I believe it depends on the use case. If you notice, Stripe and Coinbase are the first few companies that use the type system. They are both dealing with financial systems and numbers in general where having types would help a lot in catchi

I believe we are at a turning point for the future of web apps and servers. After using Firebase and serverless (I hate this term) technologies in the last few, I didn't miss doing all what's said in the blog at all. Need authenti

I wish chat/widgets weren’t a thing on the web. It’s not that it’s bad but I think it’s annoying how they just pop up from everywhere (mostly bottom right). It’s mostly an interface/UI problem. I wish they do it like Apple, where

There was a time when I wanted to use Travis CI but the pricing was too much. Then, CircleCI came along with a free plan, and when the time came to upgrade, we did it so easily since we’re already invested in the platform. I wish Travis CI

I might get heat for this but personally I find the JavaScript ecosystem to be a mess. There are so many changes to the language that are done aggressively which I think are done without much thought. For example, the promises API, now we a

I'm happy for Discord since I know they're a big user of Elixir [0]. I'm sure it will make the Elixir language stronger and will make it a strong candidate for apps in the future. Much like how Twitter/GitHub did for Rai

We should really stop using the word "serverless". I would rather call them instead "zero config servers".

These kinds of problems (swipe fees, etc) is where I believe cryptocurrencies shine. Having a fee payment which is reasonable and fast confirmation times would solve this problem immediately removing the need for third parties.

I don't think there's an obligation for any company to publish a post mortem. But if a company does, it shows that they're a company that's accountable and shows that they care about their customers.

Off topic. Not to be harse. But for a company as big as Mixpanel, the blog UI is terrible. No branding at all and seems unprofessional. Even more ironic is they say this as the first line in the post: "Clean, attractive user interfaces
