I've been working with React Server Components recently. A lot of the points here are applicable for RSCs too. The problem IMO, is Next.JS. Most apps don't need edge computing or fancy caching (which Vercel sells). Take those out, and I think we'll have a nice framework that's easy to use for everyone.
esteer··on S3 is showing its age
That is a very cool name for a blog.
esteer··on Introducing dbt + Materialize
AWS launched a feature last re:Invent for materialized views - https://aws.amazon.com/glue/features/elastic-views/
esteer··on MesaLink: A memory-safe and OpenSSL-compatible TLS library
I wouldn't call it a pet implementation. It currently backs S3[0] and a wide variety of AWS services.

esteer··on Launch HN: Piggy (YC S17) – Investment App for India
Hey, sorry for the delayed response. In case you see this, do you have any data that I use to compare the costs involved by investing through Coin vs Piggy? Also, since you're a start-up I'd be a bit concerned to give my money with doubts what'd happen if you shut down. How can I make sure my investments are secured even if you shut down?
esteer··on Launch HN: Piggy (YC S17) – Investment App for India
Why should I use Piggy over Coin by Zerodha? What are the important differences?
esteer··on Last.Backend becomes open-source
Half way through, I realized I wasn't reading about last.fm's backend being opensource :)
esteer··on Amazon LightSail: Simple Virtual Private Servers on AWS
I'm a little confused. How is this different from EC2?
esteer··on Elevated error rates on applications and deployments
How does Heroku's CD experience compare with AWS CodePipeline?
esteer··on Applebot, the web crawler for Apple
This is more into AI than Ads. AFAIK Siri uses Wolfram Alpha for its answers. Given the way Google's knowledge graph is advancing, it totally makes sense for them to build their own AI engine.
esteer··on Dart for Android apps with 120fps
> Sky opens the door to use Dart on the server side, on the web as well as for highly performant native apps for Android (and eventually for other platforms like iOS).

What's wrong with using GWT and J2ObjC other than the fact that there are people who don't enjoy building stuff in Java?

esteer··on Amazon Dash Button
> there's no site that sells everything, like Amazon, here

I see an opportunity there :)

esteer··on Ask HN: I have 6 months. What should I do?
Thanks! But, let's just say, the conditions I'm in, I can't afford to spend time on anything else other than shaping my career. What would your advise be?
esteer··on Google Classroom
This was the exact same idea that I submitted for Google Cloud Developer Challenge in last November. I could not finish the app in time because of my exams and followed by my internship. I'm not sure if this is their original idea or they've read my application. Is there anything I can do about it? Even if I can't, this just boosted my confidence on my startup ideas.
