> It's odd to always say "Hashicorp, an IBM company". Looks like they want to assign blame.

All their branding does this now, including the HashiCorp logo on their website [0]. There's gotta be a name for this specific branding pattern, but I don't know it.

When I see words like nestable and infinite, I assumed this would be something where you can draw a diagram and then zoom in or out to see it at different detail levels. IE, draw a CPU diagram and zoom out and it becomes a simple box. Then you construct a motherboard around it. So I can see it as a simple block diagram at motherboard level, but as I zoom in the motherboard disappears and I am in the context of the CPU, seeing things like cache locations, cores, etc.

This is a product I REALLY want. Since I want to be able to diagram entire complex systems without always seeing 10,000 boxes on screen. You could start a presentation at 35,000 feet, showing the entire rough structure, then zoom into different regions where more detail will appear (infinitely)

Nestable feels more like excalidraw, with a folder/file structure?

I've been working on something that might be worth giving a try! [1] It's built more for specifically for software architecture rather than general whiteboarding, but we just recently added custom icon uploads so you could add whatever icons you want if you're more interested in hardware. The 'logical component' operates in two modes, one which is just a group, and one where it acts like a sub-board that scales its contents to fit the box.

There is none. Unless YC has EU assets, they could go after those.

My understanding of it is that HN/YCombinator would also have to be targeting EU customers directly, such as by offering the service in EU languages (english probably wouldn't count) or offering prices in EU currencies.

On my first pass of the title on the front page I figured this was going to be a Legend of Zelda game... This article is not as fun as LoZ, not even in the slightest.

How about a description of what the company does that a mere mortal could understand?

Their main product is an Enterprise Service Bus, a piece of technology that is supposed to help make it easy for software developers to integrate with multiple disparate third party solutions (and potentially internal solutions). So you can get a "Connector" for SAP, and another for Salesforce and consolidate, transfer or do practically whatever with the data in both systems, without having a bunch of developers working on an in-house solution to consume the requisite APIs.

My one criticism of them would be they focus very heavily on cloud, and their on-premises offering is woefully anaemic, lacking fundamental functionality, such as messaging.

huddo121 commented on Ask HN: When and how should I release my open source tool?    · Posted by u/flaque

Release it straight away.

Don't worry about the code looking dirty, embryonic code always does. If it's a big enough tool it may warrant setting up a GitHub Pages site for it, just to make it a bit easier to find when somebody is suffering from the same problems you were.

In terms of new features, once you've put the repo on GitHub (or wherever) other people will likely suggest features as issues or modify the program themselves (and hopefully open a PR).

As someone that has spent the last two years migrating legacy code, I can assure you, you do find bugs in legacy code.

I've seen bugs that user's don't notice.

I've seen bugs that user's have just gotten used to.

I've seen bugs where that failures it caused were dismissed as the system being a bit temperamental, for many years.

I've seen bugs that financially affected thousands of customers, and remained unnoticed over the course of several years.

I've even seen bugs that only remained because, by luck, the preconditions to trigger it had not been met.

I can assure you, you do find bugs in legacy code.
