This iterative process of finding the best product-market fit, probably the most excruciating task ever. It's really not easy or there won't be 9-5 devs anymore.

I'm currently facing the same dilemma as an indie developer working on a data analysis/data visualization product. Companies like Tableau and co can afford to squeeze the juice of indie developers by offering similar featured products for free. I try not to get discouraged though. I think the field is really large and there are quite a ton of ways to make inroads these days but I think it's also important to play in large enough markets, so better to play in the $120bn+ data analytics market than some $100m market with one well-nourished, fast moving white shark.

I've seen so many intellectual forums overrun and finally ruined by political posts (and they usually start with harmless posts) that do nothing but engender the highest levels of divisiveness among members. Would be sad to see HN fall into such a situation.

Why was this even posted here on HN? I don't think it's okay that HN should become a microcosm of the political economy of the United States. Well, for whatever it's worth, I hope California gets serious about secession.

I found this really hilarious to the point of tears.

Are you for real or is this whole post for lulz?

Having used Inkscape and Adobe Illustrator at different times, I'd stick with illustrator any day.

What has kept this language from planetary-scale adoption?

Would like to see the performance uplift the switch to react/node.js gives Walmart.
