This is super helpful. Not only does it help people understand how the system works but also this is invaluable for comparing offers. I always end up with a bunch of pencil scratch notes or if I’m really trying an excel sheet to compare offers.
I know sometimes we might only get one offer and you’re stoked about anything you get. However, I highly encourage everyone on the market to do what they can to have more than one offer. This has been the only way to truly have leverage while negotiating. I’ve also been surprised and joined a company that I thought was just going to give me leverage. Their offer was so much better and the team was a way better match for my skills and personality.
Feature Request: Add the ability to compare multiple offers and show a side by side comparison. Or maybe the ability to export to a CSV so people can do this themself.
Another feature request: add ability to compare their offer to offers on levels.fyi so they can know if they have room to negotiate.
That's now how I use Netflix. I watch when I'm in the sauna and I've been on my phone long enough that I start to worry it will start overheating. Then I set up phone up outside the glass and Netflix gets my undivided attention. There are still so many great movies and tv shows on Netflix.
I can confirm this personally as I had an infected version of Sub7. I thought it was so fun to mess with my parents with it until I realized I was now compromised.
I’m a recent convert to tailwind. I’m very comfortable with css and I was initially turned off on the huge horizontal lines I saw in tailwind projects.
However, more and more component libraries are based on tailwind so I decided to try some immersion therapy.
Here are the top things I enjoy that was not obvious to me:
1. The class names are css shortcuts. Using them save you a lot of time. This is probably obvious to anyone who’s seriously looked at tailwind but I didn’t see that browsing the docs. I just saw nightmarishly long lines.
2. The lines look longer when you are not familiar with the class names. I initially pulled all of my class names out into a string outside my markup and included similar to how I’m used to using emotioncss. This made tailwind tolerable for me at first. However after several days I started to feel less turned off by those lines. I think it’s because I could recognize them. I will still break down a line with something like clsx.
3. clsx helps so much vs trying to entirely rely on tailwind syntax. The docs don’t discourage this at all but for some reason I thought it wasn’t idiomatic tailwind at first.
4. My app has to support a very large number of themes. Tailwind has proven to be a very attractive way of solving this problem. CSS variables are cool but the long syntax of using them is helped a lot in tailwind.
5. Adding my own custom variants is so easy and made me feel like a power user with such a small learning curve.
All of this is just my two cents to guide anyone who is like me watching from the sideline and wondering why? Why would anyone ever want to tolerate those “disgusting long lines mixed into the html”. Neo, all I see is the lady in the red dress now
Tip for next time this happens: hold down the back button for a menu of your history. It can help get where you want faster. Although not sure it helps too much if you literally had to click 30 times
Sure, you can filter out some of the criticism as just haters. However, some of it might be deserved. It really depends on what the product is doing. Since Chat GPT is a very useful consumer facing product, any kind of chat bot built on top might not add a ton of value. Some companies are using an LLM such as GPT in very creative ways where you couldn’t get 80% of the value by just using the chat interface. You probably don’t see much hate in those cases.
This is very cool! I love seeing tooling targeting inference. I feel like stable diffusion and LLAMA have to be the primary use cases for these types of services. DALL-E is super lacking and GPT does actually start to get pretty expensive once you are using it in production.
I would say the daily subconscious reminder that I’m in a community that is run by an incubator. It keeps that incubator top of mind, it’s even in the URL. The built in marketing for YC helps keep them at the top.
Techstars should have bought Indiehackers or built a community like HN. I realize Indiehackers might not be a perfect fit (bootstrap vs VC). The fact that I’m on HN just about every. Single. Day. Keeps YC top of mind way more than I could imagine it would otherwise.
Sadly I haven’t been able to write any production Go for a few years now after switching companies. However, I got bit by the seemingly innocent _platform.go “feature”. I had a file that organized a bunch of windows for a cross platform GUI app. Well it turns out something like file_windows.go only compiles on windows. Our CI environment was compiling all the code but suddenly all platforms except windows started failing.
Was funny when it was diagnosed but not so funny for the time where I was deeply confused why things broke.
I was finally ready to be a full time Linux Laptop user and then Apple came out with the M series chips and I can’t commit. It would feel like such a downgrade. Asahi Linux looks cool but if I’m buying a Mac I might as well use Mac OS.
Anyone else feel this way or is it just me? Once I got the power and battery life from my M series chip I can’t give it up.
From most of the RTO policies I’ve seen I’m convinced it’s an alternative to an officially layoff. Depending on how deep they need to cut will determine how strict the new policy is. While a layoff can, but doesn’t always, target low performers… RTO seems to accidentally target top performers.
There are definitely some options out there already and many new companies being formed. RTO feels like a hiccup in the grand scheme of things. The cost of large office spaces and long commutes will seem silly to the next generation IMHO.
