I'm thinking the same. If this happens, it will be amazing.

Thank you! I already notice how very different my three kids are, and being non conformist is going to be easier for some than for others for sure. The link you've added seem mostly for software …

I went through the process. They reached out to me, and at first I was very excited and I just wanted to see how good I was. Honestly I didn't think I'd make it far. When I reached the offer…

Yesterday I watched The Social Dilemma, and I just wanted to share some of my experiences: I quit FB as a user in 2011. In 2013, when I was 25, I received a high paying job offer to work at FB. Going …

Dutch feelings about bike helmets are close to American feelings about the second amendment.

Next to it, so that it doesn't interfere with either <style>, <script> or <template>.

I really love single file components. We are extending the syntax more by also adding <specification> and <requirements> tags to single file components. Great for automatically generating …

I have an online eye test (easee.online) which we are expanding globally. Would be interesting to connect to an ophthalmologist telemedicine platform. Can we connect? My email is in my profile.

Heroku is so great. We recently had to move away from it due to very high HIPAA compliance pricing, but the AWS setup with Beanstalk is much more cumbersome. Heroku (and its open source cousin Cloud F…

Wow! I've been trying to put my thoughts about this into a blog post, but it would have ended up (or will end up) almost exactly like yours (except I didn't know about "Worse is Better&…

Yes, but it's like saying: the distance he walked is 5km per hour for one hour. Easier to just say 5km.

Not sure about the comparison with YouTube. YouTube is one to many, and can be heavily cached. Meet is many to many with no caching.

To Googlers working on this: thank you! My work life shifted from 5% Meet to 80% Meet and it only got better during the crisis. Never noticed deteriorated performance.

You don't know a single thing about my organization. Why are you telling me what my responsibilities are?

This is great! As a CTO, having live integrity checks would strongly increase my trust, versus our current unit tests that cover data integrity. Development is nice, but live systems are real.

Code IS represented to both the programmer and to the file system as text files. I think your point is that this does not do justice to the complexity of most code bases, and with that I completely ag…

Indeed :) I'd say the biggest problems with platforms like these are 1: meaningfully diffing (visual diffing is an unsolved problem) and 2: the enterprise pricing.

You hit the nail on the head. I would love to create a PoC language/IDE/VCS that solves some of this. Code is very multi-dimensional and there are more ways to view the content than a text b…

It puzzles me too. I think that portability and the ability to use the same text-based tools even though you use different languages are the best reasons for sticking with text.

Very much disagree, and completely dependent on what you define as "real work". There are many low-cost platforms out there that allow for very rapid development of big projects. Disclaimer:…

Portability isn't the holy grail. To create working products, a lot of other things are important too.

You can always figure a way to extract the logic, you will just need the runtime to execute it afterwards ;)

This might surprise you, but a huge amount of business logic is already stored in databases etc rather than in text based code repositories. There are lots of enterprises that have platforms (e.g. Sal…

I was very confused as I had read the title as '... with Datadog" (the monitoring tool). Anyway, I think both are a good idea. Datadog -> integrating monitoring information back into the …

Just stumbled upon this option in the AWS console today. Big pain point solved for me as I wasn't comfortable with customer's data potentially being seen by AWS employees (Rekognition). Hope…

I taught myself framing earlier this year for some antique maps that I own, and it is surprisingly hard. Cutting the passe-partout, the glass, picking the right kind of frame, getting the proportions …

Sure they could, but it still needs to make sense from either a growth or a defense play. I don't see that for any of these companies.

I somehow had a feeling Gitlab would be bought this year, but the list dramatically falls apart upon closer inspection: - Google: will never work, completely different mindset and engineering culture.…

Agreed, the feature could be used for bad purposes. Does that mean we shouldn't build it? That's a tough question.
