And until then you can do whatever you want except build a competing business, and if you're that eager to build a code coverage business then you should just come work with us lol. https://sentry.io/careers/

TIL Heroku v1 was a web editor like Replit or Codespaces, and they had a side feature to import an existing app as a ZIP file and people were using that for easy deploys even if they didn't use the editor. Also TIL "folk practice.

Hrm, it's a $10M venture capital fund, plus a $400k fellows/mentorship program. I thought at first that it was a $10M sponsorship fund like we recently did at Sentry, I was gonna be excited about that. :^)

True! It is not disruptive just because it sucks. In fact, it is not disruptive at all yet—what has it disrupted? Nothing. :^) What I said, though, is that I'm not _discouraged_ at its limited utility at this point in the game. It&#x27

Yeah I thought about using "developer" instead of "engineer." I'm in the US and we don't have a professional organization that owns the term. Meh. Am I allowed to say developer? Is that what I'm supposed t

You're making me blush, aliqot. Thanks for the kind words! Hit me up chad@zetaweb.com and let's get you a new heart coin. I still have the punch. :D

Yeah it blew me away when DALL-E spit that out on the first try. Both the name and the logo are so perfect, and DALL-E cut the time down from hours if not days or weeks to seconds to get there. At the same time I did iterate on it, I made i

The question occurs to me because I was talking with someone from Iran recently and learned about Internet shutdowns there. Why can't it happen here? https://www.netfreedompioneers.org/iranian-elections-2021-ho...
