Oh well. No such thing as free lunch after all. Yet again, a user-funded nonprofit would be the way to go, but users want free stuff. Minority would donate, but good luck having a steady cash flow and…

This is why co-working spaces may be the next "office". Companies are cancelling their leases left and right. For many software companies, this is likely the way it will unfold. Why pay huge…

I agree that kids are now growing up being told that it's easy. Here's a possible scenario: 1. we tell kids it's easy in order to get them interested 2. those who are interested, learn …

So is running a blog which can handle 100 people simultaneously viewing it... :)

I recommend fortinet as replacement for USG. Not as cheap, but you get what you pay for.

It is possible. Here’s how: - reach out to 20 biggest streamers on twitch and get them to agree to move to your platform, the same way spotify got Joe Rogan to move from YT to Spotify - with signed ag…

This was wonderful to read. I believe that I am guilty of the thing the author calls the martyr complex. The world right now is indeed the best that it ever was and here I was constantly outraged abou…

I'm building fDeploy[1] which is a dev tool similar to Octopus Deploy, but more simplified in order to keep it lightweight and more affordable. I never intended to make money off this (started bu…

If only the billionaires would listen to you... (Mind you, I fully agree with you here.)

The change has to start with us. Developers should value their work, and stop going for virtual stars and points. I used to determine my self-worth through the number of stars my GitHub project had. B…

How much time on average do you spend on reviewing the source code of a given browser extension before you install it? Also, how do you make sure that the published source code is 1:1 with what you ar…

This is probably the main problem reddit has had for years. If a sub becomes too popular, it becomes a liability as mods can lock or destroy the sub. What can reddit do? Bring in a mod of their own (p…

Time to ditch the term “autopilot”, eh?

Thank you, that means a lot! :) I plan to publish the source code with step by step instructions on how to build and host your own instance. Publishing the source will require some cleanup/prepar…

Care to take a guess how much longer this will be around? :)
