Yeah i feel your pain here. Fly has a lot of things that feel like they're hidden features, or at least, undocumented. Like, its trivial to get all the env vars from a machine, but i couldn't find this in the documentation anywher

As someone with about 15 years of php under his belt, and now writing my second ruby app…i don’t know I’ll ever go back. It’s just so easy…

yeah thats the struggle i had too. Found I'd snooze on my phone but then they're in my desktop.

It’s almost like google intentionally kills good projects. I still miss Inbox more than anything. The snooze feature on an email was so amazing.

Yeah, thats a good question but i mean, feels like just a matter of time until someone figures that part out. If we can make GTA V load in under 2mins, we can solve human aging...

So take a copy when you’re 21 and store it, re-load it every 10 years?

by verelo 3y ago
Yeah it’s very tricky and an art for sure. We spent a lot of time on it, i feel like we really nailed it because it was all about finding overlap but also creating introductions. We intentionally split up many friend groups because we knew

Sounds great, yeah i think having a free lead gen offering that you can somehow cross-sell into another product line is the way to work here. Once you have some "customer data" like "size of wedding" you are positioned t

Ah yeah i see the versioning now. I didnt get what was happening there before but i do now. This feels more to me like an audit log, which while helpful doesnt really do what i had hoped. Seeing 1 person move at a time isnt super practical,

My wife and i just went through this for our wedding. A few remarks from that experience that might be helpful: 1. Versions matter - she'd often make a draft and want to tell me "ok tell me if you like this better than the previou

Ok great feedback, your point seems extremely valid, thank you!

My point is it’s not cheaper it’s more expensive, at precisely the wrong time. Sure shipping costs might be a small fraction of the costs of goods…but…unless it’s <= 2% that ain’t helping inflation so let’s do something about it. TLDR: i

You said this to a few people, and you’re not wrong but i also don’t care? This should be an issue we can resolve without really getting into the politics of their belief systems. Secure shipping channels, it’s been the MO of modern economi

I’m fairly concerned this Red Sea thing can turn into what sets off inflation for real. These routes were major efficiency factors to the economy. If we lose them, there’s nothing but added cost coming for us all, and at the worst time for

Funny you mention that. I was also confused by this same experience! I was recently introduced to the theory that most of the internet is bot activity and very little legitimate user activity. I think from a pure ratio perspective that’s ve

I’ve been using vscode for a few years now and while i find its search amazing, it doesn’t do much more for me. Its syntax highlighting is good, but the auto complete recommendations have been driving me insane recently. Writing rails api w

Very similar experience here. I started in .net but ended up Working in php, although only recently did i switch to ruby for a personal project. I’m loving ruby, and paired with nextjs / react for a front end this has to be the best wo

Thanks for asking! Honestly I’m sure I’ve been that bad manager plenty of times, no one improves without making plenty of mistakes, unfortunately.

by verelo 3y ago
I beg to differ, well, at least i beg to add a 3rd option. I like to subscribe to the thinking that the PM owns the decision but the best outcomes are made when they work closely with, and often take a lot of input from, the developers. At

That’s a good point. I guess this is just how it goes right now. I’ve found that retaining members on a team is the best hack for high performance. You need management bought into paying them well and giving you some autonomy around HR proc

Haha i had hoped when you invite that many people to a conference you’re a little more organized :P

Love this. So relatable. Keep this attitude please, and use it beyond your work life.

by verelo 3y ago
I have said similar things to a few replies but i really think it’s less simple and there being one way that works. I’m sure the agree to disagree works sometimes but my experience is we need to trust people to do their job, and if we canno

All good, i try not take things too seriously. Appreciate your bluntness and curiosity. Most of my career has been with early stage tech but I’ve also been in companies of thousands. I think I’m best cast in teams of 5-20 and I’ve found I’v

And that’s kind of the point right? I mean, it’s very hard to be that honest and reflective with one’s self but everyone has their preferences of style, engagement tactics etc, and it’s very hard to get right. I truly hope your impression i

Lol, yeah honestly wasn’t the plan but adding the plug felt like an opportune moment.

Your last sentence for me is it: total crapshoot. Agreed, it’s so hard to tell. I try hire more for personality and general intelligence and assume we can teach process and new tools. Historically I’ve attempted to tell developers what you

I seriously struggle to tell the difference between certain types of low quality candidates during interviews and people that just bounce around looking for the next shiny thing. I say this as a manager/developer/founder that come
