Really love this style of writing. Pairing the diagrams/illustrations with the easy to grok copy is really helpful for folks like myself who have been mainly focused on the front-end.
What tool do you use for your diagramming, is it all hand-drawn?

How can I share this with a coworker without being rude haha?

Speaking of weird ways to name something, why did you write it as $WORK? It doesn't look like it's publicly traded.

Wow, this might be more disruptive than the AWS outages. Remote companies should have some sort of backup plan for when this happens.

Half of these tools are behind a demo and don't show pricing, yours included. Usually that is because it's too costly, and it becomes a non-starter for me.

This is really unhelpful, can you recommend a better list for 2022?

Yeah, I feel like it only works in Chrome. After a few minutes of having it open in Firefox the quality degrades to the point it becomes unusable.

We're expecting our second here in a few months, and from my research it's really expensive and most folks would be better off donating. I feel like banks feed too much off of peoples fears instead of the better good. What are the odds of someone needing their own cord blood vs. it being a publicly accessible thing? It feels like donating blood to a bank to store it for myself in case I ever need it.
Again, it's an exciting field with a lot of really good outcomes, but it kind of plays into the whole, "what if something happens to your kid fear" to sell it to people, instead of thinking about all the other kids that you could be saving.

It's a fairly popular trend now, doing exactly what OP said. It usually involves buying a few acres and trying to be self-sufficient. Of course there's a subreddit for it https://www.reddit.com/r/homestead/

This is pretty common in a lot of ToS, if you use their stuff (especially for free) they want to be able to use you on their nascar page of logos, or in their pitch decks. I don't really see what's wrong with that?

Sorry I wasn't trying to downplay your response, I agree it is the only hope we can actually have these days.
It's awesome that you are giving back though, Hawaii has got to be a really fascinating and challenging case study for conservation vs. consumerism.

Apologies, I'm based in Pennsylvania and it's definitely more noticeable here. I expect it will become more apparent elsewhere too.
We're at 3x the total population that existed when europeans started settling here, and without an appropriate way to cull the herd I don't see that changing. We have milder winters (so no starvation), less interest in hunting, and again a lack of natural predators.
It's the HN algorithm which is probably due to the fact that other posts from his domain have done relatively well, plus the actual poster here has quite a bit of karma.
