> Why not just use Let's Encrypt?
ZeroSSL comes with significant advantages compared to Let's Encrypt, including access to a fully-featured SSL management console, an REST API for SSL management, SSL monitoring, and more.

This is where I shamelessly plug my project, Certera: https://docs.certera.io

I love LE, like really really love it. I was surprised to hear that certs were going from 2 to 1 year expiration and that made me really pause for a second to think about the lack of proper infrastructure around certificates, especially LE certs. I envision these short lived certs from LE/ZeroSSL needing some of the components that ZeroSSL mentioned above and much, much more. Eventually, if/when we have 1 week/1 day cert expirations, we'll need a certificate exchange system to better handle complex scenarios where other parties are involved (i.e. when doing client certs, SAML certs, etc.).
Your stack is great. If anything, I think many one-man SaaS will benefit from using k8s. That's the superpower of k8s, one person can go from 1node to 1000nodes if they need that scaling with minimal effort. Cobbling together shell scripts and tools for one or two servers is just as much work as using k8s, so long as you don't run your own and use a managed service. Best of luck, I think your list is pretty reasonable.
This story is fiction, Linux didn't exist in NeXT's early days. Jobs did offer Torvalds a job at Apple in 2000 to work on OS X. Torvalds turned it down because he despised Mach and refused to stop Linux development, which was a condition attached to the offer.

If you've been procrastinating writing that novel or playing that guitar or whatever, the best way to deal with it is to put half an hour on your calendar to just do it.

I actually think it's pretty cool that you are sharing your process. Some of what you have outlined about the process of getting to an MVP looks like solid info to my eyes (granted, that may just be announcing my own naivete).

I will note that there is a danger that sharing the process could interfere with success of the product for various reasons. The big two are "conflict of interest" -- people may be hesitant to sign up knowing in advance you are likely to talk about them -- and that blogging about it may be more rewarding (in terms of positive attention and feel good experiences) than actually making the product, which could end up being counterproductive (if you let it).

I've looked your landing page over and I will suggest that good guidelines for how to socialize well with co-workers will be a critical part of making this work.

I was a homemaker for a lot of years and not understanding social norms for the corporate world was an uncomfortable experience for me when I had a corporate job. I have about six years of college and yadda, but I just have different life experience from the norm so it's been personally challenging for me to parse certain things.

So I think you will need to help people with that piece of it because a space of this sort can potentially go sideways. If this were my product, I would be gathering together good articles about how to do business socializing well, what are the pitfalls you most need to avoid, what are some best practices, etc.

I would also put together whatever articles I could find about the importance of making social connections and building trust to business success. That will be the value position: That your work force will be more effective if they can connect socially and sort out things people need to sort out that can impede effective communication, etc, at times at work.
It's interesting that the middle class started losing wealth and income stagnated in relation to the larger economy starting in 1971-1972, but most of the events from 1971 are lagging indicators. Eg, the CIA was actively keeping China from being able to obtain chips in the mid '70s. China was barely able to export anything until the late '80s - early '90s. The birth of the digital age is another good example, but tech didn't take over many jobs until the late '70s if not the mid '80s.

When analyzing wage stagnation in a finer detail: Going off the gold standard caused a rise in the stock market. Also, we have regulated food prices in the US, so the current metric we use to measure inflation isn't strongly correlated to a living wage. Meanwhile, people who are invested in the stock market and rental properties, aka the upper 10%, have seen a large boom in wealth. (Not just the upper 1% have had a rise in wealth.) Unless we have any other ideas that is being overlooked here, it does in fact look like going off the gold standard started this trend, and has only been amplified by trade and tech later on.

Could it be possible that unionized workers started shrinking in 1971? They're commonly cited by historians as a key element in the rise of working class wages, so it would be a good place to check to see if there is a correlation there.
> People have been reading books like this for thousands of years

This does not make it healthy.

Besides, it's wrong: very few people had access to books for "thousands of years" and almost always they were kept on a reading stand, both due to the weight and to keep them safe and clean.
The goal of a wealth management company (targeted at the very wealthy) isn't just "I want to beat the market". A wealthy enough person can live a comfortable life on savings account interest and still be wealthy when they die. The goals end up being a) beat inflation enough to cover my expenses and b) protect from any risk of not being wealthy".

I'm interested in your ethical position here.

Is there anything short of mass murder which you would feel morally opposed to? (And if not, why that? I mean, if you are only concerned with harmful effects, killing on a large scale has gotten us where we are now, right?)

Is potential, practical, harmful effects the right dividing line? Is it a clear line; is there any issue you are unsure about? Would raising a toast, or a statue, to Stalin in the Ukraine raise some qualms, even though the act itself would hurt no one?
Honestly, in the Haskell world, no one really complains about broken APIs

I don’t believe that’s true. The very existence of Stack and Stackage is testament to how significant the compatibility problems had become in the Haskell ecosystem.

Even if it were true, Haskell world is tiny and (in)famously has the motto “Avoid success at all costs”, so it isn’t necessarily a representative example of practices that would be effective in other contexts.

The advantage with a type system as explicit as Haskell’s is that at least if there is a breaking change in an interface you depend on, you get quite good information about where the problem is and what you need to do to fix it.

Also, breaking API changes happen in every language, on every codebase, ask the time.

Some people take backwards compatibility extremely seriously, and code that depends on their interfaces still works just fine many years after it was written. The pace of development is usually slower when robust standardisation is part of the process, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing given the stability you get in return.

