wunki | 4 years ago | on: The Codeless CTO (2019)
The "Developing Leadership" podcast [1] by Jason Werner (ex Github CTO) and Eiso Kant (founder Athenian) just did a three-part podcast series where this was also discussed. Can recommend.

I'm using Waltr[0] for this, works great.

A lot of businesses are still forcing its employees to use IE.
wunki | 10 years ago | on: Ask HN: Who is interested in a book about high performance Erlang?
Would buy it! Just picking up Erlang and loving it so far. Would love to learn more on performance as well.

iPhone app is coming soon! We developed it as an universal app, only need to redesign some of the screens.
wunki | 11 years ago | on: Cargo, Rust's Package Manager
This was how I installed it (Mac):
1) Install latest version of Rust found here: http://www.rust-lang.org
2) git clone --recursive [email protected]:rust-lang/cargo.git
3) make
4) make install (could be that sudo is needed for you)wunki | 11 years ago | on: Cargo, Rust's Package Manager

wunki | 11 years ago | on: Reasons to use protocol buffers instead of JSON
Or, another alternative is Cap'n Proto [1] from the primary author of Protocol Buffers v2. It smooths some of the bumps of protocol buffers.
wunki | 12 years ago | on: Django Vanilla Views 1.0 released.
> In my opinion, Django's CBV's are polarizing [..] I feel like inheritance is a poor way of modeling views and reusing code.
I share your opinion on CBV. Personally I like the old function-based views because everything happens in that little block of code and I know exactly the order in which something happens. CBV quickly get me lost in the chain of method calls across classes.
wunki | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: Best laptop/computer, OS, IDE/text editor for development?
I love my Thinkpad X1 Carbon with Arch Linux. I think I have a pretty optimized work environment thanks to the following software: Emacs (Editor, Email, IRC, Org-mode), XMonad (Window manager) and Conkeror (Browser).
You can find all my dotfiles online: https://github.com/wunki/wunki-dotfiles
wunki | 12 years ago | on: Why functional programming? Why Haskell?
The power of Haskell is that it acknowledges the fact that it's a messy world and deals with it with the help of Monads.
You could turn it around and say that non-haskell programs live in an ivory tower and ignore the messy world below :)
wunki | 12 years ago | on: Building an iOS weather app with Angular and ClojureScript
Great work. Could you elaborate why you didn't pick the route of using one of the mentioned libraries, Clang or Acute?
wunki | 12 years ago | on: Salt: Like Puppet, Except It Doesn’t Suck
I just released a open-source package which enables you to create a Django centric stack on Vagrant with the help of Salt. It was indeed very easy to write. You can check it out here:
wunki | 13 years ago | on: Poll: Do you have a 3d printer?
Friends of mine are solving this exact problem by supplying a platform where 3D printer owners can earn some money by letting others use their printer. Check them out at 3D Hubs [1].
wunki | 14 years ago | on: Facebook now informs the sender if you've read their message
No! It's of no interest to the sender when somebody has read their message. When building our invitation application we also had a feature that showed when somebody opened your invitation. But we quickly noticed that it was annoying because when you knew the sender would be notified, you wouldn't open the invitation to read it if you weren't sure you had the time to respond. It's the same with WhatsApp, the "social" pressure to respond because the other person knows you have read the message.
wunki | 14 years ago | on: IOS app success is a lottery: 60% (or more) of developers don't break even
Yes, cold emails, keeping it short and personal. Also a lot of contact was made through Twitter.
wunki | 14 years ago | on: IOS app success is a lottery: 60% (or more) of developers don't break even
Dutch we contacted in Dutch, others in English. Not tried to contact anyone in Asia yet, but I can recommend Brazil. Think that's also a good market.
wunki | 14 years ago | on: IOS app success is a lottery: 60% (or more) of developers don't break even
Yes, mostly outside of the US. We got picked up by majority of the Dutch blogs (we are a dutch company) and some German blogs. We also found that when you are on a blog, other blogs tend to read those and then they contact you.
We also tried connecting with old media, but there was almost no spin off from that.
