> Good management is invaluable

Good management is life and death, particularly for a startup. If you think you can do without it and you're not a good manager yourself then it's going to be a struggle to execute.

> ...you'll deeply regret building on Serverless Functions

Whatever serverless functions promise in scalability, they'll cost you in terms of complexity. Trying to build a cohesive backend entirely in a serverless environment just isn't worth it when it's trivial to boot up a simple, long-running server. Even running locally is a pain in the ass compared to `rails s` or `fastapi dev`.

God forbid your serverless environment is actually on the edge, at which point most of the stuff you're used to using won't work.

Not all backends are web applications. I have built many step functions applications for various ETL type workloads with massive success with little to no complexity. Just because someone doesn't understand the technology doesn't make it "complex"

It would be nice to have any information other than a signup / login form greet you. What the hell am I getting myself into?

Hi,HN link posts are confusing I know but read my initial discussion post. One of the first items there is the demo credentials

Where are SWEs working for 60? I want to hire some.

In my fair city you're lucky to find talent under $200/hr.

I am available for part-time work at $60/hr

After using TypeScript, I’m never going back to vanilla JavaScript if I can help it.

That’s great to hear! Did you find it hard to learn?

Are you against typescript or types in general?
lovetocode · 2 years ago
I love types I just struggle with Typescript a lot because it seems to get in the way for me. I might like it more if I buckled down and really tried to figure it out. It’s probably the slowest language for me to grasp maybe outside of Objective C. When you try to enforce typing on a language that wasn’t designed ground up with types in mind it just rubs me the wrong way. Python type hinting strikes a good balance though.

Is anyone just using vanilla React with no TypeScript or Framework of any kind? I’ve tried Remix and Next js and just find them so cumbersome. Typescript causes me more headaches

Is ghidra safe to use if you consider the NSA an adversary?

Every person I've asked this question has had their noses so far up the NSA's pooper that they could not imagine considering the NSA an adversary.

But suppose you were running a malware honeypot operation for the CCP. Would you still use Ghidra? Why or why not?

And please don't pass the buck and say, "I probably wouldn't be allowed to use ghidra" or "I'd probably use whatever my CCP handler told me to use" or "I wouldn't be working for the CCP in the first place." That does not inform me about the security risks of using ghidra with the NSA as an adversary.

Code is right there -- just look at it.
