i tried to use it & kept getting stuck! so turned to Clerk, which was easier to integrate

Small things like:
- the install script uses npm, I ran into a few dependency conflicts :(
- the redirect url for google auth didn't work for me. (using github codespaces)
- then gave up after that

Happy to work with you all to fix these small things! Overall it looks good and I would use it later if i'm not in a rush!

"What would you like to build with me today?" Sounds like a one day pony. Sure, its there every day, but every day its a new pony. At the same time, ChatGPT came before, and I pressume most programmers evaluated it for coding already, so fronting with "gimme a small daily coding challenge" doesnt hit the target at all. I think it asking about a project I have in mind, with an implication of "I'll keep wotking on it for you as long as needed" would be much better suited.
The $500k is guaranteed if the startup grows enough, but if it doesn't, then that's how they control the risk.

IPO isn't entirely the success metric though. Reddit was founded in 2005, the first batch, and IPOed this year. That's almost two decades and it's one of the more successful YC stories - nobody at the time would have touched a non-profitable company led by someone below 40. YC started the cliche of founders being 20 year olds who have no plan for profitability. And many VCs just copied it, snatching all these young, brash, YC rejects, which is what gives the demographic a bad reputation.

Also I'd say the exit most people want is an acquisition. There's plenty of those too. You get cash right away, and so do the VCs. You don't get into the billionaires list, but the thing is with IPO, you can't even cash out a lot of it without the stock tanking. IPOs are often the option because some companies get too big to acquire.

And the other thing is you don't leave with $0 on failure - you get experience, the resume item, possibly a job later. Acquihires might even mean it's a good job. Sam Altman didn't IPO but he got a job with YC after his exit, and now he's a superstar founder.

And YC the most successful by a large margin. 500 Startups might be the next best. 500 has more small exits than most other accelerators. They're more marketing based, while YC is product based. So it may fit different people.
“Quest” is an odd word choice for making this point. To me “quest” very strongly implies having a clear singular goal, whereas e.g. “journey” does not necessarily imply having any particular goal in mind.

FlexIO is (I think) powerful, however... I'm not sure if it's me or the way they describe it with all the bit-serialisers/shifters interacting - but I grok the PIO assembly a damn sight easier than FlexIO.

would it be possible to just work on writing everything down and use all the time it takes?

I imagine the complicated part would grow wordy enough to stick out like a sore thumb.

Perhaps eventually have a freelancer turn it into technical documentation. The stuff we admire (if done right) but hate to do. (or in my case clueless how to)

Thanks for explaining that. Hard to argue against direct evidence I guess.
What happens to the average learner when they graduate from high school or a degree program? Their “real” learning often starts. Without proven skills and experience, they enter the workforce at entry-level jobs they may be overqualified for, or worse, they get passed up for positions they may be a great fit for.

Not only do the learners lose, so do employers. So how can we provision learners with better life-ready signals, ones that employers and others can see, evaluate, and validate? It starts with the learner.

I’m doing project like this for more then a decade now.
What worked?

- evaluate the new team on some thing very special for you for example try to take from the 20% you never realized

- if this work don’t feel you are on right rails.

- go next creating the smallest project that bring the most value to you

- piece by piece you will have replaced the most important parts of the old system

What didn't worked?

- if the management is not very convinced and involved

- if the old system doesn't have api or in general has poor interoperability

- don’t change target, try to keep the target frozen until the job is done and testable
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited-slip_differential is the general answer, I believe. Interesting reading whether it's the correct answer or not. The section labelled "electronic" is probably more applicable to the Subaru.
Probably not going to see this comment but if so can you answer these questions. Have you shopped around for an alternative? Do you guy shave complicated stuff like tailing an origin of an order back to a specific sales person? Do you need 3 way matching? Do your customers prefer using an ERP you're always working with? What are the things holding you up your execution?

