maybe make it clickable, and clicking copies the actual email to your clipboard, but that might mean the bots are back again.

Here is a link to the reddit post : https://www.reddit.com/r/django/comments/wremx2/everything_i...

And I will add details to my profile. Thank you for the tip

Denser version – Everything I learnt building my first startup

here is a link to it - https://youtu.be/RJ20RISZ47w(as requested by a lot of people on reddit) I am going to make an even denser cut, but that will take a while and is certainly going to cut out a lot of the information.I hope you like this, and if you have any questions let me know, would be happy to answer them.If you have any intern or junior positions open let me know!

what should be the strategy early in my career?
that you, that is insightful, especially that last part. Never thought about that
that's a terrific deal. I am assuming that's glacier tho, because seems like the even the infrequent s3 would be around 2.5

From AWS (this is assuming no transfer): 200 S3 IA Storage x 0.0125 USD = 2.50 USD (S3 IA storage cost) S3 Standard - Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) cost (monthly): 2.50 USD

This is just a made scenario

lets say more than a million

daily, but putting a number would be hard. But lets assume total image views

would be around 100k

typically an image of 1-2.5 Mb compressed with a ratio of 60%

it's pretty important to serve the image. so, reliability would be important.

it should be cost effective.

The images will be stored for a long while.

Re:Ask HN: Do You Trust Grammarly? on Tuesday July 26, 2022 @01:33PM (#32241252)
NEVER. I would happily pick bad grammar over using Grammarly.

Where do you write that doesn't have the grammar correction built in from the OS? If I ever want to check my grammar or language (this is quite rare), I just write it out and then put it in some online grammar checker like QuillBot. Works well for me. I have trust issues

EDIT : I would happily try out some self hosted ones though. I will keep going through the thread here.

Re:Developer docs: What do you like to see first? on Tuesday July 26, 2022 @01:28PM (#32241189)
Just do what stripe does. also, +1 for guide then manual.
I get amazing results while programming if I use DuckDuckGo.

I think google dorking make the suggestions better. Also, using bangs on duckduckgo has vastly improved my search results. If you know where to find stuff, you will get good results. For example if I am looking for review or recommendations, I use site:"reddit.com" .

Re:Ask HN: Do you have multiple income streams? on Friday July 22, 2022 @11:10PM (#32199942)
The study about an millionaire having 7 sources of income is often misunderstood and misquoted. I believe this is the original report : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-soi/14rpoverthetopbournerosenmer... and then multiple streams that people often quote are not multiple streams, but multiple forms, like investment income, rental income, royalties, earned income etc.

The study is actually quite insightful if you read it for what it is and not what you want it to be.

I have also found this video to be quite insightful : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF5H7ch2Ngg

Re:I regret my website redesign on Friday July 22, 2022 @05:05AM (#32190047)
I read through the post, is there something about how to make sure this doesn't happen? How to catch yourself falling down that slope? They suggested using Freelancers instead of agencies, and that seems like good advice in this context, but I am looking for frameworks that make sure this doesn't happen even in a different situation
yea, I think that is mostly because good advice is never black and white. It is always grey. And so, you can have good arguments on either side.
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Don't panic.

Here are some quotes that have positively impacted my life (some of them are cheesy). I have a list of life philosophies as well, but I keep those private.

This is quite insightful. I will have to reflect and figure out what I like, tho I have a general idea of the kind of dev I am
>Most people in software have no idea what leadership looks like, which makes evaluating for strong leadership all but impossible.

what does it look like according to you?

Ask HN: What is the ideal company size where I can grow as a developer?

I am sure this is more art than science. But there has got to be a good general size. I asked people on reddit what was the best way to grow as a dev and become better, and the overwhelming majority told me that working under good devs is the best and fastest way to do it. The question remains what size is ideal. Should I join a small startup or a medium sized company or a large one? What has...

yep, all of this makes sense!
customer development basically, right?
excellent! Makes sense
|What needs to be done?

I testing ideas out right now. I will start soon. I have always worked also, so just wanted to get an idea of what to expect from my co-founder.
