This is such a waste of time. If someone wants to bypass this it will be rather simple. Just change the words. If someone wants to avoid fingerprinting they will. Can’t we just focus on building rather than spending brainpower on these ridiculous sidequests

Good code is the specification.

Wait, are these considered products? I think the whole indie hacker scene has totally lost it. A product takes time. ”Painkillerideas.com” doesn’t sounds like a product - and this was his biggest win

This made me feel very old. Too me it’s 100% logical and not a mystery - while I fully understand that it’s super-weird for people born after 1990

I really didn’t agree with the author on this book. I however liked his other books

I think you are right and that the financial model is a total blind spot to the lawmakers. Never mind the fact that Volvo (or any other be maker) makes the bulk of its money from new car sales. Volvo used to make a lot of money from spares and repairs but that company was divested many many years ago. Now all the money is coming from new vehicle sales.

This article feels like it’s written by someone who wants the boom to be over. Just spending a few hours with AutoGPT made me realize it’s very far dram over. It just started.

This is just virtue signaling and the IETF shouldn’t play along with some company’s business needs… sad to see.

Gitlab does this and sometimes it takes 3-5 seconds. But navigating directly to a repository page bypasses this check.

I LOVE the idea but the language itself is so ugly I don’t want to learn it. It looks really ugly. Sorry.
