I'm sure our marketing team will love resolving git conflicts to draft their email copy.

Are you able to comment at all about Indigo's products? Is it something people should keep an eye on? I've interviewed there before and it was difficult for me to understand if what they were doing was actually beneficial to farmers.

You can be productive with Nest.js but I'd hate to promote it as a great solution. It's really a mashup of other JS libs with Nest bringing a rather convoluted form of dependency injection and http action decorators. You can build your own soup rather easily without the Nest overhead and with better choices. It's not the worst place to start, there's just better shit out there.

Do you agree with everything your current employer does?

We've no-hired people for exactly this characteristic. It's great to have strong opinions but forcing rewrites due to that is typically not what you want in coworkers.

Isn't this true of any job - If the world was all software engineers it'd be missing lots of stuff too. I get the point you're making about nomads being (more) dependent on others, but I honestly think that's true for everyone now.

There's a smell if containers are forcing you to radically change your ops strategy. Networking between boxes doesn't change, networking between processes on the same boxes is slightly more complicated but you can always fallback to host if really needed. None of that pushes you to use kube / swarm, they solve completely different issues.

Not sure what 'containerize' means in this context, but adding a Dockerfile, building the image and changing your box to use docker should definitely not reduce velocity or increase deploy time to half an hour...

Wonder if I'm the only one surprised by their actual revenue model. I had always assumed they made money off loan interest from consumers which they do, but it turns out over half of their 2020 revenue came from merchant fees instead.

I just went through the Peloton flow to see for myself and indeed there's a 0% APR option for 3 years so it's clearly being paid for by Peloton.

It also explains to me why people might choose to use Affirm even if they could afford the upfront cost.

I fail to see how any of this reasoning is compelling when deciding for a startup

Any type of project. Before Tailwind existed, I used a similar system but Tailwind is obviously more complete than what I'd roll in a week. I really don't think of it as a framework since you're still specifying which CSS properties you want to apply, just indirectly via classes.

At least explain why you think it qualifies as satire

It's Twitch policy

If anyone's looking for a mobile notes app that syncs with git, I highly encourage checking out GitJournal. I used it for a bit before building a personal app specific to my workflow.

Are you still bundling libgit? I remember checking this project out and was impressed you got the setup to work with flutter. It's actually a reason I switched to react native because there were pure JS git implementations [0].

Yes it'd be like Hasura.

There's also libraries (usually in-house) that let you query for every relation off that specific table. You can imagine how it works just match up the fks and expose in the graphql schema. That gives you control of what not to expose as well.

Not YC itself, but other investors that have an actual board seat and invested more than 125k likely have a vested interest in seeking a lucrative acquisition.

You're assuming he setup the geofence on his partner's phone when that's not a detail actually mentioned. We just know his wife happens has location sharing enabled.

Gotcha. I expected the bar to be relative to the other produce. I guess I don't really care that a vegetable is 105/200 days remaining because the total length of that specific vegetables season is kinda irrelevant in this context.

I really don't understand what the green bar represents. Also how do some vegetables have 675 days left, wouldn't that be all year?

I was just looking for an s3 browser. Will give this a whirl

(because it's an ad)

Although fairly well written content marketing.

That's a fair point, we'd have to compare projected growth vs. expected salary of new job. Certainly the benefit of working at large tech companies or rocketships.

My experience with smaller startups, was that it's impossible to determine if the options would be worth $0 or $$$.

Why wouldn't you be obtaining the equivalent amount of options at the next job?

Let's say your vesting schedule is 4 years w/ 1 year cliff, it's only necessary to stay 1 year. Thereafter you're not 'losing' options by leaving.

We've used Knex and it works well provided you don't need features such as repeatable migrations.

Imo you should actually differentiate your migrations between schema changes and data mutations. That allows you to use a more powerful tool like liquibase/flyway for schema yet use your preferred language (JS/TS) for data mutations which might need other libraries.

I'm curious if people have tried this approach before.

Idk if this is necessarily Reddits fault because we've had tons of problems implementing universal links on iOS both via 3rd party and natively ourselves so I lean towards blaming the ios platform than the developer.

Wow that's mind boggling. It's possible that's a whitelabeled app developed by a different company which has greater overall reach.

But yes, this is exactly why Apple's subjective enforcement of invisible policies is so enraging - it's like you need to negotiate some secret backdoor deal just to get your app into the store.

An issue I haven't seen previously discussed is Apple's enforcement of their "Business" guideline (3.2) which effectively prevents certain b2b apps from making it onto the App Store because the app is supposedly not available to a wide enough consumer audience.

This is a very subjective policy because popular b2b apps such as Slack, Zendesk, etc which have a wide reach are allowed, but more industry specific b2b apps are rejected even if our theoretical user base spans 10s of thousands of people simply because only clients of the business are able to use the app.

And btw this policy is not actually encoded in their rules[1] but 3.2 is the code they cite when rejecting your app. The rejection wording is as follows [2]:

"During our review, we found that this app was designed for a specific business or organization and not for general distribution on the App Store. Business apps available on the App Store are meant for use by a wide variety of external customers around the world.

As this app is not intended for general distribution, it cannot be made available on the App Store. We encourage you to review the other ways to distribute your business app and choose one that better meets your business needs."

If you ping your heroku instance every 5 minutes it won't go to sleep and you'll still be within the free tier limits.

Recently played with https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook as well and was very impressed.

Interesting service and really nice homepage design. I wasn't aware of https://www.recreation.gov.

How does this help combat bots? Wouldn't they reserve campsites beforehand even if we're armed with notifications?