On the ERP stuff I've done a lot and it's usually the reason stuff gets buggy and 'hard'. Stuff like say realistically you have to complete an order of say 10 linear feet of rope but it comes in packs of 6 so they have to order 2 but the sales rep said they'd sell the remainder on another work order etc etc.

The ERP you might have one guy that's on oracle, another on something custom, and these systems all interface differently.

Another is in the quoting process if you are making quotes that are timely or have an expiration. Some things just take a lot of foresight when you set out to make them.
The point was that unless an engineer has practiced implementing designs exactly, they often miss the details and don’t _see_ the details they’ve missed.

I say this as someone who used to not see the details, and then worked at a company where it was expected that we implement designs exactly. Ever since then I can’t _not_ see UI design details.

It’s like shopping for a car, once you’re biased towards a specific model you see it everywhere.

> a self survey of 4,000 people on what they thought about remote work, of which 2,600 of the respondents didn't even work remotely.

To emphasize on this a bit, before the pandemic had I been given a similar survey I probably would have said the same things. But being 100% remote was a miserable experience for me in the long run. Everyone's millage varies for sure, but for me I was surprised at how quickly working from home all the time became a burden and a mental health drain rather than a boon. Having to dedicate a section of my already limited living space to work, not having a psychological separation between my work and my home, no commute time to switch modes, not being able to keep an ear on the stuff the rest of my team was doing, the lack of tone conveyable in text, meetings full of "I... what I was... I mean... No you go first", things that should have been a 5 minute in person conversation became hours of async back and forth chat messages, the increased presence of outside managers dropping in on discussion occurring in team channels, or co-workers that really needed to have more direct supervision and weren't self aware enough to see it. And those are the tangible things and doesn't even get into the social aspects. No I'm not an extrovert and never have been.

Yes, I prefer flexibility and the option to work from home when I need it. But the grass does always look greener on the other side, and it's easy to imagine all the perks of something when you don't have it and dismiss any possible negatives.
> Of course she would know healthy food exists: her parents show her. That is fundamentally different from a paid message.

Advertising does not necessarily imply paid, but let's go down that road. How do you, and therefore your child, know how to obtain the food that your children eat?

In my case, I go to the grocery store. But I only know that there that grocery store to go to because they spend quite a lot of money to let it be known that they exist. And when in the grocery story, they spent quite a lot on marketing to let it be known what I can buy, healthy or otherwise.

It is advertising all the way down.

> Talking about decent adverts might as well be talking about how "true" communism hasn't been tried.

Well, of course it hasn't been tried. Communism is a work that imagines what life could be like if we achieve post-scarcity. Star-Trek is another adaptation of the same idea. Outside of science fiction, trying either at this juncture is fundamentally impossible. We have not yet succeeded in fulfilling the necessary preconditions that would allow trying.

Yes, indeed, there is hopeful progress towards that goal. We have, according to the UN, achieved post-scarcity in the area of food. It is quite possible that we will get all the way there some day. But not yet. Its time has not yet come.

So what purpose would a "Star-Trek hasn't been tried!" ad actually serve? Just to state the obvious? Perhaps you see it as some kind of gorilla marketing tactic to convince people to watch Star-Trek, or to what you really said, read about the imagined world of communism, because you find it to be entertaining and think others will too?

> One of us is talking about hypothetical ads for fantasy products. The other is talking about actual ads.

Doesn't Rust's `no_std` make it easy to throw out idioms you can't use (or don't like) and just keep the syntax and most of the tooling? I recall that one of Linus's preconditions for inclusion was that Rust's default of panic!ing on allocation failures had to be overrideable.

Hey, CTO of a healthcare company here, been doing the CTO thing for over a decade, and in tech leadership for nearly three.

My advice is to work to find a partner that has both deep technical experience (they should write code most days) and practical business experience. That's hard to do, but unless you can, I think you're better off not bringing dev in-house.

Whatever that person's title is, make sure they have some skin in the game. They should be able to understand business goals and recommend technical strategies to meet them.

