Cool! I would have expected a ton of things like this, but there really aren't.

If it's free, though, who pays for your hosting?

Didn’t seem to work. “Load failed” when I entered my email address. Then “email rate limit exceeded” when I tried again

Interesting - why do you say it would be nice if the posted stated that it was an affiliate link? Do you feel it takes away an option from you or reduces the link's value?

I love the ideas but when did Xs/tweets become so long?

Good thing Plato was able to write this down.

Why is an additional entry in the browser history added by default?

Wouldn't actually using Excel create less friction for potential users?

Your target audience is theoretically Excel users who want/need to code instead, but I think you're alienating the power users of Excel, because their power tools are unavailable in the Mito spreadsheet editor.

For example, have you considered dumping the dataframes to "smart" xlsx files with backing code that connects to a local server, listens to worksheet events and tells the server everything that happens so it can write python code in the source notebook?

Applause for the effort but I doubt that this will become popular. Music notation has been a certain way for hundreds of years for musicians around the world – a notation with the universal legibility of mathematics.

However, as someone who sight-reads all of his piano music, I'd be interested in experiencing if this makes sight-reading any easier or harder. It's taken many years of experience to be able to spot and predict patterns several measures ahead of where I'm playing, and I wonder if future musicians could get to advanced sight-reading levels more quickly using an alternative notation.

This is why Semantle is better than Wordle

What a completely different user experience.

At some point, DBaaS systems should be able to understand and make inferences about your use cases, to the point where indexes and other performance optimizations are automated whenever you register a new query or something. This would be the new era of database systems, and as the article points out is increasingly true about all “infrastructure” concerns.

Thanks! I would love to hear from you directly about your cooking experience or any feedback on the app. Email me any time :)

Highly subjective article.

You should of course practice solving the kind of problem you want to solve or enjoy solving.

If you’re optimizing for an IC career at a large company, then you should of course practice that kind of work (and get mentored and get depth and everything the article says).

If you’re an engineer trying to transition to building businesses or being an investor, then you should of course NOT do what the article suggests. You should instead practice startup problems (probably at startups or by starting your own), like prioritization and resource allocation and networking.

And if that’s the goal, then you can easily find business mentors or startup mentors that will make an impact on your career, and what the article pejoratively calls “breadth” in software problems will actually turn out to be depth in business or startup problems (like prioritization and resource allocation and networking).

tl;dr – Sure, find mentorship and get experience, but make sure you articulate your goals first.

Awesome idea, and even more awesome execution!

This exhibits the halting problem, no?

I tried to use DDG, but now I don’t because I never knew whether it was just my DDG search that had been unsuccessful or whether there were truly no results.

In fact, I wouldn’t know with any search engine whether there are “truly no results”, so I use G because I prefer to get what’s widely accepted to be the closest results possible.

Not related to Elixir, but I disagree with the last point: you should not have test assertions inside loops at all, because it makes a test less readable and the diagnosis harder when a test fails.

You shouldn’t have to unpack complexity just to understand where a test failed or whether it failed because of bad test code or bad tested code.

Once you have so much complexity that reading and mentally executing the test takes time, you should probably be writing tests of your unit tests.

Thanks for these insights!

Analogy to movie production is spot on, I think. I suppose game dev is also different from other software/tech products because releasing continuous updates is harder. Also, players expect more from the first published version of a game: it shouldn't merely be playable (compare: early adopters could pay money for a SaaS MVP) but already polished, fun, engaging, well-designed. I've never worked on hardware products or products in heavily regulated areas, like health care, but I suppose the production cycle is just as tough.

The original versions of Game Maker were how I got into computer programming, many years ago :) It taught me about these magical things called arguments/parameters, and 'steps' (run loops), and objects. The first game I ever made was a Mario clone but you were an ant who stomped on other bugs in a garden, and I made it with Game Maker.

I love the idea! But I agree here. It only clicked for me when I read “ (e.g. a dentist website builder!)”.

Oliver, props on your business and thanks for the interesting insights. I’m really disappointed in HN today though.

Thanks! did not see that before. Will keep the complaints to myself :)

Thank you. I don't understand why people continue to post paywalled content on HN.

Definitely not the obvious interpretation. Parallel structure of “should ... ie should ...” strongly suggests that the poster meant people in jail should not exist

what? (.cd)
