jetset15··on Show HN: PullPreview – Deploy previews for any application, on your servers
Wow this is cool. I actually spent a lot of time developing a solution for this for the last company I worked for. I copied the Angular repos way of doing it. https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/aio/aio-build...

It's really well documented and made the whole process a lot less work. It works great for angular apps.

There doesn't seem to be a ton of services in this space and for larger teams working on the same product I see this solving an actual problem.

Congrats on launching, excited to see where this goes.

jetset15··on Show HN: Elevator party – An interactive small talk experience
Love the idea, couple ideas.

1. Restrict it to 3-4 people max in each elevator. 2. Add in audio and close the room in 1 minute.

Lecturing is a good idea, even more so if you rarely lecture your parents back, which I assume a lot of children don't. This is something I did to my parents and it changed the way they are approaching this pandemic. Social distancing is happening here now and they have respected my thoughts and ideas since they're scared and trust the information I'm supplying them is valuable.

The pricing most definitely needs to be simpler. The calculations on there and numbers used will turn away a lot of people. Think simple simple simple when it comes to user facing messaging and pricing.

jetset15··on Use Any Language In AWS Lambda (Plus Official Ruby Support)
Damn, the lambda layers feature is super cool. By far some big downsides to lambdas besides cold starts were deployment times and dependency management. Super cool to see they are pushing this forward!

jetset15··on Ask HN: What made your favorite manager/supervisor/CEO so great?
My manager goes out of his way to allow people who have passions for things onto smaller teams that work on those passions. Our company and our products are built because someone wanted to fix a problem and were given the time to do so. Playing to our strengths and helping us work on our weaknesses. No micro-manging involved, just trust and encouragement. Will lay the hammer down if needed in edge case situations but will also defend the team to the death from outside pressures and obstacles.
jetset15··on Ask HN: What are some examples of good code?
I highly recommend reading this book: https://www.amazon.com/Refactoring-Ruby-Jay-Fields/dp/032198...

Not only does it contain great code snippets but it also covers repeatable techniques that will ease your life as a ROR programmer immensely.
