Anyone else get the impression that this team is more excited about getting into YC than building a successful business?

Does anyone know why that Sherpa's face has that distinctive tone? Is it frostbite or some kind of sun burn?

Great article by the way!

I've never met anyone who admires Reid Hoffman.

This seems like a post he should have published to his private diary. It comes off very self-important and navel gazing.

Everyone wrote dumb stuff years ago. Move on with your life.

This is an advertisement disguised as a technical post on container security.

>Cache is a popular concept widely spread on the broad range of computer science but its interface is not well developed yet.

This sentence is grammatically incorrect. Replace "Cache" with Caching".

I feel grateful for learning these tools before repos like this existed. Discovering new CLI tools back then was like learning about new bands by word of mouth – it made it more special.

Many of the answers on this post are confusing web performance for rendering speed.

I'm an early adopter for new shiny things, but this is dead on arrival for me. You made no effort to tell us what Oya actually is. It's as if you wrote this website for yourselves, not for the general public.

A few pointers:

- What is a "project"?

- Is Oya a language?

- What is this new Oyafile syntax?

- What actual problem is this solving?

What "conduct"? It's a simple disagreement, not some big dramatic fight.

Having worked in Python for many years, I can tell you that nobody actually writes code that looks like Blacks formatting.

It's a major step backward for the Python community.

It's cool that they're sharing this information, but using Heroku at this scale is wasteful and fiscally irresponsible.

This is the same columnist who wrote "Abolish Billionaires" and "There’s Nothing Wrong With Open Borders".

Don't reward this garbage by clicking on it.

Interesting that Google isn't mentioned in the name of the product or anywhere in the ad. That seems like a break from tradition.

Finally a serverless technology that is actually serverless to the developer ($0 when idle).

The NYTimes deserves a better tech journalist than Kara Swisher. She had some good coverage during the dot com era, but she is now a member of the SF technocracy she's supposed to be covering. It's time to make room for some new voices.

> creating Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNB), a standard for turning source code into Docker images without the need for Dockerfile

This is a solution in search of a problem. Please stop.

Building your own CDN probably makes sense for ~1% of the people reading this blog post.

I advise everyone to move away from React Router.

Maintainers who have such blatant disregard for users should not be rewarded or celebrated.

Join a programming Slack group.

> avoid contributing to maintaining that ecosystem for the next generation of app entrepreneurs

This is an insult to anyone with a brain. Calling fees "contributions" as if they "maintain" anything beyond increasing shareholder value.

Don't be fooled by Apple's warm and fuzzy messaging.

Might be useful for anyone who hasn't heard of Docker yet.

Your comment doesn't contribute to the discussion. It's more of an advertisement than a comment.

As a customer, this is unfortunate news.

Why is it so hard to just supply an honest service in exchange for money and take a nice profit?

This analysis is late to the game. Software and AI has been eating photography for some time now.

Do yourself a favor: browse through any photography forum and listen in on the discussions.

This entire post is a perfect example of the awful corporate jargon infecting our culture right now.

For example

> As our take on this organizational model evolved to align with our needs as a distributed engineering organization, we realized we wanted to distribute leadership more.

- "organizational model": "We divide our team into smaller sub teams according to X"

- "evolved": Something failed and we need to fix it.

- "align": (trendiest word in corp jargon right now)

- "distributed engineering organization": People working remote.

- "distribute leadership": More leaders.

What I want to know is:

Why is Josh Constine still covering Facebook at TechCrunch? Is there no accountability for journalists who totally failed us?

For context, he's the guy who was supposed to be covering Facebook over the last 10 years, but instead of hard hitting journalism, we got nothing more than press releases and pro-FB articles.

See for yourself:

Don't expect everyone to feel sorry for media outlets who inflame our current divisions, destroy teenagers lives and publish gossip masquerading as journalism. And thats just this week alone!