I suggest finding someone who is at a point in their life and career where they are not using the opportunity to build their resume, but are instead focused on the success of your business.

It takes an experienced leader to resist the pressure from hype marketing and developers to use the new shiny, and instead focus on software that will have a shelf life of 5-10 years.

There are seemingly irrelevant technical choices that you won't understand (like the choice of a UI framework) that can end up costing you millions in "framework churn" (I've directly experienced this several times). This is where it takes a leader that is aligned with business goals rather than interesting or popular tech-of-the-moment to make the tough and unpopular calls.

Technology is the beating heart of your company. Evaluate your technical partner with the same rigour you would use for your cardiologist. You're placing an enormous amount of trust, and I'm not being hyperbolic when I say the wrong decision can cause your company to flatline.
Gelsinger would be shooting blind and in order to cut enough to force compliance he would ultimately be sabotaged as the entire workforce unites against him unless he had the ability to bring in a few thousand loyal soldiers to manage every unit. He’s got the much harder job of ferreting out deep corruption and incompetence that perniciously hides in corners protected by knowing whose buried what bodies. Rough job that he cannot possibly accomplish. Instead he’s probably trying to root out these toxic messes and quarantine them in safe environments where they can be productive enough to realize ROI but disempowered and segregated while he works on fixing the broken systems and teams that got Intel to this point. Maybe this layoff was in his back pocket waiting for the right time to cut the shit loose with cover or maybe he failed to realize that should have been his first order of business and this was a desperate move to stop the hemorrhaging and Intels books are going to be even worse two years out when the consequences of firing qualified staff begins to manifest.

Here is a success story from a unicorn startup. They started a traditional business; there was no IT at that time. The business was good, and they had already made a lot of money.

They want to create a digital product for the business. They first hire a local person and freelancers. Then they work together to build the product. The local person acts like a CTO and product lead. Freelancers are developers. Then they want to speed up the project, they hire an offshore/outsourcing company - a quality one from a developing country. They worked very hard, with fast responses.

After a while, the product is really working; they start in-house devs. The original local person became CTO. They hire product people(product managers, product owners) locally(cause they know about business requirements...). And they grow massive devs in developing country without visiting that OR just only 1 or 2 on some year.
We are, but that hasn't seem to have made a difference...

I learnt from a billion agave[1] project that in Chile where it touches 55 degree centigrade, they are the most resilient apps that thrive. In peak draughts, they're reviving techniques of fermenting the leaves as a fodder replacement. Tequila, I hear is mostly agave.

In native Karnataka, India they use the fibres for ropes, the tips as needles, the dehydrated leaves as roof tiles. A large suit manufacturer until recently would buy off local agave for very strong and lasting fabric. I learnt that a hammock weaved from the fibre would easily last 10 years in sun and rain.

Amazed to learn of the edible properties!

I wouldn't usually do this, but...

1. It sounds like a scam

"Get paid to view content" has traditionally been a scam business model. It only attracts a very specific type of user. And by now that type of user has learned the truth that you don't really end up earning anything worth it while you may have to click through some risky -if not outright illegal- links.

2. It looks like a scam

The site itself looks like something a scammer would put together quickly. That out-of-the-box no-effort blue-purple gradient. That generic padlock image. The fluffy, generic text which repeats the typical sentences you'd find in a scam site. The lack of care.

3. It feels like a scam

"Earn real money" and then "We have 3 users and $4.85". Doesn't give much confidence.

Then you go see the links and they are your own various profiles on social media and then a bunch of completely generic links. And that feels, if not like a scam, like the sort of thing a "SEO content writer" would come up with to earn some attention.
I used to work for a large multinational ($80b market cap; 55k+ employees) with a penchant for in-house development because vendor exhaustion is real and under-discussed in the business world.

