nuances like this comment. The more tech

   Seeing the Rust 1M benches were an amazing reminder as to how fast stuff really is.

   100%. Premature optimisation I believe that's called. I've seen it play out many times in engineering over the years.

   I'm feel like I could write another post: Do you even need serverless/Cloud because we've also been brainwashed into thinking we need to spend hundreds/thousands a month on AWS when a tiny VPS will do. Similar sentiment.

   Exactly. And most apps don't get there and therefore don't need it.

   The irony isn’t lost on us, trust me. We spent a while debating whether to even publish this one. But yeah, the page cache point is real and massively underappreciated. Modern infrastructure discourse skips past it almost entirely. A warm N

    We went through the exact same dilemma with our product [1]. For desktop apps, one-off with a defined support window just feels right. Users get certainty, and you still have a clear path to future revenue when that window expires. Subscrip

    This comment was surprising to me. I never considered that people want to watch a video in this day and age when they can try the real thing. Perhaps I've fallen into that trap with the product [1] I'm building. I have a "Liv

    Thank you! That means a lot.

    Interesting. I'm a big fan of MMORPGs so hearing that this is how they were made is really cool. I've always wondered what kind of stack games like EverQuest were built on.

    Author here. I had the idea of building a working Chess game using purely SQL. The chess framing is a bit of a trojan horse, honestly. The actual point is that SQL can represent any stateful 2D grid. Calendars, heatmaps, seating plans, game

    Are we, though? My experience has been almost all positive. Devs love to give feedback. Devs have decent paying jobs, and therefore money to purchase devtools (ours is $79) Devs love trying out new things and being early adopters. Why is it

    I'm building and marketing a database client for the last 5 months, and what worked for me was: 1. Keeping a consistent devlog on YouTube. It's the #1 source of traffic. 2. Getting a rank 1, page 1 HN post for a technical blog pos

    First of all, Homeworld was an iconic game for me growing up, so as other people have said, thank you for being apart of its creation. I could not agree more. It feels like the creativity is back. I grew up building fun little websites in t

    Developers are pretty willing to pay for tools that save them daily friction, even in crowded spaces. I find that the trick is finding the wedge that makes yours feel essential rather than nice-to-have. At the end of the day, people pay to

    I find that when people can see what's coming, they're more invested in the product and more likely to share feedback that actually shapes the direction. The devlogs on YouTube serve the same purpose. It's a two-way street.

    Thanks Steve! The team angle came from mine and my co-founder's own frustration. We kept copy-pasting query snippets and results of queries into Slack/Teams to our engineering team but also Sales/Marketing etc. Figured there
