Yeah, there's nothing wrong with being a sailor. It's more a fear of change — thinking you'll always enjoy painting, and then realizing there might be a day when the passion is gone.

I 100% agree that if TJ wants to retire from programming, he should. Pressuring him to do something he doesn't want to do is wrong.

My comment more of a personal comment. Imagine you're an amateur painter, and you enjoy painting. You live in the same era as Michelangelo, and you admire him. But, one day Michelangelo announces he no longer enjoys painting, and decides to become a sailor instead. And, you realize there might be a day you won't enjoy painting either.

The idea of moving on from programming makes me sad. I suppose for some people it's a job, but to me giving up programming would be like giving up on writing poetry or playing music.

Thanks for sharing. I'm glad he's still posting.

Back in university I looked up to Feross, TJ and Matt Deslauriers. Fond memories of hacking together a Node.js project at a hackathon and launching something on a free Heroku dyno.

Yeah we didn't anticipate somebody sharing their room in the comments — we're trying our best to moderate that room.

Fingers crossed the board they went on was the papercraft & origami board.

Sent an email :) We can help with an MVP

Hey hugs, just want to say Selenium is awesome. Super cool having the creator of the testing framework we used during university commenting on our post.

Would love to learn more about the mobile test automation space, I'll send off an email.

That approach relies on an iframe to load 3rd party sites. Sadly, this won't work for a lot of websites like news.ycombinator.com.

Furthermore, an iframe cannot be synchronized across participants. If you and I load YouTube in an iframe, it's not guaranteed that our videos are sync'd.

With Hyperbeam, you can embed any website and the content is sync'd. Think of it like sitting beside somebody with a computer.
