> I hope they will one day. I said I'm fine with verbal credit if they don't have money,

This is quite disappointing, but I guess it is your choice.

Congrats on the write up, seems extremely serious, I hope Sourcehut and Drew paid you well for this.

Can one use column to support or build escrow type services?

Also congrats on the launch!

Have been using Temporal since 2025, congrats!

Agreed, I hope we all go back towards doing this.

Users don't care about Cloudflare and I think you need to go outside.

Either you're in a bubble or you're an AI or both.

How would Mozilla replace the $500M a year from Google to not be a business?

When these vibe coded projects realise that maintenance, security updates, API changes are still needed. Get ready for a massive swing back to senior software developers being in demand.

Playing software maintainer while many vibe coded web apps aren't built with proper software architecture or practices only makes the swing back to senior engineers being in demand a possibility.

Good luck to those who are building 600K-LOC vibe coded web apps with 40+ APIs stitched together.

> I stood on the street after my haircut and let sink in how big this was, how this technology has become an essential aide for so many, how I could lead performance efforts and help save the planet.

Brendan.

First of all congratulations on your new job. However,

It is easier to just say to everyone it is about the money, compensation and the stock options.

You're not joining a charity, or to save the planet, this company is about to unload on the public markets at an unfathomable $1TN valuation.

Don't insult your readers.

Try lobsters and probably Reddit which have a hard stance against AI.

You're right in HN heading down the path in favouring slop, constant posts and startups about AI with now 'influencers' (simonw in particular) aggressively posting and shilling AI.

With the moderators knowing that these 'influencers' and their kind violate the HN guidelines every day by purposefully linking back to their site for farming backlinks.

It might as well be called AI news.

> I find it sad that a lot of foundational open-source software is created/maintained by trading/crypto/money laundering companies. But OTOH it's great that they at least contribute _something_ to the society!

React is unfortunately becoming more foundational than this project, and with it maintained by a company that was involved in the Rohingya genocide in Myanmar, the Cambridge Analytica scandal and so on.

This makes crypto / trading companies look like angels compared to what Facebook has done even though they made and open sourced React.

To that end, I don't see anything morally wrong with the former camp of companies supporting open source, (trading/crypto) since they didn't participate and amplify an actual genocide.

So this is what the best engineers in the world are working on then.

Great.

Sad.

So much for an alternative to Google, everything has to converge to ads.

But now we get artists skills for free, so anyone can become an artists with AI.

This is a net positive for the world.

I'm so glad that Midjourney and Flux is making creativity accessible to everyone, I don't need to have a subscription to MJ anymore now that Flux is getting better.

Everybody can now be an artist and have creativity for free now.

What a time to be alive.

In the start of your career if you're young, most would lowball as a last resort, if you have a medium to large body of work in your portfolio, probably be honest.

Make sure to account / factor in for equipment, taxes, family, rent, etc in your cost estimates, as they say estimation in software is hard.

If you lowball, IMHO you're not being honest with yourself and you may not be motivated to do the job. It is also hard to negotiate higher if you keep lowballing estimates with your clients in the long run.

The future of SaaS is free and open source.

With this the cost of software (excluding maintenance) converges to zero.

Yeah, by looking at the tags it seems that these are desktop terminals assuming most programmers use the desktop to use them.

A great list nonetheless.

Can this be used for image to 3D generation? What is the SOTA in this area these days?

I believe that this article has made me even more interested in working in Venture Capital for my next move.

Thanks!

Did you not take / cash out your XLM?

I cashed mine out ASAP and sent them to a hardware wallet with Ledger.

I NEVER put any trust on online wallets even if they are official.

Great to see the beginning of the end of Meta / Facebook with their first revenue miss.

Hopefully their metaverse play is a costly fatal distraction that will ultimately lead them to lose more money while lots of people run away from using their platform.

The fact they are ruining their own product [0] to compete with TikTok shows that they have completely run out of ideas.

There is no saving Facebook / Meta this time.

I use Fiber [0] in production for a $4M ARR company and never had any issues even at peak traffic.

Took less than a month to start with and integrate and it is a joy to use.

You can if you use cellular data to transact with Bitcoin, not everyone is using the Rogers network, but the banks in Canada were.

So no online banking, withdrawals, payments in affected parts Canada.

> It's hard to understate the impact of this across all of Canada. As someone who uses Apple Pay for almost every transaction, this underlines the fragility of a "cashless society."

It seems like Bitcoin and crypto fared well during this outage.

All the great ideas for starting a software company have been taken and executed.

And if you have a great idea which hasn’t been taken, it is most likely a feature that the big tech companies will just steal anyway. (e.g Clubhouse)

The competition is far too great to start a startup.

Do you know who is Satoshi Nakamoto?

I've used Ripcord for over 2 years and never noticed this at all.

Besides, the fact that Ripcord has slack support is a definite plus IMO.

Just use Ripcord? [0]

It actually works well and supports slack as well for those who don't like Electron.

This is an April fools right? Why does my business need this from Tailscale?
