I guess this is the dilema of all programming languages, to port stuff on cross platform with very low to no effort. The content composition method, whether it is markup language or Class.Resource.References, would matter less.
Exactly, initially we try to ditch data storage, lets say we do it by encrypting db and syncing to a cloud service, then expect it syncs on other devices when we're about to use the app. This would be just CRUD. Background processes would be a whole different problem to tackle with. I still can't envision a self-hosted decentralized backend on trivial devices.
The decentralized domain is interesting to observe. I find this try ambitious. But as others state it, technicalities to run something on your own, are not yet just as simple as having an app on your device, underlying factors make it inpersistent for any individual.
What I think one of most potential future, low code or no-code will be last resort of hosting stuff somewhere affordably. Given how WordPress introduced 1 century subscription. With the complexity of systems there is no such thing as simple server hosting.
To me it feels like, rare and smart ones, trying to penetrate giant markets with all in one solutions. I'm not even mad. But find it hard to comprehend who would make such change. Probably they want to test their patience and expect considerable userbase in 30 years, finally monetize it.
It is really annoying how substack hides or blends the Continue reading link when authors ask for readers to convert into subscribers. At least clicking outside modal should be considered "continue reading". I find this as aggressive subscriber hunting.
It would not be healthy to frame failure (which involves pain, bad feelings) a good thing. Considering mistakes a teacher would also be a mistake. Nice that it worked for you but considering humans as complex as they are the same prescription would not apply to all.
Nothing changes much, you start looking for inner peace initially, get away from noise. The experience now lives with you as far as you are alive. A huge mark on your brain which you revisit each time you are about to make a new decision. If you become sick from rushing to create some value, you slow down, get more consistent, move slow and safe. Otherwise you keep same speed until you hit a wall, then the damage will be much higher compare to the previous ones.
Everything comes at a cost. If a company has breaching issues to leak passkeys they will have bigger troubles. As many suggest the main problem this attempt of FIDO alliance tries to solve is "Passwordless accounts". Trusting passwords to password managers is a problem at raise. I guess this solution would mitigate password mess for next 10 years. Then by moving forward I believe tech sector would also be able to satisfy security guru's too, hopefully.
Thanks for taking time to reverse engineer how Figma works on background. Wondering if info like saving buffer changes to DynamoDB are published by Figma on a blog or you just inspected this behavior in browser, the same for S3 and postgress?
After all, Figma is an excellent product except the loading time on existing documents 5mb or more, design files, take time to open up reminding me Photoshop 7.0 days.
Having it running is more complex than to be put as: All you need is a Web browser and Docker... This makes it sound like average users make use of Docker everyday.
Definitely admiring how he finds motivation to keep creating value. He has excellent discipline. Many will still not know who he is or what he created.
Huge distances in-between your predictions. Why approach it as Chinese big tech when it is us earthlings developing tech? Not that public stops trusting tech but it should not become a burden to give or take trust. Full remote, I guess was always here, we just allowed it once in a while, in rotations, I guess if a company has top MRR, ARR, wont be caring about it. I believe tagging not a good practice, makes no sense at all, even creates disgust.
Probably everybody does it for themselves. So Tesla tries to have solely vision FSD while Waymo I guess does what you suggest. However seeing with lidar is not like vision only. Maybe at somepoint they share their code as OSS, probably not or very late.
Honestly it would feel magic back in 2009. Currently there are huge waves of changes. Everyone trying to offer utopian ecosystem. If the tendency is to gather community, it seems they need to chase companies given that many have somewhat stable stacks. Reshaping existing projects requires way more sacrifices. For example the major shift of Vue 2 to Vue 3, disrupted entire plugins ecosystem for Vue 2. People barely get motivated rewriting same thing for sake of composition api while options API remained. Idk exact reasoning, but there is a huge tech debt on Vue 2 plugin ecosystem. So again sacrifices, sacrifices.
Since fraud is a broad problem to tackle with and it requires individual awareness. It challenges densely education of the users rather than technical enhancement which ends up on OTP and 2FA. Honesty of the point of view of OP is the most attractive part of the article which leads one to complete reading. Then focus on the domains varies on readers interests to discuss.
I was expecting OP to keep blaming database choice given that their opinion on decision making is critical. But they seem to give lots of praise to the databases full text search features. Appearantly he was judging Heroku's choice of database, which I guess would not be a random one. Can not grasp the incentives of why it is put like that in the article. Though dramatizing is a nice contour to have but gives away prejudice bias, as this comment does for me.
Eventually it will be the same everywhere but for sake of economy (stakeholders), staff and customers pay the price, always. By time they find the bottleneck they will be hiring as crazy then.
It is, hope looks like is not enough, then you start doing something, again someone comes in to buy and monetize it. It became foggy with the currents. Maybe with the space in equation and infinit possibilities things may get exciting again.
