I concur. Really great post! Been an engineer for a while, starting to prepare to put together SaaS products, so this will be useful to come back to. Thank you, OP!

I agree. It is indeed a novel project, but has little to actually do with TeX.

and now for something completely different...

Such a solid article. Refreshing to read this.

This is an excellent essay about both writing and being so different.

an awesome (in the literal sense) piece of work - hardware, software, engineering, design, communication, promotion

welcome development. apparent that Firefox is paying attention what's happening in JS world...

Feels like Medium is clutching at straws after failing with the Members-Only content model...

so novel and simple!

No, but I'd say it's more than that, given the article.

Great answer.

Why can't CEOs just build products and help customers and abstain from moral crusades?

Written a few songs. This article is good advice and it captures the process really well. It honors the sporadic nature of idea generation. #2 is incredibly true, just capture them, even if you're driving on a highway! You'll never get the moment back...

#3 and #4 are novel. I'm glad I've learned about them now.

#5 and #8 is a matter of schools of thought. I don't agree. And perhaps because I've written 10 verses drivelling about love. :) I think that if the 10 verses are adequately compelling, through construction and message, then it can lock in a listener. Pandering only to what works in hits is limiting, in my view.

#6, #9, and #10 is also evidence of a mature songwriter. H/t.

Pretty measured essay. I went through my own LaTex fetish phase. The typesetting can get in the way of the writing. I've found it easier to first write in a text editor and then start typesetting once I'm pretty much sure of the content.

The logical conclusion of the intersection of capitalism and social media...

Commend Houseparty for their resilience. Can't be easy while the cat is staring you down, planning your demise.

this is incredibly fascinating and insightful.

side question: who composed the music? the guitar track is excellent. :)

this looks promising. I like how it teaches the concepts using plain Javascript without focusing on a tool or library. Kudos.

No. Do I need to in order to crack a half-joke? :)

i think the points raised, that addiction is normalized and that society decides what is an "addiction" or not, is novel and fresh.

this reminds me of a dark joke.

a rabbit was detained by the secret police. the interrogator asks him, "what are you?" the rabbit says, "rabbit"

They torture, beat, and electrocute him for days.

Then, the interrogator asks him, "who told you you're a rabbit?"

h/t to CircleCI for doing this kind of work in the tech industry.

Had an aha moment reading this post. It makes sense now. This sentence mirrors my own recent experience: "These kinds of things are ones which I would relay to them via phone or in person and not post about publicly."

the most un-Medium article I've read on Medium in a long time. great execution!

good essay. i like the somber tone that neither glorifies nor pscyhologies her father's disease.

great concept. i'd say it's more intelligent and meaningful promotion rather than succumbing to hipsterism...

"... one of the last things that kept me on Facebook—after I had largely stopped posting and reading the News Feed—was simply checking my notifications. I unconsciously craved that little hit of happiness one gets when they see, So-and-so liked your post. But that’s not real happiness. It’s an unhealthy addiction."

This is true, especially of my current use of Facebook.

such a great thread, guys. thank you.

this is excellent.