Their trick for doing it was recruiting heavily in regions of the world with great junior dev talent at comparatively low costs (in their case Latin America, but it could be eastern Europe or elsewhere) and have them work with more senior middle and top managers to guide the architecture and technology decisions. At any given time, if you took a snapshot, you'd simultaneously have numerous SaaS subscriptions, numerous devs as described working to replace those same SaaS subscriptions, and numerous completed projects that, if purchased on the market, whether SaaS or not, would have cost exponentially more than the developers' salaries. No freelancing, no subcontracting, only proper employees - but yeah, you need to make the economics work and your milage will vary.

Full disclosure: I have since left that company and work as a consultant doing precisely that kind of work for others, it's only fair to note

I'm gonna go out on a limb here without knowing much about your situation and say that you're intuition about "...our current solution seems like a straightforward CRUD app, I fear the devil is in the details" is spot on. CRUD is inflexible when modeling processes. It doesn't have time as a core part of its design.

But the problem isn't about the details, it's that most developers don't want to actually do the job that they're trying to automate with software. They won't shadow the warehouse workers, they won't pick product, they won't work with the tools to do the job. Thus, they won't understand how to write software that models your businesses processes because they won't venture to experience the pain and gain the knowledge. They'll just end up building a CRUD app that uses the latest frameworks and "Best Practices", which, unfortunately, have nothing to do with making your business adaptable.

Sure, there's exceptions, but they're hard to find and demand a high pay because of the daily value they create. Hi ;)

You can attract experienced developers to a non-glamorous industry like logistics (I would LOVE THIS JOB). They don't even need to be experienced developers, they need to be willing to gain empathy by "going and seeing" the work to model it correctly.

Look for people who want to create value, who want to "go and see" for themselves before writing any software. The curious shall inherit the earth.

You don't need to hire a bunch of people, so pay well.

I hate saying this, but marketing is everything. Start posting on LinkedIn. I know. Everyone hates it. But software developers are on it. And so are tons of people looking for jobs.

When you do finally hire someone to do the work, go live every day. And the only way to do that is to identify small wins in the processes. Start chipping away at the bottlenecks. This is the way.

Good luck. You're not alone. So many people have the problems you're experiencing.

> k8s is complex, if you don't need the following you probably shouldn't use it:

I use it (specifically, the canned k3s distro) for running a handful of single-instance things like for example plex on my utility server.

Containers are a very nice UX for isolating apps from the host system, and k8s is a very nice UX for running things made out of containers. Sure it's designed for complex distributed apps with lots of separate pieces, but it still handles the degenerate case (single instance of a single container) just fine.
That's my go-to these days, but sometimes I like to see a diagram from this one: https://regexper.com

I've just slowly learnt it by experimenting with it over the past few years. People have mostly mentioned matching, but I use it more for string manipulation.

I'm still not as intermediate a programmer as I'd like to be, so it's great when I need to invert a design decision for example. A similar code structure in multiple places, maybe across multiple files. It also means I don't miss anything, like I would if I did it manually.
Downside with bootstrapping is you usually end up with 5% of the market. Someone else uses VC money to build a distribution engine, grabs 95%, and then acquires you. Usually bootstrappers are more well fortified and have a loyal community though.

The downside of crowdfunding is you actually have to sell pretty hard to investors and you're also locked in to whatever you promise. Kickstarter locks you into stretch goals. Equity crowdfunding may lock you into a mini IPO situation, with inexperienced investors who put unwanted pressure.

Upside is you don't need to build a unicorn. Bootstrapping works best for something that is a small market, and VCs won't fight over small markets. Best example is something that only works in one country or one language, or say, a company that makes realistic 3D tree assets for CGI.
I don’t think this is fair but I also shouldn’t have skirted around a bunch of things by just saying “unclear reasons”.

To be more specific those accused of stoking up the mobs — characters like Robinson, Fox, Tate, Farage — have a prior agenda that is wider than this specific knife attack and it is suspected that the rioting, while ostensibly being in response to the knife attack, is really about airing old prejudices based on race, religion, and nationality (hence the Swift reference.)
