They could’ve just used ZEIT as the platform then. Vercel sounds like some generic VC created tech name. Their customer base is literally the exact opposite. Indie developers, people with Github accounts, technical engineers, engineering leaders. Not some Salesforce CRM enterprise selling to CEO’s marketing bs “Vercel” lol.

Great product. Them deciding to rebrand from Zeit to Vercel was one of the worst branding decisions ever made.

There’s probably time restrictions on when you can sell the stock. Also if you cashed out $2.65 billion of Uber stock the price would go way down.

huangbong | 6 years ago | on: Where you are born is more predictive of your future than any other factor

To even remotely compare someone starting a company with $0 from the ground up vs. someone spending tens of billions of existing dollars as a non-profit and classify them as the same level of entrepreneur is an insult to anyone who has ever started a company.

So what is Gravity? kops/kubespray without an MIT license?

Once you reach a certain level of traffic (a lot of TBs/month) going through their reverse proxy they will have someone from sales reach out to you and make you to start paying.

Crazy that you need to make national news to pay a medical bill fairly in this country.

Cloudflare has a file size limit (512MB) and only caches certain file extensions so for things like binary files, installers, and video it will not cache. For the HTML/CSS/JS asset use case it’s perfectly fine though.

Do you have to deal with cold starts on AppSync?

Doubling down on the Meme Bar. Yikes. Did they at least add some kind of haptic response for the new generation touch bar?

Everyone and their mother uses TFTI. This is satire right?

I have the exact same keyboard with cherry mx browns. End game keyboard imo.

Google naming products at this point is just memes. But it proves that if you have an amazing enough product (G suite) the name doesn’t matter at all. Whoever came up with G suite is just a bad person though ugh.

huangbong | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: Which stack do you use at your startup?

Node.js/GraphQL/Next.js/PostgreSQL/AWS Lambada (via up). Entirely serverless stack with the application state residing in the DB and a JWT to identify the user. No OS, containers, kubernetes, instances, etc to deal with other than a single RDS instance.
