Get it approved in a lot of large markets? Deal with ongoing supply issues as suppliers change and you need to maintain your product? Market it? I could keep going on, but making a prototype is the easy part, making a sustaining business out of it is the hard part.

Moving the goalposts so soon.

This doesn't answer your question, but Aerospace (tiling WM) has been good for me to not use spaces. I don't mind spaces in theory, but the slow animation, for whatever reason, just really irks me.

That's a bit what it felt like when I was learning Rust async.

I get it, but "ecosystems" of async runtimes have a pretty big cost.


It's a shame MiniDisc wasn't more popular.


Yeah, but there was no way it was ever going to be cheap the way tapes were. Even portable CD players never got to the point that you would let a child just do what they wanted with one.


Portable CD players were way more finicky than walkmans (walkmen?!), plus the form factor was just not ideal.


A problem that was mostly solved by 1995 or so as RAM got cheap enough for a decent buffer. Still not something you could go running with but they didn't skip in cars any more. A child could play with one. Not a toddler, but a responsible-ish 8-year-old.


I went 386 DX 33 to a Pentium 75, which wasn't a wild amount of time. I'd argue that's way bigger than when I got an SSD (but I agree SSD was a huge improvement).


This is the best response to the article, IMO. We've kept our tech stack down, and lean heavily on postgres in a lot of cases. But having Redis able to handle scale independently of postgres has been a life saver, and saved us a lot of money vs what kind of postgres instance we'd need to match what it's doing.

Small scale, small app, You Just Need Postgres is on point. Funneling all of your scaling issues into Postgres, which isn't always the easiest to scale horizontally, can start to be a problem.


> I see Europe eventually coming to this same conclusion when enough damage has been done.

I'm curious about this sentence -- to what are you referring, and where specifically in Europe?


Portugal decriminalize d all drugs a little while ago


And they have very low drug mortality rates. Opiates are prescribed _way_ less than in the US. This really feels like a strawman comparison.


Notice the word „decriminalize“, not „legalize“. It’s about not throwing people already struggling with addiction in jail but rather offering safe alternatives (counseling, safer use, etc.).

The government‘s not passing out drugs in the street, like US media likes to suggest.


Nobody is writing a "project structure" section by hand, and listing out the directory structure with _every file_.


on that one i'm guilty, not gonna lie


I agree in your basic framing but not your conclusion. Met plenty of do-ers before thinkers that are self-aware enough to also maintain software longterm.


Is the Next.js API surface worth reimplementing?
