maps7··on RedwoodJS 1.0
I was talking in wider terms of not using a framework at all and not specifically about Redwoodjs.

I can't speak to whether RedwoodJS will lead you down a path of working around it.

maps7··on Those HTML attributes you never use
Your post was something of a blast from the past for me: toolbars! I had forgotten about those. I used to spend a lot of time customizing those. Then Chrome was released which really was the end for browser toolbars.
maps7··on Those HTML attributes you never use
Cool. Most of these were new to me too. I will likely forget them again until I read about them in another blog post but interesting nonetheless.
maps7··on Are you nice or kind?
What an uninteresting (set) of posts on HN's frontpage..

I see the irony of my uninteresting comment too! This is just not the content I come to HN for at all.

maps7··on There's no way to report spam on Google Drive
I'm getting these recently too as Android notifications. It's very annoying and could be very unprofessional or hard-to-explain if one came in at the wrong time.

The alternative here is that you DoItYourself from the start and never launch or burn company money _before_ you even have a product or users.
maps7··on RedwoodJS 1.0
I'm a Redwood user for my side project that I hope to launch in the next few days. For me Redwood has been great. I know React but was always frustrated with expanding past the UI layer e.g. data fetching, storing. I had tried NextJS in the past (didn't love the filename routing approach) but never actually got anything to production.

I'm in an architect role for work now and I get to code less and less during the day. RedwoodJS has enabled me to actually build something in my own time and (hopefully) launch it.

I didn't know GraphQL or Prisma before starting to use it but between the Redwood docs, Prisma docs and with some RW community help I've made good progress.

What do the cool kids use instead of Yarn these days?

> Attractive men behave in the stereotypical alpha manner, very aggressive without any empathy.

I have rarely found that statement to be true.

maps7··on Show HN: I gamified a habit tracker to fight procrastination
Well then I have a great solution for you: don't pay for it. You're not in the market for this app. It's akin to crying because you can't afford an expensive car.
maps7··on Ask HN: How do you find a job that makes you happy?
Have you considered moving from management back to engineering? It sounds like you were a software engineer previously. How did you find that?
maps7··on The ‘coasting’ workers who’ve checked out of their jobs
Another WFH hit piece.. I am noticing these are becoming more and more common now.

I bet Edward is also breathing and blinking on company time - how dare he.

maps7··on Tim Cook tells employees the return to offices will begin on April 11th
The world has changed since then. Nobody was hired to WFH but that is what we all did.
maps7··on Show HN: I made a little math game named Summle
#Summle #7: 3/5 = = =

This did not come naturally for me. Spent about 30 mins on it. After a long time, I opened my calc app and worked backwords. From there it only took a few mins..

EDIT: hints might be nice to make it more wordle like

maps7··on Tim Cook tells employees the return to offices will begin on April 11th
We're all going to back to the office ... just because some rich person said so!

Where did you find out about it?
maps7··on Google’s Margaret Mitchell Has Been Fired
Who? The name drop in the title implies we should know who a seemingly random Google employee is/was. And I actually followed the original story of the ethical ai researcher getting fired.

There's no info in the tweet other than "I'm fired". Is there reason to believe this was an unfair firing?

maps7··on Robinhood CEO, Reddit Co-Founder and Others Testify on GameStop Stock
Interesting that DFV said he would buy at the current GME price
maps7··on Ask HN: Cryptocurrencies that you think have a bright future?
Have you tried? I have bought stuff with cyrpto.
maps7··on Show HN: WFH has made me feel disconnected – so I made Highlight
Seems kinda like FB for work. We use it where I work and to be honest.. it's not great. Engagement is low among some areas so they try drive engagement to it by having competitions on it. I don't think it works.

I think it would work for small teams though. People are probably more likely to post if it is just to their immediate team.

maps7··on Ask HN: People who hate talking on the phone, how do you deal with remote work?
I don't love it. When I am presenting it feels like I am talking to myself. I deal with it by just doing it - no other choice.
maps7··on Someone has stolen my Instagram account
If that was the case why would FB be marking the issue as resolved?
maps7··on Ask HN: Do you use feature flags? What's the best tool for the job?
So the URL can turn on different features?
maps7··on Ask HN: FAANG employees who transfered to EU. How has your experience been ?
GDPR has constraints on for data transfer outside the EU doesn't it?
maps7··on Ask HN: FAANG employees who transfered to EU. How has your experience been ?
Is there no data regulation issues in play?
maps7··on Facebook isn’t happy about Apple’s upcoming ad tracking restrictions
I think the new changes will hurt facebook competitors more. Everyone knows Facebook and it has a brand. They want to collect some info? Most people won't care - they just want to use the app like they always have. They might think twice with a new app that they don't know
maps7··on Ask HN: Have you had experience with short term role/team rotations?
Haven't done that exactly. What benefits are you hoping for? What negatives do you think it might have?
maps7··on Ask HN: What Learnings can you share from Being a Software Architect
- No design is ever perfect

- There are many correct ways to do things

- It's all about constraints and trade offs

maps7··on Ask HN: How does onlyfans.com work around the “no porn” Stripe rule?
Probably cause Stripe likes money?
