Interesting timing... A few weeks ago I evaluated using tarsnap for my business and ended up going for borg + rsync.net, for some of the reasons pointed out in the post. It seemed like the more "…

My experience has also been somewhat disappointing. I had a toy project that I decided to host elsewhere (Hetzner VM + Dokku), after the node for the PG database stopped working without any notificati…

> Work 6 days per week. Use that saturday to work on things that are harder to do during the week because of interruptions. In my own case I haven't found it necessary to overwork. In fact, if…

This is one of the reasons why I'm contracting in The Netherlands! Though also because of the flexibility (3 billable days / week)...

I started using Fastmail a couple of years ago because it's so loved on HN, so I think it's just genuine (I'm a happy customer myself)

Not the OP, but I came across this and it sounded like something people here might like :) It's pretty impressive work, explained in a very accessible way in 15 minutes. If you don't know mu…

Wow, this resonates with me! I stopped doing full-stack development a while ago, and have since January been contributing to open source projects as a contractor (my next gig will be for ISRG, the mak…
