I just wanted to say that your application page is the best I've seen. Quick, a nice call out for actually writing meaningful cover letters, and great call-to-action popup after the application.

dfrey1··on Show HN: Spaghettify – A VSCode Extension to make your code worse with AI
This is amazing!!
dfrey1··on ChatGPT Plus
Any updated Go libraries with it yet?
dfrey1··on YouTube Addiction
I have the same issue. As an orthodox Jew, I'm very very thankful for keeping the Sabbath, because that makes it 25 hours off my phone. It reminds me that I can do this, and I can limit my time. But setting those boundaries is really really hard!
dfrey1··on Going full time on my SaaS after 13 years
Honestly I totally agree. Matt, your determination in seeing this through, and the dedication for 13 (!!) years is wildly inspiring in this, and it gives me hope for some of my SaaS dreams.
dfrey1··on Ask HN: How's the job hunt going? (For those laid off)
I would also look for projects that are being majorly run by a number of large organizations, and see how you could be of help. Look at the CNCF project list and take your pick!
dfrey1··on Stripe laying off around 14% of workforce
My company (AppsFlyer) does a ton of Clojure work, and I think they'd love to talk (though most of our R&D is in Israel). Doesn't look like they have an open position in the US listed, but I'll send this message to some of our senior Clojure people and see whether they want to talk more with you.

> Login.gov will be implementing enhancements to our internal caching infrastructure to improve reliability and performance.

> Interruptions in service will occur within this maintenance window with an expected total downtime of under 60 minutes.

I appreciated that they were open about what was happening (internal caching infrastructure), but it's annoying to have the central login functionality for a government down

dfrey1··on Ruby Shield: Shopify donates $1M to stewards of rubygems, bundler
Great seeing you (and flavorjones) do big things at Shopify, Jacques! Always great seeing your impact, after our Pivotal/VMware days
dfrey1··on Ask HN: What is your spiritual practice?
I'm a religious Jew. My day starts at 6 with a half-hour of Talmud study, then I have prayers for 40 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of reciting Psalms and another 30 minutes of Talmud study.

In the middle of my day, I pray for 15 minutes, and at night, I pray for another 15 minutes. I also try to end my day with a few more minutes of Jewish study

dfrey1··on Pelosi defends stock trading by lawmakers. ‘We are a free-market economy’
This makes so much sense to me. I had a similar experience at Goldman, and I had a friend who worked there who got called by compliance at the bank he worked at, because his financial adviser had bought a stock he wasn't allowed to. I think it's wild that our government isn't held to the same standard.
dfrey1··on “Free PACER” bill advances through Senate judiciary unanimously
Can someone familiar explain why the AO thinks it would take $2 BILLION and 9 years to implement? Similarly (on a significantly smaller scale), why would it take $XX Million and 3 years to implement?

From a total noobs perspective (mine), it seems that all they would have to do is remove the paywall; assumedly there was already a security review of the product, so this should involve removing blockers and not necessarily reimplementing the wheel.

Where do those numbers and estimates come from? They seem wildly inflated to someone not in the govt industry, but I assume (perhaps generously) that there is some internal logic behind it...

dfrey1··on A shift in American family values is fueling estrangement
This made me tear up. I totally understand that sentiment on both sides.

I have a mentor who told me that he was confused when got married, that his wife didn't come with him when he went to the store, to the bank, or on whatever random errand he was going on. Why? Because his parents (both incredibly highly educated and busy doctors) did everything together. If one was going to the store, the other came along, because they just enjoyed each other's company. I thought it was a beautiful depiction of what a familial relationship could, and perhaps should be like.

dfrey1··on Buildpacks vs. Dockerfiles
As multiple people have noted, Buildpacks now are focused on creating reproducible builds. I wrote a blog post on it: https://medium.com/buildpacks/time-travel-with-pack-e0efd8bf...
dfrey1··on Buildpacks vs. Dockerfiles
A list of adopters (many of which are hosting providers) is here: https://github.com/buildpacks/community/blob/main/ADOPTERS.m...
dfrey1··on Buildpacks vs. Dockerfiles
There is ongoing work with Buildpacks (specifically `pack`, the project CLI), to integrate better with podman, and enable a daemon-less workflow.

We most often build it with the local docker daemon (though you can with a remote docker daemon), test it, and then publish the image.

dfrey1··on Cloud Native Buildpacks – Cloud Foundry’s next-gen build interface hits beta
The beta release looks great, I'm excited to try it out!
dfrey1··on CNCF’s Cloud Native Buildpacks releases first beta for end users
This is really exciting! Can't wait to try it out. I'm glad to hear that it abstracted out stacks, that will definitely lower the barrier of entry for use.
