I wonder how Peter's views might have changed in the last three months.

I think that's a misconception.
It's quite possible that the expected value for most companies over, say 10 years, is overall higher. I obviously have no data, call it a hunch
We just don't hear enough about companies growing steadily and profitably over the years, but over report on the unicorns and smash hits.

It's simplistic, but I think there's two ways you can approach building a product company.
Either you focus on creating a great product that customers love. As a consequence, you'll hopefully make some money.
Or you focus on making a truckload of money as quick as possible, and building a product is merely a means to an end.
As OP said, there's far too few companies choosing the first approach, and far too many choosing the second one.

Under the hood, it uses good ol' fork and keeps track of the generated process IDs.
It's surprisingly simple. You can check out the relevant source here: https://github.com/rails/solid_queue/blob/main/lib%2Fsolid_q...

Author here. What a pleasant surprise to see this on HN!
Happy to answer any questions.

I launched something similar a year ago, funnily with an almost identical name.
Different tech stack and slightly different features though. Super cool to see more other tools in the space!

> It also doesn’t understand how to get packages from a git source.
Not sure what you mean.

Have been using asdf (with Ruby and JS) for years, haven't had a reason to look for something else yet.

See edge guides (https://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/7_2_release_notes.html) for some highlights.
I'm looking forward to using some of the developer experience stuff, such as default RuboCop or default GH actions for new apps. Not sure if it's everyone's cup of tea though.

> I didn’t want to deal with databases.
So instead I used a third party authentication service, store some data in JSON files, and also threw up a lamda gateway to store some more data in Google Sheets?
It's not relevant to the bug hunt, but I'm genuinely intrigued. Is this approach considered easier to work with than using a regular ol' DB?

I think the evolution of this person's personal server as outlined in the readme is very insightful.
Goes from literally no configuration management (just SSH into the box to install your stuff) to Ansible and then to Docker and k8s. Quite the Journey.
I think a lot of people here can relate, I certainly can.

Looks nice!
I'm on an older phone though and your landing Page murders it. Animations stutter and scrolling is pretty janky. Not sure I'd that's an issue with the components or something else?

Whenever this comes up I'm glad having read "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism".
Not an easy read by any means, but it's core hypothesis is spot on IMO: Google (and others) core business is aggregating and processing as much user data as possible. Every product they create and every decision they make aims to increase or protect their access to data.

Guess what. Based on the success of your blog, not only are you a leader - you're a _thought_ leader now!
Good luck.
