New comment by Summerbud in "Ask HN: What are you working on? (March 2025)"

Summerbud — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 11:59:21 +0000

I am working a SaaS document asset management services called Doccie

At the same time I am exploring the boundary of my ability to think deeper

Thus writing a monthly newsletter that will span for 10 years. Right now it has a open rate over 70%

https://connectingdotsessay.substack.com/

Here are the essays

## Eight Grade syndrome - why grand narrative vision is killing your startup

If you think crafting a grand narratives of your idea is the crucial first step of building a startup, this essay is for you.

## Explorer Mindset - In a world where algorithms decide what we see, how can we rediscover the joy of unexpected discoveries?

If you feel trapped in a narrow view point, surrounded by the veil, and lack of creation muse, this article is for you.

## Why I show up everyday. The peddle, podium, creators and us.

If you are interested in why I started this newsletter and what I learned from it so far, this essay is for you.

Any feedback is appreciated!

New comment by Summerbud in "Most people don't care about quality"

Summerbud — Thu, 02 Jan 2025 01:25:17 +0000

I am glad to read this article which poke around the idea of "Pixel Perfection", for me that is indeed time-wasted, and I don't know why there are lots of company keeps saying they want this kind of "Perfection".

But I do believe people care quality, what they did is comparing the quality with price, Netflix is a bad example since it's so cheap (compared to seeing movie or a show in theater). The viewer saw a bad movie they will just think, oh well, I don't care.

New comment by Summerbud in "Glue Work Considered Harmful"

Summerbud — Thu, 02 Jan 2025 01:12:19 +0000

I think this article treat result as the resaon, company didn't incentivize the "Glue work" is not purely they don't want to and also "They don't know how to do that".

Ask ourselves, calculate one's efficiency is already hard, how to calculate one's effectiveness on other's efficiency. Just like author said.

> If individual employees are willing to lift their local team to 80% or 90% efficiency by burning their time on glue work, companies will take that free value

They take it for granted without really calculating the benefit. That is part of the reason why a small, gifted, and high-efficiency startup can operate and take over these giant company.

It all depends on what you want to achieve

Ask HN: Do you feel that time is limited and you are running out of it?

Summerbud — Thu, 24 Oct 2024 04:50:29 +0000

Something keep bothering me recently, it causes me nervous, anxious and even induce imposter syndrome. And when I digged down, I discovered that it's some "You are running out of time" kind of anxiety.

And I can't really solve the puzzle, yet.

Wondering is there anyone whom has a period of time constantly felt like this way? And how did you get out of it?

New comment by Summerbud in "Huly – Open-source project management platform"

Summerbud — Mon, 14 Oct 2024 12:24:28 +0000

Personal observation: Company use this strategy to redirect user into using their cloud platform and open-source is an go-to-market strategy.

I think this pattern is not that harsh if they have a script to guarantee setting up a k8s cluster or some sort of that.
