Quick system design q-. how would you build this feature given that your app has 38.26M total users and 4.1M daily active users, and the state of Mississippi has a population of 2.943M?. Note that the law requires platforms to retain the identifying information of users under 18.

baby didn’t want to eat last night so I said I’d play her a video of baby hippos if she ate. so she ate a bunch of mac & cheese and baked chicken, threw it all up, I bathed her, then she went to sleep and woke up with a massive blowout. please clap.

I can’t tell you how often I find myself staring at projects that are “it will take 2 devs 2 quarters”. I’m sure I’m annoying but idc. I like to ask what are you shipping toward this goal in week 1? What’s getting released week 2? etc. SHIP MORE OFTEN.

The ability to break large eng projects into *independently valuable* incremental steps is the most important skill for senior engineers to develop. Literally no one knows how to completely solve a large eng problem ahead of time. (shameless link to my own blog on this below).

This reminds me of the time that a bizdev lead at a previous job presented a spreadsheet that said “even if our product captured only 1% of the TAM we’d make so much money” so building it was an obvious choice. Unfortunately we captured 0%.

Sometimes, using simple math to back into projections will ruin a sexy proforma.

i texted the lawnmower guy to say i fixed the mower but to still come over. he came and looked it over, told me i did a good job and the machine doesn’t need anything. i asked him a bunch of questions, he gave me a bunch of tips to keep it running well, and i paid him $50.

I used to not use React Server Components for anything, then I went and read up how they can help me, so now I still don't use them for anything.

Oof. 67% would prefer to rarely or never use RSC. Eager to see if this changes when other frameworks have a stable implementation.

Jaguar replaced an outdated logo that exploited animals and replaced it with a clean and modern font with a sleek elegance that matches the brand’s luxury image.

One day I would like to see a logo redesign that made it look better instead of soulless and terrible. Can anyone give a counterexample?

It's $99 for them to show up to give me an estimate to do the work. But they can't even tell me what this service may cost. Thanks private equity.

Spent some time reading the thread again. I think the thread format takes away from the point he's trying to make which isn't that Notion > Google Docs but that Notion's CRDTs are architected differently so their offline mode has to be built differently.

So for 5 years, “offline” has been the #1 request. Today, thanks to the perseverance of our engineering team, @NotionHQ finally works offline. Your ideas don’t need Wi‑Fi to exist!. For Notion community: thank you for your patience while we built this right. This is a journey,

This feels like one of those things where you think your product is superior because it is more technically complex. Not a dunk. Do Google Docs users care that their documents are not graphs of interconnected blocks where tasks link to databases and knowledge bases?.

And unlike Google Docs, Notion isn’t just pages. It’s a graph of interconnected blocks where tasks link to databases and link to knowledge base. So we had to invent what didn’t exist, and migrate 100M+ users gracefully behind the scenes with zero downtime. 3/n
