Glad to see a bit of Malaysian/Singaporean history in the form of post stamps featured on HN. Personal anecdote: my dad grew up during the post-colonial Malaysian era, and attended some colonial schools that were still ran by the Briti

Amazing thanks for the explanation! Would be really cool to read about the different designs and consideration and how you arrived at this in your blog post!

It seems insane sometimes that politics makes everything take so long that a decent engineer could’ve written all 3 solutions and validated them in 3 days, but no we want to discuss in this ticket over 3 weeks whose responsibility it is dep

That was cool to read about. I don't think we're disagreeing here. Humans (fertilized eggs) have many needs and interactions that give rise to language itself. Current LLMs seem to be most similar to the linguistic/auditory p

Easier to sell the initial impression for "modern" web apps (shiny, easy-to-learn, low-skill-ceiling) vs the actual performance of TUI/"desktop" apps (mundane, effortful-to-learn, higher skill ceiling). Maybe someon

Just this past month was my first ever visit to Canada, and the supermarkets here also blew my mind (I spent the last decade in Germany and before that in a mix of Malaysia/Singapore). I heard this was also representative of US superma

Cap’n Proto’s pattern on Cloudflare workers sounds like a good idea for someone who is already on Cloudflare. Bit of a harder sell to migrate lambda functions or workers to this, doesn’t seem like there’s a progressive option to do so?

I found the book more accessible, if you just want to flip through it, or have it open while completing some of the projects. I'm at the last chapter of the book, while a few years back doing the course, I only completed 3 projects. Bu

I first tried the course many years back, and didn't complete it (not necessarily only because it was in course form). Last year I bought the 2nd edition book, and found it more accessible, as a do it on your own time type of project,

Also, doing boring necessary things are a bit like walking. It gives your mind space to think while keeping your body busy. Unless of course, you can't live with your thoughts.

I heard that speech when I was much younger and didn't understand it. Now, going through life in my mid-30s, not finding much "greater meaning" and trying to get through things, it's a really good reminder. Thank you

I think it's more like 80% of time at the start of any project, and then trickles down to no time, then up to 80% again when there's a new feature/config/incompatibility with tooling. In larger projects and in orgs, you
