Congrats on the launch.
Once I submit a question I can see the answer but the question is gone. I think it'd be nice to keep the question around in the UI (or a log of questions?)
I do not see anything while dreaming. It is a constant source of slight anxiety as I can be quite conscious and the blindness is puzzling. In daily life I can project myself in some mental space (ie my kitchen) and perceive where the boundaries of things would be, but none of this process has anything to do with vision of sight. It's more like extend proprioception.
If you place your hand on a wall, then close your eyes, then remove your hand, I suspect you'll still feel where the wall is. Even if you picture something completely different in your head, the wall is still there I suppose? My guess is that my extend proprioception (or whatever the right name for this would be) is more fine tuned and apt than someone with a mind eye, but I can't really know. :|
I also do not hear sounds while dreaming, but then again I don't really have an inner monologue anymore, that went away at the same time I learned programming and I don't think it's a coincidence. I do verbalize in my head when reading conversation-like stuff (HN, slack, etc.), but you won't catch me with any internal monologue while reading ingredients, jira tickets, etc.
While dreaming, I can have conversations but there's no gradual arrival of content, it's instantaneous, it was not yet "said" or it was.
I did, but I was going when I did so. Spent more time outdoor looking far, then close, then far, etc. I've become aware of the duration of the transition in focus and it now serves as a warning side. Whenever it seems to take longer to focus on far-away things I know I need to do some more exercice. Went from needing glasses (which I declined) and seeing everything blurry to having a great vision I can't complain about.
> But as things get more complicated, where does the business logic live? Maybe in the database as stored procedures? It's less crazy than it sounds.
I've worked with a bunch of systems like this before. One was just a collection of PHP scripts that would trigger SQL queries. Another one was all lambdas and Cron jobs on top of mssql stored procedures.
If you have a decent team and if you use version control as intensely as you would with code, I have no reason to believe this cannot work. To be fair, those condition are true regarding of tech and architecture.
What you cannot do easily though is pivot, hire, and scale. This is what bit those teams I worked with and why those specific systems are no longer around.
Fwiw this is the core concept behind React, and it is approached in a nice way there as far as my opinion goes. I'm unclear about general purpose programming languages but seems like other comments have good suggestions
GoogleAds has a system like this behind the scene where trademark holders need to whitelist the specific GoogleAds accounts that want to use their trademark keywords.
No idea how widely used or effective this is though.
