Re:Ask HN: Best resources to learn code testing on Tuesday October 10, 2023 @04:51PM (#37837290)
This book was really helpful for me. It broke down how to structure tests, what results in brittle tests, what to avoid to keep tests maintainable. I believe it answers most of your questions.

Thanks for the details! That's a really cool idea. Do happen to remember roughly when it was posted or any keywords I should search for?

Sadly this appears to be spam. Those sites either have been taken offline or they're completely unrelated to the topic.

I'd love to find that Show HN post. Any help would be much appreciated. I've search for it using a variety of keywords but still can't find it.
Re:Ask HN: Will Bootstrapping See a Resurgence? on Tuesday October 03, 2023 @11:41AM (#37753378)
Boot strapping is definitely my preferred route for many reasons including what you mentioned. I'm interested in learning more about how to use an existing userbase to create more products, pricing, and product / market fit. I'm almost done reading Monetizing Innovation and can't wait to try some of the things I've learned in the book. What else do you recommend reading?
Re:Ask HN: Carpal Tunnel Recommendations? on Friday December 05, 2014 @11:51PM (#8708393)
I got Carpal tunnel last year when I was putting in too many hours(60+) for several months. Switching to a Kinesis Advantage Pro keyboard and a RollerMouse Red worked for me. I tried other ergonomic mice (including Evoluent and Anker) and they just shifted the pain. The RollerMouse was the only one that I could use with no pain. I think it is because there is no gripping involved and it allows you to distribute the click force over all your fingers instead of focusing it on just one finger. Moving the mouse from the right hand to the left hand didn't help it just resulted in Carpal tunnel in my left hand.

I also found hanging on my fingers from a pull-up bar and rock climbing helped my hand and fingers heal.

https://www.focusatwill.com works well. I also create a Spotify station by searching for "background music"
