Well Musk has been promising that it will be fully ready next year for the last decade. Which sounds like a horrendous expectation to work under as an engineer.
Sounds like the name of a startup thats going to put fence contractors out of business in a few years before getting sued for not classifying their workers as employees.
which once again has nothing to do with the government and everything to do with Venmo incorporated (Paypal Inc.) choosing to operate that way out of fear of the government
Current finance laws are such that if PayPal stopped having this kind of fear of the government it would likely go under. It's just a loophole to get around the 4th amendment.
I have to say though your landing page looks remarkably similar to Posthog. So much so that I am having to double check to make sure you are not the same company.
Along these lines, for those looking for modern (rrweb) session recording software first and foremost, it looks like Posthog is more cost efficient (though I’d love to be proven wrong on my math!). Do you have a rationale for why Highlight should be a preferred solution, feature-wise or otherwise?
There are definitely a bunch of overlap though between the two, most notably in session replay. Honestly if one of you could combine application analytics with monitoring, it would be a fantastic one stop resource. There is no reason in my mind why these two areas should be separate. Both are basically logging events of different types.
Implementation-wise, I agree. You run into similar engineering challenges in both cases. From a buyer/persona perspective it is very different as you go up-market.
What a bizarre attitude to have. You could also save tons of seconds by not using indents in Python or brackets in JS. But then you would also not have working code.
The backend is a terrible mess. But most of the time WP sites are served as cached static assets to the end user so you can still get the load times pretty good (despite the dumpster of a backend/DB).
When they are content sites, yes. When there is ecommerce and other dynamic stuff - not so much. I'm often optimizing WP sites after the arsenal of the typical developer - caching, redis object caching, etc - has been wiped off. The db structure and poorly optimized queries are a real pain.
Wordpress is still great for downloading a theme from Themeforest to get brochure style sites (restaurant, simple small business, etc) up and running pretty fast. It is not great (possibly horrendous) for revisiting a few years later when all the plugins/theme/core needs to be updated and a bunch of different people have added custom JS/CSS all over in random places.
It's hard to reconcile "pro web designer" with no-code though. Having said that, my preferred stack for something that involves more than a simple site is Sveltekit, Tailwindcss, & Sanity. But everyone has their own preferences.
In my experience, I bought some pro/high sellers/high rated themes on Theme Forest for 3 sites, but all of them come with a bunch of pre-installed plugins, and was a mess.
Specially two who have a mandatory plugin to edit pages, called WPBakery, damn I hated it, is awful, the native WP editor is miles away (Gutenberg), but the design will brake if you use Gutenberg. Also, this and other plugins do not auto-update automatically, for each update you have to login to a site of the theme seller, download a zip, and update the plugin manually. And also on the admin you always gets upsells of the pre-installed plugins all the time, you can't disable it, sometimes you get a rack of 3 top banners simultaneously.
The end user sites looked really nice tho, but the editing experience was horrible.
Yeah some themes are way better than others, that's for sure. This is one of the cleanest and most flexible that I've used on dozens of sites, getting them up and running with a branded look in 2-3 hours:
The templates on this theme looks really nice and modern, will check it out, but it uses the native WordPress editor or a third party plugin? Also, the pre-installed plugins will update automatically?
If you have the ability to program you can find time around your day job to make a little progress each day until you have something ready to market. Because it just sounds like you're lazy and are throwing up random excuses.
Do you also have no time in the evenings or weekends? Spend the hours that you normally watch TV or browse social media/Hacker News working on your project.
But the fact that you're posting on here while complaining that you don't have time tells me you just don't want to do it enough for it to ever be worthwhile.
No time means no time in which I can do productive work.
I still have time to, say, occasionally exercise or have a walk or deal with life chores or get out with friends once in a while, but if I stop doing those things that would hurt my health/life and therefore my ability to work even further, as I know from experience.
As to HN, I read it mostly when I can’t sleep or in public transport.
