• You too can Git it: A beginners guide to connecting Git and GitHub

• 12 Steps to Organize and Maintain Your Python Codebase for Beginners

  I’m not going to dive into Git commands here — you can find plenty of tutorials online. If you’re not a fan of using the plain terminal CLI, you can also manage repositories with tools like GitHub Desktop or SourceTree, which provide a more visual, intuitive interface. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• File Governance and Versioning in Corticon BRMS

  Using terminal commands isn’t necessary for basic adoption of Git with Corticon Studio files, though. There are various tools that will allow us to bypass the command line when defining rules, including the built-in Eclipse plugin for Git version control. If you’ll be storing your assets on GitHub, though, an even easier solution is GitHub Desktop, a free desktop software that GitHub offers. It can be used in... - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• An Introduction to Nix for Ruby Developers

  Nix currently is akin to git's "porcelain": powerful but esoteric. However, much like git evolved into exoteric, user-friendly tools such as git-flow, GitHub Desktop, and Tower to become user-friendly, many developers are building abstractions, wrappers, and utilities to simplify Nix usage. Let's briefly look at a few of these tools now. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• How many failed startups have you launched?

  1. Uptime monitoring service [0]. Launched in 2019. Decided to enter a crowded niche and try to figure out distribution, but failed. Sold in early 2021. Total sales before selling: $1,686 2. Notion backups service [1]. Launched in late 2021, $100k processed, still growing ~60% YoY. In hindsight, I should have picked an adjacent niche, since this business is technically difficult and not as easy to sell as, for... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (December 2025)

  I've been working on the same business since 2021: https://notionbackups.com The first business I started never gained traction, so I sold it in 2021 (which was a completely different time compared to now). Notion had announced that they'd launch a beta version of their API, so while waiting for the early access, I built a landing page, login/signup, and all other plumbing for the web app. It was a rather... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (June 2025)

  I've been working on my business for 4 years now, sometimes taking extended breaks when I run out of motivation. Lately, I've noticed that my (beefy) server is always clogged with background jobs that tend to run longer than they used to. It’s started impacting operations, as customers have been complaining about their backups running a bit late. We're network bound, so I can't just add more compute power... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2025)

  I've been building https://notionbackups.com for almost 4 years now. It's mostly feature complete at this point, but rough edges still need to be ironed out. Notion's API is far from complete, and updates are few and far between. This has led me to work around some of its limitations in creative ways. For example, there is still no way to create top-level pages in Notion, which makes restores impossible.... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
