By "SRE", are people actually talking about "QA"? SREs usually don't know the first thing about whether particular logic within the product is working according to a particular set of business requirements. That&#x2

The main thing I dislike about typedefs is that you can't forward declare them. If I know for sure I'm never going to need to do that then OK.

Meh. If your business fails, you basically got $500K in exchange for nothing. Still sounds to me like a good deal.

> You don't need to keep adding features and changing the software ad infinitum. I agree. I never claimed anyone needs to do this.

Potential revenue growth is only as finite as your ideas (and ability to execute on them). Just look at Google. They could have stopped writing new software at any point and been just fine. But in the long run they'd have missed out on

The economics are different because the industries are fundamentally different. Software is never "finished" the way a building is finished. More features can always be added to software. If those new features create new product l

"server" in Discord terms just means a community space with channels. You don't actually run any sort of "server" software, it's all managed by Discord.

Soft deletion and privacy deletion serve different purposes. If you leave a comment on a forum, and then delete it, it may be marked as soft-deleted so that it doesn't appear publicly in the thread anymore, but admins can still read wh

When I reached this point, I left to start my own company. Build something that would actually be mine. Though obviously that's easier said than done.

Despite appearances, Trump's power is largely political. If he didn't have the support of the Republican party, he couldn't do most of the things he's doing, since Congress would override him. But the reality is that he

I can't really envision what Microsoft stands to gain by doing this. If Windows were to become a Linux distribution, what reason would anyone have anymore to buy Windows, or Windows Server? I can run Linux for free. Any kernel modifica

Big companies are very bad at developing new software. That's why it's so common for successful software startups to eventually get acquired. Big companies know that it's a lot more efficient for them to spend money simply bu

It would be a lot cooler if the three could share code/assets somehow, bringing the package size down further.

I like the concept. Though, they couldn't have found better text-to-speech voices? Or is it meant to be humorous how bad they are.

The author's philosophy is that, what the people doing him kindness got in return was that they got to do something kind for someone. To be honest, I think there's something to that. It could certainly be taken too far, but your a

To be fair, it's very rare that articles praising the power of AI coding assistants are ever substantiated, either. In the end, everyone is kind of just sharing their own experiences. You'll only know whether they work for you by

You're still thinking too much in a "tech company" mindset. At the kind of company I'm talking about, concepts like "access" and "permissions" are irrelevant. Most of the company's employees bare
