I am feeling old reading the phrase "traditional frameworks" as a reference to SPA/Virtual DOM frameworks all while the actual traditional frameworks like Backbone, jQuery, etc. actually worked the way described in the blogpost.
I've actually just did exactly that a few weeks ago.
I knew what to expect from Rails from my previous experience.
Yet, I wasn't prepared for how freaking fast it is to iterate with Rails and some LLM (I use Cursor atm) when you know what you are doing.
The MVP I expected to take at least 2 months to finish, is going to be done in under 3 weeks, with the current speed, given there are no large blockers.

I am on my N-th attempt of making a side-project, after many years of failed or not-finished ones. Every time I get a motivation to do something, I convince myself that this time is different for some reason.
I would love to hear stories where it WAS actually different for you, and you succeeded (by your own definition of success)?

There used to be a relatively popular post here on HN a few years ago with links to multiple similar blog posts where authors collected list of the best value (in their opinion) things and activities. For example, I remember an author argued that hiring a tutor on any new activity is money well spent. Or buying certain items like Aeropress, etcThank you

What tech stack would you choose for building SaaS side projects as a single developer if these were your priorities:- build it once, deploy and forget for months or years;- adding new features is easy (once it's needed once a year or even less frequently). "Easy" here means little time spent reminding yourself how the app works and where to add new features;- deploying is simple and can be...

What it says in the title: for a person who has no time to read HN every day, how do you make sure you are not getting rusty and missing out on important improvements in the field?

How much of the region history do you know? Russia has been invading countries for centuries. You are fooling yourself by reducing the complicated history and relations between Russia and Ukraine to some kind of semi-conspiracy theory about proxy wars and what's not.
Sorry, I am still struggling to see what the VS Code is a commoditized complement to?
It's technically the truth, though :D
- It's a book.
- Had impact on the commenter's life
Thanks for sharing this!
It's been only a few posts so far since I started the blog, but I am actually looking for persons first, and the "coolness" of a setup doesn't really matter to me. In fact, I find a laptop that moves between sofa and a kitchen table as inspiring as some intricate setups. There is something about doing more with less. And I am sure there will be people with such setups featured on the blog, as well.

I really like the "workspace porn" and been frequenting various blogs and communities with workspace setups. It's inspiring and interesting to see how other people organize their workspaces and achieve focus and comfort. And while it's also interesting to see random setups from people with different backgrounds, I especially like to see setups from developers and tech professionals like myself....
Here we come again with the "Ukrainian nationalism" and "coup". So boring. Will you ever update your guide on Russian propaganda? Even the russian troll factory stopped using these arguments like 2 years ago.

Nice list! I love that the Code by Charles Petzold is on it!
I created something similar out of my list of books which I used to navigate the transition to a Tech Lead role: https://techleadcompass.com/. I see that some of the books presented on the OP's list overlap with my list.
Thank you for such a detailed, honest feedback! I really appreciate it!
There are a lot of books on Rails and I don't think I can add much value there.
But approaching at it from a different, more pragmatic "what needs to be done to have it running" angle feels fresh to me. I know of one success story where non-technical founders learned just enough of RoR to build an MVP, but AFAIR it took them several months only to learn to use Ruby/RoR. And it would be exactly this problem that I am trying to solve: bringing it from several months down to several weeks.

Hello,Recently I've been thinking about writing a book or recording a video course on building an MVP with Ruby on Rails framework. It would be specifically targeted at non-technical founders with no prior programming experience.Ruby on Rails happens to be among the most popular programming frameworks for building web apps in startups because of its extensive ecosystem and the tooling out of...
Calling it a "Ukraine crisis" omits mentioning Russia and the full-scale invasion of annihilation and genocide it's conducting. Please, consider calling it "Russian invasion of Ukraine" or similar. Thank you.
Thank you for elaborating!
I still have a question though if you don't mind? Wouldn't a Wordpress or Ghost or anything similar be that GUI? I understand that neither Wordpress or Ghost is SSG but I simply don't see why a photographer, let's say, would care about the underlying technology as long as their art is published online on a nice-looking web page?
I am not trying to downplay your idea. Just really curious if I am not missing an interesting, niche project idea here.
Thank you
Honest question: why do you assume an artist is tech savy enough to deploy the SSG website on every change? Thank you
Wake up, go the the bathroom, look in the mirror and tell myself I don't have depression. Then I grab whatever t-shirt from the pile on the floor, open the laptop and make myself coffee before joining a standup meeting.

Hi HN,
I would like to implement a service or a info product that can bring a couple of $ a month to donate to a charity, but I am out of ideas.
Do you have anything in mind that you don't have time to work on yourself?
Thank you.
I haven't personally hired anyone there, but I've heard a lot of good things about

Can anyone who used both this and PopOS compare their experiences?
What's the purpose of a "good" router? I am using a TP-Link provided my Internet provider and it just works?... Maybe I am missing something.
