They are just asserting the intent, not the result.

Addictive, fun, quick, yet interesting and subtle if you're into strategy games. I think you have a potential winner on your hands. Some polish and tweak may be needed based on feedback here, but a mobile app could make a killing

I fully agree with your example. I have disabled the return rule, and I am enforcing that we add an explicit return in our codebase.

Ruby is a tool that I use the way I want, not the other way round

At one point, I was helping a great speaker build her first conference, which was a smashing success. When we turned on the ticketing platform on, orders started pouring in

In parallel, I was building my first side project, or more precisely I was starting to add pricing for the first time to a side project

As a result I had, at the same time, a stream of several thousands of euros, and MY FIRST 19€ from something I BUILT MYSELF

I was incredibly more proud of the latter. There is a sense of pride, of accomplishment, in thinking that you've built something useful enough for someone to open their wallet for you

Good job on your part and keep sailing!

"L'enfer, c'est les autres". I don't know what "the Other" you're referring to, "the other people" seems correct to me in meaning. IANAPhilosopher tho

As with all usage-based product, when you start it is cheap (much cheaper than building on your own), then as you grow your resources will hopefully scale with the number of users.

If your resources don't scale with usage, yes, you have a problem, but I'd say not limited to algolia

It was absolutely magical even at the start

I was a very inexperienced developer with tutorial-level experience of Rails, and I learned javascript from Algolia client tutorial. I have a 50-emails support thread with their CEO and CTO when they were doing YC.

This level of patience and care at onboarding a new dev was incredible and I always rooted for them. I came to know them better a few years later (small world) and they are absolutely adorable, very down to earth and modest despite their tremendous growth

But one thing has not changed : when you implement Algolia in a project, it feels like magic. The speed + convenience combo is unbeatable

No it shouldn't (even if I agree with your sentiment about company, growth and probably life in general). People interested in coop model have a legitimate interest in proving that it can work for various business size

it matters but not in the sense that everybody should aim for a super large corporation.

It matters because it validates that cooperatives can grow very large, and refutes the claims such as "yes it's nice, but of course it works only for small ventures and could never grow)

you can buy bags of dry herbs in the supermarkets

Dashlane is somewhat ok. The mobile experience is broken (you'd have to use their browser I guess, never tried), and you probably cannot install it behind a corporate firewall

but I'm a happy customer for 5 years because of a killer feature : the ability to share passwords with my wife across our desktop and laptops, for all the websites we need to access both (from library to utilities, official websites, kids schools, etc, etc)

This looks like a very healthy process, of people questionning their own results ! The scientific method, as it should be. beautiful

Slack API does that too

(to their credit, the docs are very complete and clear, even if their API design is questionable)
