thanks!
dukedougal··on Ten Years of Worthless Side Projects
I'm now up to 20 years of - I don't say side projects - but real attempts to build something people want.

Still trying...... it hurts.

But theoretically you only need one to succeed, right?

One day I hope Andrew Warner from Mixergy will want to interview me about "my success" and I'll have a tale that will amaze him of how hard I tried for how long before finding "the one".

dukedougal··on OneLogin: Breach Exposed Ability to Decrypt Data
How was a central password store ever a good idea?
dukedougal··on Hacker, Hack Thyself
I built my latest application using Amazon Cognito for user management. My application and database don't ever know anything about the passwords. Amazon's problem.
dukedougal··on Atlassian acquires Trello for $425M
Downvoted for what reason?

I would have thought that making business connections on HN is just exactly the right thing to be doing.....

dukedougal··on Atlassian acquires Trello for $425M
@farkas I know this is off topic - but whilst you are here can I ask you a question?

If we have built a product that is a (we think) great fit to the Atlassian customer base, who would we speak to in order to create a partnering arrangement with Atlassian? Does Atlassian do such business partnering arrangements?

It's not an addon for an Atlassian product so does not seem to fit to the Atlassian marketplace.

dukedougal··on Docker Acquires Unikernel Systems as It Looks Beyond Containers
Maybe Unikernel Systems was a supernova from the early unikernel universe.

Its people will be the elements that go to make up a new generation of unikernel companies.

dukedougal··on Docker Acquires Unikernel Systems as It Looks Beyond Containers
They seem to have sold very early in the lifecycle of the Unikernel technology. Possible they've left billions on the table?

Were the terms of the deal disclosed?

Perhaps Unikernel Systems ran out of money and it was an "acqui-hire"?

dukedougal··on The Story of Infocom (2000) [pdf]
I loved Infocom adventures. Harry Potter owes a great deal to The Enchanter.
dukedougal··on An Open Letter to Brogrammers
I don't get the point of this article. There some smart women in technology, ok, and that is being used as a club to hit men with? Please explain.
dukedougal··on Fat JSON
First world problem, man. Important only to the performance obsessed. Most developers concerned about this have too much time and not enough commercial imperative.
dukedougal··on Ask HN: I need help. I'm struggling. Advice welcome.
If you're health is going to recover then sorry to say it but these are minor problems and will pass. They are the biggest problems of your life so far - I acknowledge that. and I do not dismiss it. Wife leaving you, friends on drugs, suicide, cancer, bankruptcy, betrayal, death, disillusionment are some of the sorts of shit life will deal you as a function of age.

Ask long as you recover from your illness, get it in perspective and start fighting the fights life will be giving you from here. Man up. Good luck.

dukedougal··on Ask HN: Idea Sunday
It would be trivially easy to put the front end on HT track.
