To me that sounds like Atlassian is leaving a lot of money on the table

> because most people are driving the Web, and the only way to make the Web bearable is to load yourself up with huge toolchains.

Are you talking about browser app toolchains? If so, I disagree. HTML and CSS are all you need, with some vanilla JS. For example, HN users love the fact that it’s fast and responsive. It doesn’t use huge toolchains of React or whatever

Using huge tool chains is making the internet slower and more painful for devs & users.

But if you’re talking about dev tool chains for templating, I follow the “less is more” here too. Some templating tools can speed a dev up, but learning a dozen tools is really a waste of time

Well Google is going to charge you $240 annually for a TB of storage now.

Most of Google’s product strategy has been bait & switch, and I saythat with all due to respect to the engineers. It’s the leaders who make these decisions

No, that is a narrow view of history. The history of propaganda, yellow journalism, sensationalism and fake news has a long and storied history beyond today's talking heads

Hosting yourself is better than Google reading and disabling your account because you used a couple words that might violate it's TOS. I can't imagine a researcher trying to write a book in Google Docs about 1960's civil rights without tripping Google's abuse engines. It is creepy

This is truly incredible to me.

You're drawing a conclusion that isn't there. The AG is not never said they reviewed Tether's books and it was indeed 1:1

I get it, thanks. Instead, Could you write about them, rather than the code? I'm picturing lessons learned, don't try ABC it's a waste of time, and so on..

That sounds interesting! How were these built? In the same Arc language? Any chance this can be open sourced?

I read the post but didn’t understand why they had to walk. Why did they not get their $800k back?

It becomes a tax dodge only when you renounce your US citizenship, which some millionaires have done already, such as Eduardo Saverin
