Well... it does suck :) is a surprising amount of infrastructure to operate a mostly static website.

The audience for this is so technical, that they just build this functionality themselves into their own app :)

Maybe the outcome would have been different had he founded a Web4 or Web5 company. Lacks vision.

Sometimes I dream about writing my own secret coding language that no one else knows so I can have this personal/private connection to the digital products I build. I would make all my code open source, but no one would understand it.

For those concerned about the license, you can go right ahead and fork the open-source parts and start coordinating the development of any of the non-open parts on your fully open version. Personally, I appreciate the parts that have been m

This is very silly. I don't want any part of my personal life connected to my employer.

It surprises me that Dropbox has more than 500 employees at all... that's a lot of people for a product that does one thing well that hasn't substantially changed in years... To be clear: I'm a fan. Just sincerely don't

I think this pitch overstates the problem with CMSes. It seems for many organizations, their CMS is working well for them. Not saying this doesn't have benefit, but, as for me, I rather like my CMS and don't feel like this is a bi

This makes me think that, for some people, gambling may be addictive.

I make a conscious effort not to read any generic news and this would drive me insane. Even reading something like hackernews, there is a time and a place for that.

I have to imagine part of the reason they need to run so many servers is because they are running Ruby. The same application on say, Elixir, probably would require less hardware, reducing the cost of ECS or similar.

37signal folks love to put a spin on anything they do as if it's ground breaking or super innovative... but it rarely is. In particular, they love to take a contrarian position. Like their books, there really isn't anything intere

The most interesting part to me was the "change the world" rhetoric. I'm always curious to what extent people in positions like Zuck believe their own bs.

I guess there must be a usecase in missing here, but RDS is working so well for me, it's hard to imagine why I would not shift most of the operational concerns to this competent vendor. The only thing I can think of is cost. My usage p

As someone who has built some of this functionality into a product, it's one of those things that seems a lot less involved than it is!

Somehow being coerced to work long hours had been conflated with choosing to work long hours. Some people really enjoy working. I know, it's hard to believe :)

Enjoy while it lasts. People are pissed about the approach they took to gain marketshare before changing the terms. Soon enough there will be a viable free alternative.

I’ve wondered for a long time why some software engineers increase their skills consistently while others seem to get stuck in skill plateaus. This blog post goes into detail on the theory that expert coders benefit from the compound effect
