As a teenager, I found Terry Pratchett’s email (in a newsgroup IIRC?) and sent him a thank you note. I told him how much his books made me love reading. He answered me with a short and sweet email. It was an important internet moment for me!

great post, thank you! I recently started showing and selling my art (I do plotter art and paintings). It’s both exciting and frustrating at times to see how pieces “land” or completely miss.

I can’t be exact and thorough in a HN comment. I will just state that the happy path is too narrow. The ecosystem needs a big push for a better DX and a better direction.

Ruby should look at how the PHP ecosystem was modernized. Sure the syntax has always been awful and is even more degraded now, but the ecosystem is globally in a much better place.

slop excepted, writing is a very difficult activity that has always been outsourced to some extent, either to an individual, a team, or to some software (spell checker, etc). Of course people will use AI if they think it makes them a better writer. Taste is the only issue here.

Questions for people who migrate off-cloud:

1. How many nodes do you have? 2. Did you install anything to monitor your node(s) and the app deployed on these nodes? If so, which software?
