Every 2nd SaaS with a startup plan? I used intercom/customer.io/segment/amplitude/mixpanel for free for a year.

Or perhaps it's laziness and bad writing not to give courtesy and spell out acronyms the first time it's used.

Makes my blood boil that I have to open ChatGPT, paste the link and ask what the hell is ADB.

New comment by HatchedLake721 in "Angular v22"

Angular (and e.g. Ember) are the “Rails” of frontend frameworks.

React/Vue/Svelte are view libraries that give you more flexibility.

Angular gives you structure.

For large enterprise apps with many developers, consistency and standardization is often the main reason people choose it.

It’s not this websites thinking, it’s every tech person’s thinking.

Apple is an example of great consumer focus vs tech requests of “but I want to run Kubernetes on my iPad it’s powerful enough”.

That’s thanks to Steve Jobs. iPhone was a #1 smartphone for a decade without ever mentioning the RAM or CPU MHz in the announcements or marketing material. Even if there was less RAM or worse specs than the Snapdragon at the time, iPhone was still faster and sold more.

This philosophy is still at the core of Apple.

I wish more companies worked this way, but I don’t know anyone even close.

I’m not so sure. Focus still matters.

Will OpenAI with dozens of “verticals” be as good as a vertical focused SaaS?

They can ship a CRM/iPaaS/tables, but will they be better than Salesforce/Zapier/Airtable?

I don’t think so, I think it’ll just end up as bloat.

New comment by HatchedLake721 in "Ember.js 7.0"

Ember is not Backbone or Marionette, both of them are stagnant. Ember’s actively maintained and improved with 6 week release cycles and LTS versions.

Ember on frontend is what Rails is on backend: less fashionable, opinionated, mature, and still useful when you value long-term app consistency over ecosystem hype and new JS framework of the month.

We had the same issue hiring 8 years ago in the UK.

Since then I realized I’ll never require a react/vue/angular/ember/svelte/etc experience, just go for good JavaScript developers with frontend experience, framework doesn’t matter.

Took them a week or two to understand the Ember patterns that’s it.

I think we overcomplicate, all these frameworks are just slightly different ways how to build web apps, the core patterns are the same. Anyone experienced can pick any of these frameworks in matter of days or weeks.

Same on the backend, great if you’ve have experience with any of the express/hapi/koa/nest/fastify/hono, but if you don’t have experience with the one we use, it’s still fine. Hire good engineers, not good “framework” engineers.

/s ? Bun is not yet (ever?) compatible with Node. I'm sure if Node JS could trim the fat with breaking changes they'd be fast too

I assume these are the ones Ukraine sold to Middle East to avoid wasting multimillion Patriot missiles against cheap Iranian drones?

That's a very narrow and technical person's point of view.

You might need it open source, the majority of the world doesn't care, like they don't care Windows is closed source, or like AWS is a "cloud" running somewhere else. Both of them are building blocks that made "the world better and more robust".

It’s like saying no one needs Dropbox because rsync exists, or no one needs HubSpot because Salesforce exists.

EU/France has Mistral.
