FYI the author sells server hardware.

Seems somewhat disingenuous not to mention that up front.

This hits the mark.

Anyone can be moderately good at most things if they work and try hard.

But to be truly exceptional it often requires built in talent.

This is so true.

Ditch the toxic people in your life.

I thought VCs were interested in companies with superstar teams with a killer idea, an established and lucrative monetization mechanism, an established defendable innovative product, in a global market with hockey stock growth and for some reason still willing to sign ridiculously unfavorable investment terms with no downside or risk for the VC at a very low price, but at a very high price to the next round of investors to drive up ponzi scheme valuations. Oh and a CEO/founder who at first they love but later can be shoved out by the board. Or have I been watching too much Silicon Valley?

You’re in good company with Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Larry Ellison.

Static site and docker shouldn’t be seen together.

Or put more positively:

“I shipped a hard disk formatting utility that doubled as a word processor.”

I wonder if Venus had a large moon if it might not be earth like.

A moon would be constantly stirring the magma which might have given it tectonics.

I love it that the web makes live edits possible.

If your making adjustments then I applaud you.

I wonder what is the shortest path to deploying a web application that is fully codable (as opposed to no-code), that includes user database/management/auth.

I suspect the closest is the old school libraries like Ruby on Rails and the equivalent in other languages.

Original comment:

It’s not clear until the end of the long post that this guy is selling and all in one development package.

No problem with that but it feels disingenuous to make building a SAAS super hard THEN say “he he I have the solution for you!”.

He’d have been better to say up front his product solves the development complexity problem which looks like this....

Then at the end you’d say “gee this guy is right”, instead of “oh I’ve been played”.
