Yeah. RoR is the original modern web framework. I guess I’m dating myself.

I started my career with Ruby on Rails, and I love it because code is beautiful. As a result I prefer Vue.

Not sure if it counts but for me it’s ChatGPT

I the case of Taiwan, I feel a strong echo of Ukraine before the Russian invasion.

I remember seeing on TV people in Ukraine said “it’s always been like this, nothing to worry” on the street when they were surrounded by tanks. And look at what happened.

China indeed has a lot more capability. The one thing they don’t have though is experience, at least compared to the US. They haven’t fought a war since 1949.

Congrats man. You deserve it.

I mean didn’t work when I pushed to Heroku
December 23, 2024 at 11:41 AM
It wasn’t an upgrade. I like using Rails to build static websites, because I’m familiar with it, I just built one using 8, and this time the asset pipeline was changed and I had to do several things to get it to work. I can’t recall exactly what I did.

I’d say marketing and product are two jobs in one. If that’s not the same person, the two people or teams need to work in lock step. Marketing needs to have direct influence into how products are built.
December 23, 2024 at 10:56 AM
Yeah, for me it was the new asset pipeline that’s not seamless with Heroku
December 23, 2024 at 10:37 AM
Yeah. I wish it wasn’t the case. The reason I still stick with Rails is it has resisted the complexity other frameworks fall into.

Insights are hard to come by, but when they do I do post them.

I feel on Bluesky I’m more free to speak of mind because 1) people actually hear and 2) people I know aren’t on here yet
December 13, 2024 at 2:53 AM
Yeah, it’s breaking all my apps 😔
December 12, 2024 at 2:30 AM
Congrats on a productive day

That’s the plan 🦋

Perfect. Thanks for the tip!

That’s one of my favorite books!

Congrats!

Yes, the story angle is key. It’s a waste of time if the story is nothing new.
December 6, 2024 at 9:04 AM
Yes, it’s been great so far.

Cool, if you know them personally I’d love to get an introduction. Part of the reason I came to Taiwan is to find tech talents here.

Taiwanese people have a combination of high technical ability, strong work ethic, and less costly, especially in software.
December 4, 2024 at 10:31 AM
No I’ve not heard. Is it a Taiwanese company?
December 4, 2024 at 8:20 AM
Thanks. I will definitely research it and see

Taiwan is definitely much quieter. Nothing compared to China. What you get in Taiwan is good and affordable living, health care and all the rest. It’s a good place to live. Not too many people are hustling.

But it is a great place to establish a mid-tier software business due to affordable talent.
