Their offering is for upstarts who don’t have any existing devops infrastructure


When you navigate to an AMP site there is a very clear icon at the top to click and go to the site's actual domain. I don't understand what this letter is so upset about - if they have such a problem, they should build their own search engine.


Google Netflix Facebook etc. could stand to benefit by being able to afford faster speeds than younger smaller companies. The cost to compete is going to be higher, thus easier to maintain monopoly status.


Hey how about you spit ball some of those ideas over here? I bet there's plenty of hungry programmers in here eager to make them come to life


I have ideas for crazy things. Here are some:

Make a Wikipedia for code. Not a wikipedia about code, but a Wikipedia where the pages are the code. No references to outside tools/libraries, all the functions are either in the base language or references to other wikipedia-of-code pages. The pages are presented in a literate programming style.

Bring back the Inferno OS, but replace the original VM (Dis) with the Microsoft CLR.

Make a P2P publishing system for scientific publications. Let the contributing scientists have individual accounts, and manage reputations with a blockchain reputation system. Let people also donate their CPU cycles to scientific computations through this system. Require publications to store their data in a database format that your system's client can query and process with some programming language. Require all data tables, and results that appear in the publication's text be expressed as functions performed on data queried from the database (or potentially databases from other publications.)


Random idea: How about a mobile multi-player game where any player can grab and throw digital balls found around them and the goal is to get them in specific spots? They could be found using GPS/augmented reality and you could shoot them using your phone's sensors by swinging the phone or a gun/canon app with specified settings for example.


I've tried to find a technical co-founder a couple of times, it didn't work out. I think there are just so many "idea guys", it's hard to differentiate the good ones from bad ones.

I've been successful enough with my ideas that I just hire programmers and designers and just bootstrap everything myself. It's just easier that way.


That is not an example of Brandolini's law. It took a whole website to spew the bullshit but only 3 or so sentences for you to refute it.


garbage_stain is only refuting a very small part of the entire website. Imagine the amount of effort to properly refute the entire website addressing each BS point.


This reminds me of those flip-books you made when you were younger (or of current age, whatever).

Really been enjoying these podcasts. Very cool to hear these first-hand stories


So you're saying a company that profits from disrespecting artists around the world is troubled?


Great app, I've been looking for a simple, bare bones budget tracking app.

I think you need to fix the flow for the first time users. If every first time user must add a currency, why not have first time user screen be the add currency screen? Also, the add currency screen should have suggestions. It wasn't initially clear that I needed to type 'USD' instead of 'dollar'. It also wasn't clear that the currency needed to be in capital letters. I had usd in lowercase and clicking the check mark did nothing. There should at least be feedback.

The app is great once getting past the first screen. Nice job.


I will take notes, I have been thinking about the "onboarding" process and I do agree with all of your feedback. Thanks.
