Is this because publishing companies force this, libraries don't have the budget for more ebooks, or we can't imagine new ways to do an old thing like early cars looked like horse carriages. 2/2

Facebook's real name policy rather than username will come in handy thanks to AI bots.

I develop for the web and Linux because of the App Store monopoly. At least $10k of Apple gear in this house I’d love to make apps for. Swift is so much better than JavaScript but platform dependency is worse than anything. Come on Apple.

For non-developers, let me explain why this is funny. You ever work on a Word document and to keep your previous edits, you save different version files? proposal.doc proposal_V2.doc

Mentality of many non-technical founders is to just buy some coders to create the solution.

You can buy a lawyer, accountant, marketer, or salesperson and get what you paid for.

Why that doesn’t work for software developers is obvious to me and absurd to them.

Everyone should play basketball with a NBA player one time. See the difference between being good and best 400 in the world good.

We're going to have to start using more precise language. Software development for a small business website, greenfield SaaS app, Linux kernel 28 million lines of code, and Google's 2 billion line codebase can't be the same thing.

Fibonacci. I mean come on. The fact that we've been able to keep a straight face sprint meeting after sprint meeting for a decade plus is worth $150k alone.

Founders often don't have management experience. Paul Graham's advice to founders who don't know how to code is to learn how to code.

My advice is if you don't know how to manage, learn how to manage. Not Founder harder.

Me in an interview trying to show off the web framework I wrote that no one would ever use.
