anderspetersson··on 10 years bootstrapped: €6.5M revenue with a team of 13
I would say k8s is a piece of software that enable teams to stay small. While the internals are insanely complex the developer experience is not that hard to learn.

anderspetersson··on Ask HN: Stuck at $500 MRR and Seeking Distribution/Marketing Advice
Congrats on reaching $500, some suggestions;

- Double down on whats working, go reseller only, will make it easier to advertise to highly converting customers.

- Improve the design on your page, it has many flaws.

- AI generated voice in your video makes the site more spammy and less professional.

- Talk to the users that integrated the widget and did not became customers, offer them the product for dirt cheap/free if they respond with valuable feedback.

anderspetersson··on Ask HN: Founders, how much automated tests do you write?
I write tests after fixing bugs to make sure they don't happen again. Mostly integration-tests.
anderspetersson··on Ask HN: One Person, $1M Company
Not sure what you mean with a "$1 millon company", but there are lots of single founders creating very profitable companies, check out indiehackers.com.

Default python3 version is now 3.7. Upgraded and found python performance improvement over py3.6 to be quite significant.
anderspetersson··on Google Cloud Global Loadbalancer Outage
curl -I www.domain.com

This might give you a clue, PushBullet seems to run behind CloudFlare though.

anderspetersson··on Google Cloud Platform is down
Status Dashboard: https://status.cloud.google.com/

Just in time for Google Cloud Next coming up in a week or so.

anderspetersson··on Ask HN: How do you deal with production issue PTSD?
Afghan veteran here.. The only thing that's worked for me for dealing with PTSD was talking about it with people who share similar experiences.

So this post is a great first step to fix it for you.

GCP also offers Cloud SQL with similar features to AWS Aurora.

Realized that client works sucks and quit my consulting gigs.

4x:ed SaaS revenue.

anderspetersson··on Lessons Learned with Stripe Subscriptions
Yeah, it's abit insane. I spent a week or so implementing this for my saas not long ago.

Hopefully this will change in 2018 for companies making less than 100k EUR/month: https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/business/vat/digital-s...

anderspetersson··on Lessons Learned with Stripe Subscriptions
Im getting (big) customers that prefer to pay by invoice instead of card.

I would like Stripe to handle these subscriptions as well, for example send a webhook on subscription end. But it seems like you can't add a subscription to a customer who dsn't have an active payment source. Any ideas?

anderspetersson··on HTTP/2 makes media loading 3–15 times faster on mobile
Still waiting on Cloudfront to support it. :(
anderspetersson··on Ask HN: Smaller alternatives to Kubernetes/Deis?
Flynn is nice. www.flynn.io
anderspetersson··on HTTP/2 Adoption Stats
If I'm not incorrectly informed AWS is using a modified HAProxy. HAProxy does not support HTTP/2 yet so yeah, it will probably take some time.
anderspetersson··on Building Web Apps in Go
What's the current state of web frameworks for Go? Is there something similar to Django or Rails out or in development?
anderspetersson··on Ask HN: Have drones made infantry obsolete?
You can not win war without winning the people over to your side. You can not win people over to your side using drones. Soldiers are more than just a device able to handle a weapon.
anderspetersson··on Earnings Release FY15 Q4
"Commercial cloud revenue grew 88% (up 96% in constant currency) driven by Office 365, Azure and Dynamics CRM Online and is now on an annualized revenue run rate of over $8 billion"

This is really interesting. This recurring revenue should be growing every month. It's still only > 10% of total revenue, but I think MSFT SaaS business will be really big within a year or two.

I'm considering buying some stock.

anderspetersson··on Ask HN: How to know if a startup concept has already been done
Dont. If it already is a company making money from you idea, there's more room, so it does not matter.
anderspetersson··on What is your current stack?
Python / Django / Postgres / jQuery

Currently trying to learn iOS development with Swift.

anderspetersson··on Hello HTTP/2, Goodbye SPDY
Looking forward to when HAProxy support for HTTP/2 lands since they refused to implement SPDY support.

Here's a list of common servers support for SPDY/HTTP2: https://istlsfastyet.com/#server-performance

anderspetersson··on Ship Code Faster: Announcing GitHub Integration GA
You could use something like "git push heroku master" before, but with this you dont need to setup a separate remote when using github+heroku, you can simply just push to github, that means the code that you see on github is the same as the one running on heroku, that wasn't always the case before.
