Jeeeesus I wasn't ready for that. my wife was diagnosed 11 years ago. we had been trying for kids for 4 years prior and finally had to give up. the drugs they put you on for cancer for 5 years, well, you cannot have kids. and she was already getting up there in age. she finally came off of them in 2020. then a year later, we found out she was pregnant. and because she was pregnant with a girl, my wife got a genetic test and found out she has the BRCA-1 mutation which explained her breast cancer diagnosis from 2014... and also put her on high alert for ovarian cancer. after the preventative surgery, it turns out she had precancerous cells in her fallopian tubes. this little girl of ours had saved her life. just by being born. she's now three. and my wife is healthy, and happier than ever. I'm a lucky, lucky guy.

good on you, Randall. Congratulations.

Battling the cloud that quells my passions.

I've been using Aegis for a number of years, and have found nothing I don't like about it. It's a perfectly functional app, and I'm looking forward to trying out the new update!

Funny you mention this. I've decided just today to begin a full week of no Twitter or YouTube. To keep myself on top of my addictions, rather than fully succumbed to them. Props to you for deleting your account and going all in.

And that's the thing... This page should always be about sharing and encouraging people who build things they're excited about, regardless of whether it meets some technical high bar.

Kudos to you, and I hope you keep that excitement going!

$100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau. Really good at stripping away many of the reasons I had been holding onto to not start something on my own.

The book is agnostic about how you raise capital. It gives you the pros and cons of bootstrapping or raising money, and leaves it to you to decide what's best.

Thanks for taking the time to answer! Much appreciated.

Is there a comprehensive comparison between Hoppscotch and Postman?

"Librarians hate him!"

If that's unusual for you, it actually helps prove his point...

My biggest beef is with the idea of trying to control something that doesn't need to be controlled for it to work, just because it'll increase profit margins. The web does not need to be regulated or controlled by ISPs for it to work. We've known this for decades. It's unfortunate that it's necessary to have a law in place in the form of net neutrality to keep ISPs from finding and using this as an avenue of revenue generation, but capitalism isn't perfect.
