jw989··on Show HN: Read Hacker News Like Pinterest – Built with Vuejs
I agree with this. Other than this it's a great project, nice work!
jw989··on Habits of a Happy Node Hacker
Well, you're main app should obviously not be clustered but think about the api you use to manage data. I don't know your architecture but I'm sure that you can separate your api from your user state and cluster those apis as well as use various reverse proxies and load balancing services.
jw989··on A lot of websockets in Haskell
Wow this is very close to what I was saying. Thanks for this
jw989··on A lot of websockets in Haskell
This is cool, largely because of the functional perspective to dealing with pools of websockets. I personally think the next level for websockets infrastructure is building a paradigm for large pools of concurrent websocket connections.

Perhaps a microservces implementation with each step (handshake, broadcasting, http overhead) having their own cluster and communicating through channels.

jw989··on Reconsider
I really enjoyed reading this.

However, I personally feel distain for the perspective of how every engineer should maintain a noble sense of worth. No matter the environmental differences of being in SF or elsewhere, people are bad at engineering wall to wall. While there are still successes at both sides of the coin.

Frankly, 'Software eating the world' has nothing to do with us. It has to do with, well, the world. And my own struggle with the tech industry is how disconnected we are in the 'startup and grow' sector.

jw989··on Jet.com raises $500M from Fidelity at $1B pre
The main problem I have with Jet.com is that never have I or anyone I know (limited in breadth but still) thought "well, Amazon isn't providing me with what I need so I'll go to jet.com for this"

If anyone has had an experience like this I would love to hear it.

jw989··on How Hacker News and FreshDesk led me to quit my job and launch my own startup
From my understanding golang is a perfectly fine name for Go and much easier to Google.

jw989··on Show HN: Random Git – Refresh to discover another open source library or tool
This is so great. I tweeted this idea a few months ago with the hopes that someone would make it. I doubt you guys saw it but it does makes me happy that this exists.
jw989··on List of Web Business Models
I disagree. Even though Rap Genius has showcased plenty of what I like to call "douchey" behavior, in the end of the day they still make an awesome app that I and many others essentially need.
jw989··on I Sold My Startup for $25.5 Million
Why are there no waffles?
jw989··on High School Hackers Meetup in Philly
Can't wait for this!
jw989··on A live HTML5 editor made with Node.js
The reason why I made it with node-webkit and not online is because I prefer my editors to be desktop. However, implementing a preview on the download page would be a good idea too.
jw989··on A live HTML5 editor made with Node.js
Honestly, if you understand how to build frontend applications it is as simple at creating an index.html file and attaching it to the webkit browser.
jw989··on A live HTML5 editor made with Node.js
I understand your feelings but this isn't a heavily planned startup i've developed, simply a tool I made since I thought it would be cool to make (also an experiment with node-webkit).
