This is great! It's very close to something I desperately want to exist: a way to peruse the YouTube videos' my friends are watching.

My algo often gets bad, and the best recommendations for YouTube videos come from friends' suggestions. And sometimes I just want to be recommended something totally different than what my algo would know about.

Would it be possible to add that feature?

Awesome, thanks for explaining this. Reviewing cal.com today for my company - it seems like a great product.

No, I hadn't heard of COSS! Thanks for that - reading up on it now. Seems like exactly the framework I'm thinking about.

I love the Cal.com story. What gives me some pause is that they're VC-backed. $25M Series A. The free tier might be great, and I might come to rely upon it. But they're expected to produce an outsized ROI, and the traditional SaaS play is to give it away for free to capture the market and then raise prices. I'd much prefer a community-driven effort where we have no ROI expectations, so it can remain low-cost forever as we're just splitting overhead.

What is the bar for a "legally binding digital signature"? Is this a very complicated topic - or is it quite simple?

I can sign a PDF with OSX Preview for free. I can pay a bunch of money to sign with Docusign. Both produce a PDF with a digital image of my signature. I assume both documents constitute a legally binding agreement, so long as I actually preformed the digital signature. What justification do the e-signature SaaS companies have for their exorbitant prices? I understand the "audit trail" angle - that's just collecting my IP every time I interact with the document.

Is this a big SaaS scam?

I think about it more from the perspective of "building stuff that is useful and interesting". I can very quickly build a lot of cool, useful stuff with JS + Node + React + Postgres.

Yeah there is a lot of overbuilding and BS in our industry, but I don't think we're unique in that regard. It is safe to block out the noise and focus on what excites you.

Somewhere at Twitter HQ, there are two boxes full of notecards:

1. Things that need to be "fixed" in the code, immediately, before Elon gets here. 2. Things we'll need to publicly admit before Elon gets here.

Thanks for this! I learned a few new ones.

The main feature I want from a window manager is the ability to save my OSX workspace (applications open and tiled per Desktop, per monitor) and reset it to that state instantly. I haven't found anything that does this yet. Does Karabiner, yabai, or any of the tools mentioned here do this?

I'll spend significant time setting up my window environment just how I want it (grouping chats on Desktop 1, localhost browsers on Desktop 2, terminals on Desktop 3, etc.) Then after unplugging my Macbook, my workspace gets all messed up and I have to re-organize everything! I'm surprised this isn't a more commonly discussed issue.

Yep. Statuspage.io goes down when Auth0 goes down, which goes down when AWS goes down.

The typing is bad, docs are bad, errors are opaque and unhelpful, promises are 2nd class citizens, methods are inconsistently named, etc.

It just seems to me like uploading a document to cloud storage from a Node app should be very easy.

I agree that switching to asynchronous communication as default is critical for remote/hybrid offices.

However, I've found it very difficult to champion this change at my workplace. Many (most?) people don't like communicating over chat. There seems to be an overwhelming preference to schedule video meetings, which don't get recorded or notated. I wonder if we'll get better at this over time, or not - in which case, will this become cause for a "return to work" mandate.
