sheunl··on Ask HN: What's a not so famous software company that makes a lot of money
Yep. They have a niche there. The only worthy alternative in their space is QGIS.
sheunl··on Ask HN: What's the fastest and simplest way to prototype a web app in 2023?

sheunl··on What is the biggest problem you have in work
Outdated Tools
sheunl··on Ask HN: Which front-end tool would you use to build an e-commerce web app today?
Wordpress. Worked in company using Woocommerce for their e-commerce solution, It was profitable at that. That is if you want a quick and simple solution. If you want something less turnkey and more flexible but more tasking, Django or Laravel is a good option.

Don't overcomplicate things, simplicity is often underrated on the web side of development. This is coming from a guy who writes low level embedded c and c++ on a daily basis.

sheunl··on Ask HN: Learn C++11 or Rust in 2022?
Look at the practical side of things, C++ is going nowhere and its improving. C++ is simple just write and compile. No rustc, cargo and rustup combo. Both languages are good but one is tested and tried.

sheunl··on From Node to Ruby on Rails
Tried it. Had issue with integrating packages and developing across Windows/Linux platform.

Deploying was also hell.

But it was fast, stable and once you solve a problem it is solved 100% .

sheunl··on From Node to Ruby on Rails
I have observed this but with Laravel/PHP. If you are a specialist NodeJS is not bad. But if you are a generalist with deadline and business logic to implement a more mature development ecosystem is advisable, in my opinion.
