• Website Is Not for You

  When I first read the title, my reaction was: how dare they say my website isn't for me? Of course it is. It's my space to share thoughts, jot down notes from things I come across, publish small tools, and so on. That made me click through and see how the article could possibly argue otherwise. Then I realised that the article talks about business websites, not personal websites. Quoting from the article: > The... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• How to set up many landing pages with waitlist in an economical way

  One way is to deploy a full-stack app with frontend and backend where the backend connects to a newsletter service like Buttondown. However, hosting a website with a backend is more expensive than hosting a static website with no backend. With a lot of landing pages, that gets a bit expensive. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• One niche dev newsletter: lessons learned

  I use Buttondown for the actual newsletter services (and I'm ashamed to confess I hadn't even went out of the boundaries of the free tier yet), I can compare it with other solutions which I used professionally, and it's much simpler than competitors (literally one line of HTML code), while allowing me to avoid the pains of maintaining my own mailing solution. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

  A minor point to feed back: for me, https://www.buttondown.com/ fails to load, while https://buttondown.com/ works. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• AMA: I'm Eric Ries (The Lean Startup) & Author of New Bestseller Incorruptible

  «Please shut up and take my money». Jokes aside - can’t wait. Your book The Lean Startup helped me so much. I read it tens of times. It’s one of the reason I got great traction with mine startup https://playcode.io - AI App Builder on our custom cloud. Thank you Eric. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Ask HN: What are tools you have made for yourself since the advent of AI

  I built a complete clone if fly.io infrastructure: VMs, networks, etc. So I have my Vercel on bare metal machines to maintain full-stack apps on https://playcode.io. It took more than a year. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• How's Linear so fast? A technical breakdown

  I completely rebuilt this sync engine + orm with relations, lazy loading etc, using Vue + Pinia in https://playcode.io. Google Linear’s videos, they explained in detail their architecture. Yes, I spent a few months. But it worth it. Every new field, model I need to add, it is so straightforward. I do love frameworks and foundations. They make live easier later by a lot. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Zerostack – A Unix-inspired coding agent written in pure Rust

  Don’t get me wrong, but 7K LoCs means it is still an early attempt to make a coding agent. It starts easy “ah it can edit and read files!”, but it requires a lot of extra effort to make properly for many edge cases, especially caching, price optimizations, etc. I’ve been implementing custom coding agent in https://playcode.io for 3 years already. Far beyond of 7K LoCs. So when you compare to “shitty slow” Claude... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• I Am Building a Cloud

  - k8s is insane peace of software. A right tool for a big problem. Not for your toys. Yes, it is crazy difficult to setup and manage. Then what? - cloud has bad and slow disk. BS. They have perfectly fast NVME. Something else? That’s it. Why I am so confident? I used to setup and manage kubernetes for 2 years. I have some experience. Do I use it more? Nope. Not a right tool for me. Ansible with some custom Linux... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
