Just stumbled upon this thread and wanted to share Richard Hamming's classic talk from '86, "You and Your Research." Then I realized that the funny part is that PG has already linked to Hamming's talk on his site (

This was neat. It reminded me of a similar story in poker history - Stu Ungar. Stu was a phenomenal player who won the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event three times, in 1980, 1981, and 1997. Like Tosa, Stu had an uncanny ability to re

Big Teachify crowd here! I will say, Epihub was really the byproduct of Epigrammar (as Mike highlighted above) and us just using the term “hub” a lot. It was hard to mispronounce, we had the .com, it felt like an homage to our previous work

I think it could work, we haven’t tried it for a conference, but email me directly (first name at company name.com) so we can make sure you’re setup right. To answer your question, not only is every single string of text customizable, but s

Yeah the original application borrowed heavily from our first product which predates LiveView so we stuck with what we knew. Our first product actually predates contexts and schemas in Phoenix. We started working on it around the time Phoen

Thanks for the question. So a pretty big difference from the outset is the type of customer we focus on (again, correct me if Learnworlds is different). Where Learnworlds is focused on creators who want to build courses that are asynchronou

Thank you, to be honest Abinsthe and Apollo go together incredibly well. I think coming from Rails and switching out controllers for resolvers made adjusting to building SPAs far easier. I still think building routing on the client side fee

Great question. We built the product originally to help us bring a tutoring business online as in-person instruction was impossible. Again, these were businesses built around live instruction so the only option was video. Zoom was the one p

I’m always amazed by the sheer number of products Google has built and sunset. I didn’t actually know about this, but it sent me down a rabbit hole. What kind of work was most popular on Helpouts?

Yeah we're currently limited by Stripe Express, but we'll probably look to expand relatively soon. We've been looking at RazorPay for India or even enabling Stripe Standard accounts across the board. Any particular countries

This made me laugh so thank you, but in all seriousness, we started by working through the lifecycle of a customer from the top and push it to the end. The first part being, how do you meet and qualify a new client, to the last part where y

Something cool to try is to blend your tmux bindings with your vim bindings: https://gist.github.com/mislav/5189704 Mislav Marohnić has a super nice method of moving between tmux splits and vim splits the same way so y

I’ve always done: > Mod+| for vertical split > Mod+- for horizontal split I’ve been using it like that for years, but haven’t seen it in too many places like that. It just feels super logical since the symbols look like the split!

There's something amusing to seeing $1B doled out over a Google Spreadsheet while some charities a microfraction of the size will spend thousands of dollars on a custom website. Spreadsheets become SaaS products and SaaS products becom

I like this part: “The defining quality of an ideologue, whether on the left or the right, is to acquire one's opinions in bulk.” I think another way to slice this is, if you think of the Overton window shifting along the axis of time,
