Ask HN: Have tech salaries been stagnant for the past decade?
I keep reading "DevOps Engineers make $250k+ in San Francisco". Which parallel universe is this San Francisco in and how do I get there?
15 years ago, any job ads I looked at or any recruiters who spammed me with Sr Infrastructure/Systems engineering positions came with a $120k-$160k range.
Today fo...

Aerodynamics of Gravel Bikes (renehersecycles.com)
I am an out of shape former racer who has ridden his bike 10 times in the last two years. I have a dad belly and rarely work out at all. I recently did The Rift this summer - a 200km gravel race here in Iceland that people come from all over the world to race. I did it on a carbon cyclocross bike fr...

I Am Seriously Considering Going Back to Desktop Computers (2020) (terraaeon.com)
Oppressive vendor practices aside, I just don't get the laptop fixation some people have, in general.
I find it extremely hard to be productive on a laptop; the form factor is entirely wrong for concentration. Small screen, mushy crappy keyboard with a bad layout, etc. My desktop has a large monitor...

Building a fullstack app with Flask and Htmx (codecapsules.io)
We use HTMX at Savio (https://www.savio.io), which started as a pure Django app.
Our operating theory was that using a JS FE framework was overkill for a CRUD app. So we went with stock Django and server-rendered HTML.
It became clear that parts of our UX would benefit greatly from client-side inter...

Tailscale Authentication for Nginx (tailscale.com)
It's a generic setup where you can do _anything_ you want via firing off an HTTP request as a clone of the original, and re-handling the request after getting back the response.

Shaving is an example of how consumer products extract more money (johnwhiles.com)
I appreciate the writing style, but this article is shockingly naive to me.
Convenient consumer products tend to sell better than less convenient ones, even if the product is worse. That's the entire story. People have finite time, so when they receive more income they will tend to spend it to reduc...

Channel/offer fit instead of product/market fit (jakobgreenfeld.com)
It's possible that the founders of businesses that expect to advertise on Google/socials could put this to work, but it's not a general case best practice since most businesses are not launched through targeted keyword auctions.

Firezone CEO here. Someone just clued me into this thread. Unfortunately I’m in and out of Internet service today but I’ll do my best to answer questions.
As noted by others, Firezone isn’t really aiming to be a mesh networking tool like Tailscale, but more of a classic east-west VPN similar to Open...

Hey folks! I'm trying to actively get better at pitching developer tools. So I had the idea of collecting an inspiration list of the "best of all time". Would like to crowdsource this!

Wrap Up: Bicycle trip logistics (peterispedaling.com)
The title on HN seems to deviate from the one on the page. I say that because that's only 24 miles a day, and I've known plenty of people who bike commute and do _at least_ that. The article itself, IMHO, is also more interesting than the amount of miles biked.
Agreed. When I first glanced at the ti...
