My cofounder @kiet_onlook and I have now done two Hacker News launches, both of which had solid outcomes—the first even landed us on the front page and earned over 1,000 stars on our open source GitHub project. Since we launched, a number of other founders have asked how to have a successful Hacker News post, so we decided to put this guide together. Hopefully this will help you maximize your chances of success, and will cover everything from the lead-up, to the post itself, and what to do afterward. A lot of our advice leans towards launching an open source…

Every unnecessary cent spent brings your organization one step closer to the end of it's runway, a grueling fundraising round, or even the end of your startup. As a founder, you want to focus on innovation and finding that perfect product-market fit, not worrying about infrastructure or unexpected costs. According to RightScale, small and medium-sized companies overspend by an average of 35% on cloud resources. This equates to $6.4 billion in annualized wasted cost for AWS alone.

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, learning, productivity, software, startup

You're probably doing some optimizations that you shouldn't in both your business and your daily life. The good news is, you can improve that. Let’s go through some typical business optimizations I've seen other people do or done myself that were, in fact, terrible and how to turn them around. Bad Optimizations in Software Businesses? I’ll start with a big question. Do bad optimizations even exist? Yes, they do, in both business and personal life. For example: Say, you decided to be adventurous during lunch and now have a bad case of food poisoning. To deal with this situation you…

The current state of GitHub

It's not a secret that I dislike all the things that Microsoft owns, and yet, I'm haunted by them every single day. No day passed by without I'm forced to use Microsoft Teams, Azure with their terrible excuse of scrum boards, or GitHub, with their lack of features only being compensated for the free things they offer. The only exception is VSCode, but they are really trying their best to make it as bloated as possible, so I have high hopes for Zed. The last straw Today, I noticed something very special: GitHub is working on lists to organize your…

Keeping User-Uploaded Files Malware-Free: What’s Your Approach – Idea Validation

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, cybersecurity, development, devops, engineering, inclusive, opensource, software, startup

It can be tricky to keep user-uploaded files like profile photos and documents in an app malware-free. I’m looking into creating a SAAS platform to automate malware scanning using ClamAV architecture reference. The idea is to scan files for malware (like trojans and viruses) both when they’re first uploaded and for existing files that might need a check. I’m curious—how do you handle this right now? Do you use any specific tools or methods for scanning? And would an automated solution like this, covering both new uploads and existing files, be something that interests you? Source link lol

Your UI Doesn’t Matter

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, opinion, programming, software, startup

My Opinion on Why UI Doesn't Matter Much When Building a Startup In today's world, when it comes to building a startup, there are several aspects that concern us as entrepreneurs. One of those is the UI of the product or service we are selling. Initially, we want to create beautiful websites. There are many famous sites on the internet with pre-made templates that really shine, especially those for SaaS. However, I believe that when you are creating a product or service as a startup, focusing energy on creating a beautiful UI is not only a waste of time but…
