As an employer I don't want to be constantly micromanaging work for you to get done. I want to make a list of tasks and have you work through them as fast as you can. If you're working for someone else, that means you're either taking longer than you need to take or you're not being honest about how quickly things can get done.

I don't want to manage people at that level. I want there to be trust so we can both grow the company together. How can I do that if I am competing with you for your own time?

If you haven't been watching the low-code/no-code space you may be in for a rude awakening.

These tools continue to get better every day. The target is only "good enough" and once reached it presents an outsized advantage over custom builds.

I fully expect no-code/low-code to grow in nearly permanent ways within many organizations.

Correct. Apple products work well together, but also make it a huge pain in the ass if you don't buy everything from them. The kids have apple products and we can't manage them effectively because we don't have apple devices. This provides a strong disincentive to want to give them any more money.

Samsung was only mentioned because are there any other real competitors to a full smart watch?

Garmin will likely keep me because running gps for 10+ hours at a shot is important. A full smart watch is far less of a priority.

(On Sunday I ran for roughly 10.5 hours, GPS active the entire time. When I finished, I had 33% of my battery left.)

As an avid ultrarunner, this is the first apple watch I'd ever consider. We aren't part of the apple ecosystem and I'm a bit resistant to join, so I am really excited to see the garmin or samsung equivalent to this

I'm using a track point with https://uhk.io/ but find it's a little too "fine" compared to the clunky manual nature of the keyboard. It feels like a piece of jewelry placed atop a heavy duty durable piece of hardware.

I love it, but think that a joystick more similar to what is found on an Xbox controller would fit the feel of the keyboard better.

This has been around for several years now at the least

Very curious what the path to revenue looks like for this

Then don't vote

No embellishment here. Today is 879 days in a row and I've tracked them all in an app I wrote.

The last 6 months, minus a week has been with 25 of them in burpee form.

I break them up throughout the day, it's not a lot of exercise at all. It feels like the bare minimum to stay in overall functional fitness shape. It's nice to have the strength to do whatever I'd like to do on tap anytime.

9 ultramarathons in a year may have been over-training however. (Towards the end it was getting to be one every other weekend just for kicks.)

I feel like I should weigh in on this because I seem to be one of the unlucky ones with heart impact.

I'm 40 years old and prior to catching covid on Jan 1st I was in the best shape of my life. I ran 9 ultramarathons last year, including a 40 mile run on my birthday. I was double vaccinated and boosted on December 7th, all Moderna. I do 100 pushups and 100 squats a day and was regularly running 30 miles per week. (50km)

Covid took me out for 3 full weeks and my fitness wasn't enough to power through it. The first symptoms were extreme fatigue but what is hanging on is chest pain. I have had to significantly cut back my training.

Only in the last week do I feel like I can get back to a more normal pace and that's with a measured concern to not overdo it. I always feel great at the time, but afterwards I'm paying the price.

I plan to continue training at a reduced effort to try and bring back my fitness. I've never had something that holds on for so long before.

Why would someone choose this over Microsoft's Power Platform or Salesforce's platform?

Interesting tool, but it seems like it doesn't have a clear audience in mind. The end user seems to be "everybody" and that's a hard sale to make.

Maybe you should start habits that change this? You can try to blame this on someone else, but it's your own choices that put you here.

I'm 16 years in and have followed a similar path. I graduated college in 2004, started my business in 2005 and never took a job.

Consulting has gotten me here and I've had up to 4 direct hires with me, but my dream has always been to run a product business. I must have attempted 3 dozen different ideas by this point.

But on Friday last week, we reached our 100th subscriber. Combined with other free products, we now have over 130k daily active users which sounds more impressive than it is. The MRR is still tiny and we still rely heavily on consulting projects that have been more and more difficult to line up.

It's been difficult, sometimes extraordinarily so, but we have such happy customers with huge amounts of positive feedback. It feels like this could really go somewhere. The fire still burns brightly within me though I don't know how. I'm determined not to let opportunities pass me by again.

I have never shared this anywhere.

I've long thought that developers don't realize how much value they really have. If they're in the right place, they're wickedly underpaid for the value they create.

I manage a few of these. One I have installed at a customer location acted very strangely until I ran it through a full factory reset.

I observed the UI was hiding the ability to apply updates, SSH was enabled, but it didn't allow me to connect and the name of it was changed to what looked like the MAC address.

No permissions were changed, the UDM was sitting unattended and the other administrative user did not update their password prior to this happening.

I am very paranoid and ended up doing a full reset as I was only able to partially administrate it.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

P.S. The full reset did seem to resolve it

I have a Chrome plugin with over 60k weekly active users. The only thing I can think to gain from it is a claim on the number of users of our products.

I sometimes dream of what a difference it would make if I could monetize it, but I see no viable path there.

I've run a smart consulting business for 16 years now. I've watched over the years as many I've worked with have gone to FAANG.

There may be opportunity costs involved, but there is no way FAANG can grab all of the top talent. Some of it is going to make its own way simply because they want to write their own rules.

What's actually involved in turning your site into a PWA? I don't see why this needs to be a subscription service vs a one-off or javascript library I can manage myself.

This is a blast from the past. This was my first venture into unix OS systems. I installed this on my parents Mac from a Jaz drive over SCSI. I was 16 years old.

Somehow I was able to get it to work, but I have memories of trying to compile programs and having to dive into the source and make changes with the blind confidence only a teenager could have. I'm surprised the system was as stable as it was

You know for sure there's a Strava running segment on that thing. I wonder what the longest distance (most times in a day) someone has done on that.

What is the recommended cocktail of extensions to use these days for optimal privacy? I have so much to think about that I haven't had a chance to dig in and learn what's best.

Tools are getting so good. I remember just a few years ago it was easy to make an impact in a hundred different directions.

This is impressive

This is a far cry from the 347 available in Power Automate. Still interesting to see.

Good luck making smart friends Amazon.

Much of this "painful year" are a direct result of his own words. It's easy to have seen this coming for a while now.

Elon seems eager to play the press and for some reason the media loves following his every move like he's a celebrity. There are plenty of others who work harder than he does who don't manipulate the media nearly to the same extent.

He would do well to step his ego out of his public interactions so these things can slide right off. That, and also stop making claims upon which are impossible to fulfill.

There are several more of these in the local area that only the locals know about. I've spent time exploring this park and others. Is it really that rare?
