I do not see anything while dreaming. It is a constant source of slight anxiety as I can be quite conscious and the blindness is puzzling. In daily life I can project myself in some mental space (ie my kitchen) and perceive where the boundaries of things would be, but none of this process has anything to do with vision of sight. It's more like extend proprioception.

If you place your hand on a wall, then close your eyes, then remove your hand, I suspect you'll still feel where the wall is. Even if you picture something completely different in your head, the wall is still there I suppose? My guess is that my extend proprioception (or whatever the right name for this would be) is more fine tuned and apt than someone with a mind eye, but I can't really know. :|

I also do not hear sounds while dreaming, but then again I don't really have an inner monologue anymore, that went away at the same time I learned programming and I don't think it's a coincidence. I do verbalize in my head when reading conversation-like stuff (HN, slack, etc.), but you won't catch me with any internal monologue while reading ingredients, jira tickets, etc.

While dreaming, I can have conversations but there's no gradual arrival of content, it's instantaneous, it was not yet "said" or it was.

I did, but I was going when I did so. Spent more time outdoor looking far, then close, then far, etc. I've become aware of the duration of the transition in focus and it now serves as a warning side. Whenever it seems to take longer to focus on far-away things I know I need to do some more exercice. Went from needing glasses (which I declined) and seeing everything blurry to having a great vision I can't complain about.

But as things get more complicated, where does the business logic live? Maybe in the database as stored procedures? It's less crazy than it sounds.

I've worked with a bunch of systems like this before. One was just a collection of PHP scripts that would trigger SQL queries. Another one was all lambdas and Cron jobs on top of mssql stored procedures.

If you have a decent team and if you use version control as intensely as you would with code, I have no reason to believe this cannot work. To be fair, those condition are true regarding of tech and architecture.

What you cannot do easily though is pivot, hire, and scale. This is what bit those teams I worked with and why those specific systems are no longer around.

Some of what you describe reminds me of EagleMode, you might want to try it out.

DealerBreacher | Montreal, Canada | Marketing Technologies for Car Dealerships | Onsite or REMOTE | Full Time

DealerBreacher is part of Trader.ca (AutoTrader.ca) and works closely with multiple marketing agencies around the world. We build SEM technology specific to car dealerships and inline with their realities and challenges. Our technology is unique and still in its infancy, with a lot of potential left.

We're looking for 2 backend developers with experience in Laravel and/or NodeJS/Typescript, and good knowledge of SQL.

Experience setting up deployment pipeline with automated testing is a plus. Experience with Adwords API, Microsoft Ads API or Facebook Marketing API a plus. Experience with Google Pub/Sub and Google BigQuery a plus.

To apply, email antoine.theriault-brunet@trader.ca with your resume or portfolio, and hacker news in the subject.

Was this just shipped? If so, congrats!

Might be just me, but when I compare the feature list with something like Monday.com (which can be configured to do the given use case with its internal automation tool), I really can't imagine paying $29 per user. That's at least double what I would be ready to pay, especially since I don't see any integrations and there's no mention of webhooks to build on top of.

So many negative comments in here. Just wanted to let the maintainers know we use the library in multiple projects without issue and that we appreciate deeply the work that goes into it!
