Just like normal money right?

I'd love to be working around loads of smart people again and honestly kinda looking forward to having larger decisions made around me more than just me making all of them cos it will take away the biggest stress I feel internally rn. Does that make sense? I would prefer hands-on I think cos that's what I know 100% I'm good at but i quite liked leadership responsibilities too so not super averse to that site either.

Sure, I'd be happy to speak feel to DM me - my username is the same everywhere including gmail.

Thanks for sharing, these all make complete sense. How did you find the process of applying - was your startup leadership experience seen as a positive or mostly ignored for whatever the role actually requires?

Hey all Krishan here one of the builders behind MDTP. we built MDTP as a modern take on the classic MillionDollarHomePage some of you may remember from back in the day. It's build on Ethereum which means each 10x10 pixel block is an NFT you can buy and sell just like any other. Owning the token gives you permission to set content on the page. Have a look and let us know what you think!

Wheenver reading articles like this i love to replace words like software with electricity or something similar. All these industries are and will continue to be disrupted by whatever the latest innovation is. It's just that software is the latest big one to change things so dramatically. People say similar things about crypto and finance or ai and writing. It seems silly to think this has ever not been the case and will ever not be the case.

I don't think this works well with <noscript> tags and this makes me realise I dont actually know how <noscript> works with browsers

It's the syntax highlighting (you can copy paste your own code over the code thats there)

I think this is tailwind-ui (https://tailwindui.com/)

This happened to me a long time ago - i was making a "social" type product that was location based and a competitor launched theirs too but their founders were famous and they got loads of users straight away. In social, network effects matter so launching first does have a large benefit especially if the idea is new.

I gave up on the idea a few months later but kept an eye on the project. It didn't take off the way it was supposed to, and I have a feeling that if I was still working on my version I could have pivoted and taken advantage of what I was learning by watching them faster than they could have (they had so many users etc to support)!

And that was in social - in most other products network effects are nowhere near as powerful e.g. I tried linear.app for a side project even though i actually enjoy using lira at work. Since i have many projects it's easy to try new things on some and drop / change what doesn't work.

I think the "just ship it" oversimplification comes from the fact that getting user feedback is vital for most products. It doesn't mean that launching first is the goal though. The product I'm working on now is in a super crowded space (landing page creation) but it has an edge over others for a particular type of market (developers who don't want to mess around with UI, drag and drop etc but still want beauty and control) and even though the product is "ready" im not "just ship it"-ing because I'm busy "talking to users".

I've been working on everypage (https://www.everypagehq.com), a declarative landing page generator - you provide a json file and it will generate a landing page with your specification. its not ready yet but will have an mvp up in about a week. very exiting to be working on something new after many years of only working on day-job stuff.

Exactly! Although I was talking about 'soccer'

Ha, I should have thought to dive a bit deeper. I think the thought still makes sense though - I was just using football as an example, it can be extended to why did the Greeks build amphitheaters in the first place. It's not like one day they decided 'huge audiences must be great' - it must have started with smaller audiences and iterated into the big structures designed to hold larger audiences.

My point was we seem to be starting this iteration from scratch for a quite a few things.

I always try and imagine how big things became that way. We watch football in huge stadiums, but I like to think back to a time where people would just get together on Sunday and watch a match - and as they got more and more interesting, people decided that we need more space and built bigger and bigger stadiums.

It feels like this with all this 'sharing economy' stuff. Restaurants probably started off (many, many) years ago just being people inviting others over to eat - over time the best hosts started to charge more and more, and bought bigger and bigger places to host more and more people. Soon there were enough people doing this that it needed to be regulated.

It's like we're going in a circle.

I've lived in the UK my whole life and was not even aware forecasts could be reliably accurate so far in advance!

I've been using it on my main device since July and haven't had any of the problems you've metioned :S The only problem I have is the Settings app ocasionally crashes when I try to setup a new wifi connection. But I don't do that nearly often enough to be upset about it. That said, I haven't noticed any improvements. It seems the same (speed / performance) wise as 4.4 on my N5.
