HatchedLake721··on Ember.js 7.0
Ember is not Backbone or Marionette, both of them are stagnant. Ember’s actively maintained and improved with 6 week release cycles and LTS versions.

Ember on frontend is what Rails is on backend: less fashionable, opinionated, mature, and still useful when you value long-term app consistency over ecosystem hype and new JS framework of the month.

HatchedLake721··on Ember.js 7.0
We had the same issue hiring 8 years ago in the UK.

Since then I realized I’ll never require a react/vue/angular/ember/svelte/etc experience, just go for good JavaScript developers with frontend experience, framework doesn’t matter.

Took them a week or two to understand the Ember patterns that’s it.

I think we overcomplicate, all these frameworks are just slightly different ways how to build web apps, the core patterns are the same. Anyone experienced can pick any of these frameworks in matter of days or weeks.

Same on the backend, great if you’ve have experience with any of the express/hapi/koa/nest/fastify/hono, but if you don’t have experience with the one we use, it’s still fine. Hire good engineers, not good “framework” engineers.

/s ? Bun is not yet (ever?) compatible with Node. I'm sure if Node JS could trim the fat with breaking changes they'd be fast too

HatchedLake721··on Show HN: Tilde.run – Agent sandbox with a transactional, versioned filesystem
That's a very narrow and technical person's point of view.

You might need it open source, the majority of the world doesn't care, like they don't care Windows is closed source, or like AWS is a "cloud" running somewhere else. Both of them are building blocks that made "the world better and more robust".

Not a silver bullet, but did you look into isolated-vm? https://github.com/laverdet/isolated-vm

But generally, I think best bet is to offload such things to e.g. Lambda per tenant.

HatchedLake721··on $50 PlanetScale Metal Is GA for Postgres
My OS is in dark mode, I usually manually switch websites to light mode, but planetscale.com (except docs) doesn't have the switch.
HatchedLake721··on $50 PlanetScale Metal Is GA for Postgres
Same. Love PlanetScale, love their previous website design. I struggle reading white text on black backgrounds, so I don't even try to read their product pages or blog posts since there's no light mode :( yes I know about reader mode

It feels it went from "professional Stripe level design that you admire and it inspires you" to just "hard to read black website", not sure what for.

Try running an online poker site abroad and serve US players and find out how that'll work out for you.

Didn't work out well for Lithuanian/Canadian/Israeli Isai Scheinberg founder of Poker Stars, nor Calvin Ayre, the founder of the Bodog, who ended up on the FBI's top 10 list. United States reportedly sought* to seize around $3 billion worth of assets from 3 major online poker companies at the time.

HatchedLake721··on US startup Substrate announces chipmaking tool that it says will rival ASML
> If you show revenue, people will ask 'HOW MUCH?' and it will never be enough. The company that was the 100xer, the 1000xer is suddenly the 2x dog. But if you have NO revenue, you can say you're pre-revenue! You're a potential pure play... It's not about how much you earn, it's about how much you're worth. And who is worth the most? Companies that lose money!

HatchedLake721··on New Mexico is first state in US to offer universal child care
> Hate to break it to you, but many kids actually do better away from their parents than with them.

Is this based on something?

There's research left and right shows that children under 36 months at group nurseries are linked to increased aggression, anxiety, lower emotional skills, elevated cortisol (stress hormone), which is associated with long-term health and developmental risks.

Infants and children do better with one-to-one care at home by their parents and familiar faces, rather than strangers in a group setting.

HatchedLake721··on Show HN: I built the tool I wished existed for moving Stripe between countries
> I was probably considered one of these customers that you don't want to deal with.

Exactly, you don’t want to deal with developers who think >$299 is too expensive and end up building their own product.

You want to deal with business people who understand what’s at stake and won’t spare thousands to make this go smoothly.

HatchedLake721··on Show HN: I built the tool I wished existed for moving Stripe between countries
> The lower price is intended to attract customers

Lower prices attract customers you don’t necessarily want to deal with, e.g. https://blog.readme.com/getting-rid-of-our-cheapest-plan-a-m...

I agree with the commenter above, you’re too cheap, which signals that you have a disconnect with the value you provide, especially since you’ll have no recurring revenue.

I assume moving Stripe accounts is extremely business critical, and people will want to speak, understand and be hand-held by experienced professionals during this time.

Anyone who would consider paying $299 but not $1,500 to move their Stripe accounts is not the customer you want to deal with.

I was you until one of our customers asked to increase their invoice from $3k to $4k, saying “You've been instrumental to my sleep this week”. (this was data migration between two finance systems)

I think you’re hugely underestimating the value you offer.
