dberg··on Show HN: Moltbook – A social network for moltbots (clawdbots) to hang out
If these bots are autonomously reading/posting , how is this rate limited? Like why arent they posting 100 times per minute?

I am also curious on that religion example, where it created its own website. Where/how did it publish that domain?

dberg··on Startup CTO's Handbook
> For example, an individual contributor software engineer s competency matrix may include a row for coding/feature output velocity. In a Level 1 to Level 5 system, the matrix would specify that for a Level 1 engineer, expectations on code velocity are X pull requests per week

I mean. No.

dberg··on Show HN: Zoker, an online private poker platform made for home games
Hey all - Spent the last several months in quarantine building this on the side. I play a lot of poker with friends and we wanted a platform that worked on multiple devices and was geared towards private home leagues. Additionally I was annoyed by the pay models of pay chips, pay per hour or a ton of annoying advertising.

Zoker is a simple subscription fee for an unlimited amount of leagues/games/players. The idea is to have as much game flexibility as possible, make it easy to share information (like Zoom and Venmo) and keep stats/leaderboards.

Use Promo code HACKER90 for 90 days free to try. Please send feedback to info@zokerapp.com !

dberg··on Ask HN: What are you working on?

dberg··on GitHub CLI 1.0
Is this proof that regular git commands are too difficult to use?

I also wonder what this is going to do for folks not using Github as now CLI users are going to "unlearn" all their traditional git commands.

dberg··on Ask HN: How to properly manage a product roadmap?
Unfortunately most companies don't know any better that it is not the job of a PM to "invent" a whole bunch of features that may or may not work.
dberg··on Ask HN: How to properly manage a product roadmap?
After seeing so many Product Managers get this awfully wrong sometimes it also helps to understand what your job _isnt_

* Focus on outcomes over outputs. Your job is not to build a spreadsheet or JIRA backlog of features and then hand them to engineers to build like a coding factory. You do not have a crystal ball. You are not Steve Jobs.

* Involve the Business, Support and Eng parts of the org when defining _what_ to build. They all bring fantastic perspectives and really helps focus on the MVP and creates shared buy-in. Remember you are trying to solve a business problem not just crank out features aimlessly as a team.

* When mapping out _what_ to build, it always helps to use the collective team (in previous bullet) to outline Effort vs Impact. Forces really good discussion to keep things hyper focused and efficient.

* Instead of focusing on features focus on the strategy and the vision, let the team figure out how to get it there. As a PM you need to understand the market, the competitive landscape, how people are pricing their products, what customers are saying, industry trends, etc.

* Roadmaps in general are somewhat useless bc you don't have enough information and they create a lot of emotional commitments. Things change (hello Covid-19) and you don't know what you don't know. Instead outline your vision and strategy at a high level and make sure they are aligned to your overall business outcomes. This prevents people from saying "You said we would get feature X in Q2!!!". Instead you focus on metrics (Decreased Churn, Increase engagement by 3x, returning users more than X times in Y days, Revenue, etc).

* Be religious about data. Define your business outcomes, have good tools to track the progress of those outcomes, have a way to test/validate quickly and pivot as soon as it doesn't work. Keep fine tuning the machine

How does this differ from the KMS product ?
dberg··on Slack’s new WYSIWYG input box is terrible

dberg··on All about Direct Listings
was surprised to see no mention of iHeartMedia (maybe news was too recent) which has an imminent Nasdaq direct listing on July 18th. Should be an interesting twist after Slack and Spotify given the stark difference in business types and growth numbers.

77 billion for a train in 2033 ? And people wonder why we in the US think the government is completely unable to run these types of projects effectively. Total joke.
dberg··on Joe Armstrong has died
I met Joe in 2012 when I spoke at the Erlang Conf in SF. he is the reason I discovered functional programming and the whole concept of message passing (actor model) in distributed systems. Quite a legend and contributor to the world of computer science. RIP joe.

Lord is this impossible to read on mobile. I get using a gist and eating your own dog food to share content. But these guys have incredible eng talent and can’t make a gist readable on mobile ?

Cool, so what's your container/vm orchestration layer then?
dberg··on Containers and Virtual Machines at the Edge
Are you guys running Knative or similar to handle the serverless workloads in your edge ?
dberg··on Public and private class fields
Maybe I’m old school but instead of private it looks like they accidentally commented out a variable. # does not feel idiomatic to me.
