jazzex | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: What do you use for API Key Management?

Typically an API gateway is behind a lot of these. Lookup KrakenD, Gloo Mesh as examples.

I like excalidraw. https://excalidraw.com/

Exports to json or image.

jazzex | 5 years ago | on: Foam: A personal knowledge management and sharing system for VSCode

I use this tool everyday and with some customization it has been very helpful for me. It helps that I also use VS Code for my job so its nothing to have an extra window open. I don't have to worry about folder and file structure and just write. The VS Code search is robust and fast.

The customizations I use are just for auto creating daily notes and including timestamps and other metadata.

Foam is also easily incorporated into static sites, although I have not yet used that feature.

jazzex | 6 years ago | on: 6 months in and $1k MRR: my biggest mistakes so far

I subscribe to this application, and I love it. I was not one of the first 100 to experience any of these difficulties, and the one bug I did experience was fixed by Jen two days after I pointed it out. In the mean time, Mint still has not deleted my account two months after I requested it...

They still have to scan your items.

jazzex | 13 years ago | on: CommaFeed - Open-source bloat-free Google Reader clone

Since there aren't any screenshots I don't think I will use this till you fix the landing page. Does anyone have any alternatives that are 'bloat-free' Readers?

jazzex | 13 years ago | on: Sync to Paper

Can you explain this? I will sit for hours with just a pen and paper and not be able to come up with anything worthwhile ideas or thoughts. What do you do?

jazzex | 13 years ago | on: Linux Jobs Forecast: Pressing Need for Linux Talent

So I already know system admins are in high demand. I am a computer science undergrad and hope to get a sys admin job out of college. What should I be doing on my own to get a job like this? (besides playing with different linux distros and learning commands).

Thank you for this! What a great comment. Also, Scheme was actually the first language I learned in college. Very good for programming concepts.
