The amount of bureaucracy a typical adult deals with is astonishing. I remember hearing once that it may be economical for some families to group together and appoint one person responsible for dealing with bureaucracy + 'professional' consumerism a la Costco deals and such.
How ironic that all that individualism will lead to a communal living arrangements again - at least for those wanting to create families.
Intentionally shifting the meaning of the term opensource is unacceptable. Open source means surrendering your monopoly over commercial exploitation of your code.
Hmmm, it seems I repeatedly have this discussion with others re: ORMs are inferior. If there is one point I initially wanted the article to make is to use relational databases first, and ORMs second. (i.e: as opposed to NoSQL solutions.) Perhaps I should edit the intro to the article to reflect that.
B2B apps developed in the west are unlikely to be useful for developing markets given the disparate priorities and market structure between developing and developed economies.
However, for B2C products (e. g: Figma, PhotoPea) you could charge a much lower price based on billing address, similar to how for example Spotify costs much less in the Philippines than in the UK.
It's sad and upsetting, but when will people learn that Facebook, Google et al do not care at all about individual users? Their model simply does not factor in the worries of a single user.
(Worse is how they want to propagate the idea that software should be free and of highest quality, thus preventing any communal attempts at creating different models.)
David Spivak and other folks at Azimuth Forum[0] have been great at providing high quality discussions on ideas in this course and others. Many thanks.
That's great to hear. I have had the same impulse when I joined the previous organization I worked for - documenting how things are done not just by me, but by as many parts of the organization as possible. Managers were impressed by the idea but no one would like to do it themselves, you had to interview them one by one haha.
That's very interesting, thank you for replying. Do you work in media/video or such? 200 TB is a lot! Also unraid is interesting, for 30 storage devices it costs a one time fee of 120 dollars, is that correct?