At least with static types and a common linter I can refactor and be a hundred percent sure it works since it compiles

This is a common claim in the Haskell world, but of course it’s not really true. It always reminds me of Knuth’s famous quip, “Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it.”

So: I agree with you that there's a slippery slope here and it's worth being aware of.

But I disagree with you that reasonable countries can debate discriminating against gay people. The countries that do that are, in that way, lesser than the countries that don't. Seems pretty simple to me.
Those aren't the valuable parts though.

With Teslas, the exterior parts (like the panels) are the most valuable, because those are the parts in shortest supply for the kind of work that third-party repair shops can handle. If you have an issue with the battery, that's not something a third-party shop can handle.

Clearly, we lost the ability to form coherent sentences. Or at least the author did.

> According to Wikipedia, 0.04% vaccinations resulted in paralysis in the Cutter Incident, compared to 0.1-0.5% of wild type polio.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polio_vaccine#1950%E2%80%93195... : "The Cutter vaccine had been used in vaccinating 200,000 children in the western and midwestern United States.[76] Later investigations showed that the Cutter vaccine had caused 40,000 cases of polio, killing 10.[76]". So, 20% incidence; mentions 250 "paralytic illness", so 0.125% paralysis (no idea where you took the 0.04% - it does not appear in the Wikipedia text).

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polio#Paralytic_polio : "In children, nonparalytic meningitis is the most likely consequence of CNS involvement, and paralysis occurs in only one in 1000 cases." ; So, for children, the incidence of paralysis is 0.1%

Who got the cutter vaccine? Mostly children. See e.g. from https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2020/04/14/cutter-pol... "By April 30, within forty-eight hours of the recall,” Offit wrote. “Cutter’s vaccine had paralyzed or killed twenty-five children: fourteen in California, seven in Idaho, two in Washington, one in Illinois, and one in Colorado."

So, I just tried to check your numbers, and I couldn't; Could you post references?

But I also wanted to check my memory, and Wikpedia seems to agree with me, Go on, please do check my quotes.

For those thinking Walmart/Cheap router customers are more gullible, the Asus routers which are highly rated and used by tech savvy users (flashing custom ROM's) require accepting Trend Micro(TM) EULA's for most of the features on the box. Even QOS settings require user to accept specific EULA to share data with TM). Traffic monitor of your LAN also requires EULA.

The app that comes with Asus router is littered with button which if you accidentally click will make you accept EULA.
> The US healthcare is good only when considering those who can pay to access it.

False: The third leading cause of death in the US is believed to be preventable medical errors. You can go to the best institutions in the US to get care, along with seeing the very best doctors, but you cannot evade a statistic like that, even if you are in the 1%. See: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/05/03/4766361...

Also, this article: U.S. life expectancy will soon be on par with Mexico’s and the Czech Republic’s: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2017/0...

Also this: 42% of new cancer patients lose all of their life savings in two years because of treatment. The average amount a cancer patient lost was $92,098.: https://www.insider.com/half-cancer-patients-lose-their-enti...

The truth is that you can be in the top 1%, sitting on a mountain of cash, and still lose an unfathomable amount of money, even while insured, if you have cancer or a rare disease. Both of which are actually common.

It is not the doctors who are the problem here with respect to the medical errors: it’s the healthcare system. A good read on what’s wrong with the system is the short book Our Malady by Timothy Snyder.

If you want to stay alive long term, you may want to consult HealthData.org which analyzes each country’s healthcare systems in depth along with outcomes. The group is world renowned. Ironically, it is also the IMHE group that does the coronavirus statistics that everyone consults.

Personally, I am an American culturally, but I became an EU citizen (Croatia) over the US healthcare system. I never plan on working in the US. I do select the country I am working in now due to healthcare.
I don't think diving into kubernetes makes any sense for a 1 person shop if you don't already know it. People love to evangelize about k8s more than your average tech but it's just one (IMHO overkill) way to do things. A better bet I think is to leverage tools from cloud providers. They specifically offer many different easy to use scaling platforms for a premium for small/not experienced teams. Heroku has been mentioned a bunch, something like Elastic Beanstalk on AWS is super easy for the first year or two of a company. Or just go for a single machine somewhere and worry about the 5% chance you need more than that when that happens.
‘There will be shocks’: Yngve Slyngstad, Norway’s $1tn man
This blog post and the associated startup/investment are, I think, identifying a real issue but not acknowledging the underlying structural issues: most independent creators probably do need to sell a range of complementary products and services to make ends meet. At the same time, this is still no guarantee that all their offerings will add up to a sufficient living. Just because some independent newsletter writers are able to do so does not necessarily mean that this model will work for the majority.

I think it's fascinating to read about how this model has worked and has not worked for artists, starting with musicians and now extending across many different artist mediums.

William Deresciewicz's "Death of the Artist" book interviews 100+ "successful" artists on their experiences selling through digital platforms. It's particularly interesting to read about how the digital sales channels affect the type of art and the topics they chose to pursue. It isn't necessarily "dumbing down" art, but it does change the art itself.

The book started with this article: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/01/the-dea...

Pretty much. Adding devices are done through the UI these days. Manually adding them to config files is not recommended.

Deleting devices are a different story. The functionality of deleting devices doesn't work in the UI. I have literally had to grep the entire config directory to find all references in yaml files and delete them.
I was going to add the Soviets to the list, but I don't know enough about their mass treatment of German civilians in particular, though obvious they treated their own civilians badly enough. The Eastern front was more brutal, but brutality of soldiers against soldiers is not really an exception even in modern warfare as opposed to organized murder and abuses of enemy non-combatants on a strategic scale.
