Nice of Heroku/salesforce to join the party - an hour late: https://status.salesforce.com/incidents/20003708

Why do I feel like a regulator would immediately file a suit for $1B+ if Waymo did this?

Pretty incredible that Rails World 2024 sold out in ~20min.

So, you’re telling me Twitter engineering was over staffed…

Ahh yea, it has nothing to do with the massive amount of crime, violence, decay and grift by those enabling it.

A person can be both ‘rich’ and want better for the community they choose to be part of.

Agreed.

Also, who thought it would be a great product improvement to update as you are launching a call?

In addition, a few more things that suck about Zoom:

- No I don't want my screen to go to Zoom/fullscreen when someone shares their screen

- When the call ends, just end. Don't show me anything more with zoom, or make my screen go to a zoom/call ended modal.

1 click on/ 1 click off. Just be simple!

The article suggests that makers tend to take on ambitious projects that take large blocks of time to complete. This is objectively true; even today. Most of what is built is ambitious or takes large chunks of time.

Editing some text or repositioning a button or something trivial is 30-min and does not require thought, but most everything is not this. Most everything involves large chunks of time and interrupting this chunk is certainly a disaster.

Most meetings can be done async with a few bullet points. So much time wasted on idle talk that is not productive.

When is Wells Fargo not mistreating customers? I feel like every few years it's another Wells Fargo story.

Incredible timing

You will also get:

- Priority in replies, mentions & search, which is essential to defeat spam/scam

- Ability to post long video & audio

- Half as many ads

Fantastic links. Looking forward to listening while having lunch today.

FWIW: Tobi mentioned that if he had to do it all over again, he would still build the admin and business logic of Shopify in Ruby on Rails, but would probably build their liquid rendering in Rust or something like it

No

Upvoted.

OP seems to miss the point that most everyone - or at least everyone I know - that uses Tailwind already knows CSS to a large degree. In addition, everyone I work with would rather spend time writing code than messing around with CSS and trying to name classes (great point you make, and I fully agree)

For the low price is just $89, you can sit in a seat in the quiet section.

Full post from Jack Conte's Instagram post:

"Hi everyone - I have some sad news to share: today, Patreon is doing a layoff of about 80 employees, about 17% of our team. This was ultimately my decision, so I wanted you all to hear directly from me about the reasoning.

Before I do, I want to say two things: first, today will be painful for many people, and I am deeply sorry to the incredible teammates who will be leaving Patreon - they are good, kind, creator-first, exceptionally talented, and smart people.

And second, I remember how nerve-racking it was when I was a full time creator - before starting Patreon - to watch companies that I depended on go through moments like this. So for those of you who rely on Patreon for your business and communities: I want to assure you that the company is making this move precisely for that reason - so we can continue to be a rock for your business.

As the world has recovered from COVID lockdowns and entered a broader economic slowdown, it has become clear that the original plan we built doe he year, to support outsized growth through the pandemic, is no longer the right plan for the company.

I take full responsibility for choosing that original path forward, and for the resulting changes today, which will be so difficult for our team.

It's important to me that we continue to deliver for our creators and patrons with new features and products like native video, new content creation and organization tools, a wold-class mobile experience, and new ways for creators to grow their membership and strengthen their communities. To ensure that we make progress on that roadmap, we are increasing our investment in product, engineering, and design, which means decreasing our spend on other ares of the company.

Ad difficult as this is fo our team, I know this is the right thing to do for Patreon, because it ensures that the company maintains a position of strength, even through an economic downturn, while continuing to deliver for our creators.

If you want to read more about this decision, I just published the internal note I sent to our team this morning, and it's linked in my bio. I'm going to stop posting here for a while to be 100% present internally for our teammates at the company. But I promise to come back in a bit - I will see you all soon.

- Jack"

Reads more like: "DOE to spend toilet paper money to advance domestic geothermal energy." given the pet projects of members of congress eclipsing this by many multiples.

Not really. This is the type of statement that would make the stock of the company drop further for the simple reason of being honest, transparent, and truthful.

Having done the merry go round of different languages, it also feels great gaining expertise in an individual language and to utilize new (release) capabilities of that the language.

Reminds me a bit of the Dollar Milkshake Theory

Timely post as this is something I have been quite interested in, and starting to explore. I'd love to see some sort of list of smart home automation/devices that would fall into the safety buckets, and why. Something like:

- Safe

- Medium safe

- Not safe

- Do not do

Now tell me about the relationship between health insurers and hospitals, and how they engage in pricing.

So, let me get this straight. Our government is ok with Marijuana but not ok with nicotine? Amazing times we live in.

Damn. For a second there I was hoping Apple was going to take on real estate brokers.

Sounds like a story I heard about people sending task rabbit'ers to stand in line at 6am for a "Cronut" at some shop in SOHO.
