Call me crazy, but I'm one of those people who wants their medical information to be harder to get, not easier. I don't want any company to have it at all, including hospitals, etc. I'd prefer to come in with a thumb drive wi

We're all on a different journey. Another recommendation, read the book "Bird by Bird." It is about writing, but I think it will help you put take one step at a time. You have to learn to choose small things to do towards you

I also ran BeOS back in the day when I was still in the Mac cult and it was speculated that it would be the basis for the next MacOS. It was super fast UX, attractive for the time... but there were no applications! Was fun to poke around in

On an individual level, this is a caution to not identify or over-identify with a particular group because it clouds judgement.

I have a couple startups and this desperation framework does not resonate with me. I do startups because I enjoy creating software/processes/opportunities that others benefit from and not having my financial outcomes bound directl

doubt it. Most people read books for entertainment (which is fine!) then implement none of the recommended strategies in their life/business. If you pick any book that is reasonably well regarded and actually implement some appropriate

If you want to have a profitable startup, focus on building your product and getting customer feedback. Reading books is a surrogate activity.

I can't speak for the accuracy of these predictions, but I welcome Zuckerberg to kill his company. The tone of this post seems like alarm or indignation but the death of Facebook (or whatever its named today) is a celebratory event not

It's hard to imagine a topic less interesting than NFT. Anytime I read anything about this topic my primary reaction is astonishment that anyone cares.

I disagree. As a small company, having all the various AWS services available is a major competitive advantage.

This seems similar to an Elixir/Phoenix use case where you have a GenServer per user. At first glance, it seems like that approach would be functionally equivalent.

This approach is very appealing to me :) curious about how people handle schema migrations when using this approach. I segment sqlite files (databases) that have the same schema into the same folder. I haven't really had a case where m

Currently, I am running multiple application servers (and lambda functions) using AWS Fargate that access sqlite files (databases) on an EFS share. So far so good, although my use cases are fairly simple.

People take velocity too seriously. Generally speaking, it helps you identify how much work the team typically does so you can ensure you have at least that much refined for planning the next sprint. That's pretty useful... depending o

It's hard to believe the whole 10x thing until you've seen it. I've been working as a software engineer for 25 years, and I worked with 1 person who was overtly ahead of everyone else by a significant, possibly 10x degree. Ac

I'll have to look closer, if there is cost savings I would consider it. We put a lot of effort into achieving AWS "Well Architected" so I'd hate to end up in a lesser position by going in a potentially lesser known, les

As someone who runs 20+ cloud based government applications it is unclear to me how this is easier to secure, more performant, or cheaper than AWS. My first impression is this adds a lot of risks and unknowns in a critical area where there

News about politics is extremely addictive. Rather than checking daily, or twice a day, or 50 times a day, you could block off a few hours once per month and get whatever the benefit is a person gets from keeping track of political topics.

I think you are speaking about accuracy. My point is that I don't benefit from a continuous stream of information about current events interspersed with advertisements -- it just doesn't serve me whether it is accurate or not.

I think he was being kind. While not everyone would agree with this, my lived experience is that the "news" or news media is rarely useful, often stressful and significantly more bad than good in terms of its impact on my mental w

Most of the time, when people think law enforcement is tracking their vehicle location, it turns out to be that the person's wife is aware that they are cheating, and is building a case.

Deno overstates the problem it is intended to solve because its founders needed to justify achieving funding by being developer-famous. Let's say a company were to adopt this tech over Node, well, it seems like it would be slightly bet
