Startup Reflections - 2 years in https://t.co/yIzZl6rRhI

For anyone thinking of cutting corporate ties into the startup world, or who's struggling with the challenges of having done that.

@ranman @realchrisebert I feel your pain - that was why I felt I had to leave after five and a half years, sadly.

To anyone thinking of moving to @O2 as a #mobile provider, don’t. Their Customer Services have repeatedly misled and lied to me, costing over 10x more for a mobile contract than I had budgeted, despite repeated assurances that it would not. I will never willingly use them again.

Have you ever wondered how much a ton of carbon dioxide actually is? Here's a ton as a sphere of carbon dioxide gas and as a cube (at 15 °C and 1 atm)

@reneeshah123 Also https://t.co/s2tHiRWZUB for Local-first with support for graph data, strong security features, robust data integrity, etc.

@railair I’m not happy with your customer service: 18:46 RA2 from T5 to Woking arrived on time but refused to pick up any passengers, with no explanation. If cancelling a service, at least explain why, and when a replacement will be provided.

This site has a nice alternative front-end to ChatGPT (and means you don't have to exhaust your own ChatGPT question quota 😁). Here's the n00b zsh question I asked: https://t.co/PZuSwfAHkB

@leoebfolsom @Grady_Booch That’s something AWS has been quite vocal about: the economies of scale and the ultra-high resource utilisation of physical cloud resources makes for prodigious energy efficiency.

[Angus McAllister @urgetosplurge]

@apthenderson @dhh @QuinnyPig That’s what I came here to do! @QuinnyPig’s crew exists to solve this problem, to help organisations get the best from cloud without breaking the bank.

For folks with relatively little knowledge of mobile app development, this looks like quite a good introductory article (even if it is a subtle advert for SitePoint’s learning content!)

@Grady_Booch And since some of Illumina’s expire shortly, it seems that cost may halve again to $100 next year if Ultima Genomics bring their machine to market in time.

[Angus McAllister @urgetosplurge]

@Grady_Booch It’s a bit harsh calling him a charlatan. True, fully autonomous vehicles have not come to pass, but Tesla and SpaceX have still been truly disruptive. Without his drive, we’d be way further behind on electric cars going mainstream.

@jamesoff @github Ooh, how extra-annoying! Good thing there weren’t (yet) any issues attached to the page. And GH Support has acknowledged this is an issue that others have, and that they’re working on it.

[Angus McAllister @urgetosplurge]

Annoyed with @github Wiki functionality: if you rename a page, even slightly, other people's contribution metadata disappears. A quick search for others encountering this issue turns up no results, surprisingly; I'll be raising a new one shortly....

[Angus McAllister @urgetosplurge]

@linkedktk @semanticarts Great article, thanks for sharing. The point that really hit home was "Semantics...is not a discipline that takes over where normalization ends, it is the discipline that takes over before normalization begins". Absolutely chimes with my experience in integration!

[Angus McAllister @urgetosplurge]

Looks like a nice middle ground between CLI and conventional point-and-click, since you can visualise the changes to your infrastructure more easily.

Working on landings is satisfying AF.

Yep, that's a live & functioning embedded version of the product on the page.

[Angus McAllister @urgetosplurge]

@Grady_Booch @OscarMackJr Wish I’d learned it when I had the opportunity.

[Georges Duverger @gduverger]

Do you use Webflow?

I'm doing some research. I have a few questions. Ping me, please. 🙏

[Angus McAllister @urgetosplurge]

@Jay52_TX This looks like it was a pretty cool project - thanks for sharing the background and details! I found it while searching for "data synchronization". Curious to know: how different would your approach have been if you used @m_ld_io for the persistence and sync?

[Angus McAllister @urgetosplurge]

@ValaAfshar That's pretty cool! And if you want to produce 3D prints of them, here's an equally cool bit of tech: https://t.co/wJ9bmxrxcM
