I get the impression the "random dude" is the expert you are already paying $100k/yr for. It sends them a slack message, email, etc. The sales pitch is you don't have to code that microservice so you can ship your AI a bit faster. Which is fair enough, since most SaaS is 99% other PaaS/SaaS + some core unique business factor thrown on top. However I worry about how much this company is charging. It is pricey.


10c per slack API call. I could make a mobile phone call for less than that in 1995. It is expensive...

IFTTT, Zapier, NodeRed, etc. are your competitors.

E.g.

https://ifttt.com/applets/J75VtBA9-get-an-email-when-a-webho... -> https://ifttt.com/applets/KWqQedih-make-a-web-request-when-i.... They have lots of AI things too.

The problem is you are saying "API" call so you are already dealing with devs. They can save $10k by writing their own Slack integration (even easier if they pay IFTTT $150/y), and the enterprises will want you to be all FedRAMP, ISO, SOC, Data Resident etc.


I think these are fair comparisons to make. I think the value is less in the slack api integration - anyone can plug in a slack client in afternoon.

When you get to timeouts, escalations, and routing 100+ conversations between 4+ users across multiple slack instances, that's when things got hectic for us.


Wordpress has comments built in


The last 10% being replacing all the words with ones that are useful to the reader.


Make that 6 iterations of such a site, one using wordpress, one using HTML and VIM and no tools, one using an SSG, one using k8s on 4 solar-powered rpis, one using a home-made CMS, and one written in Rust from scratch. Each one with a blog post "Why I...".


A simple one too - it would be on a 216 colour pallete using six values for each of R, G and B.

R = 1/5

G = 2/5

B = 3/5

Edit: of course that makes sense it is probably a "web safe" one


It's R = 2/5, G = 1/5.


Oh yeah --facepalm-- it's purple after all!


If it's such a simple combination, I wonder why it wasn't officially named until 2014. CSS has had names for all sorts of weird colors since forever.


Most CSS color names were inherited from the X11 color list [1], which, in turn, sourced its colors from a weird mixture of Crayola crayons, paint samples, and idiosyncratic personal choices [2]. It's a mess.

Maybe it wasn’t named so that long after people like me pass from memory for good, people will still speak of Rebecca and of the love we showed her.



Not who you are replying to, but I started learning HTML/CSS right when HTML5 and CSS3 had just come out, so I do have somewhat of a soft spot for these


Yes, I've always thought they were excellent logos. Makes me nostalgic about the optimism of this time.

Also people actually use them, a while back every CS student inexplicably had these stickers on their laptop. I can't see these new logos being ever used as stickers because they're just... nothing.


As someone coming back to frontend after ten years... the optimism was justified! Writing UI code is amazing now.

Don't let the warts of the real implementation get you down, it's a delight how everything I want to do is just part of the vanilla stack now, one way or another.


Have you used MUI? Massive game-changer for me (as someone who knows CSS well).


Absolutely prefer these


They are nicer logos esthetically speaking, but of course it's ridiculous that the emphasis is on the version rather than the actual technology.


I'm not even convinced that html and css need logos. Those shield logos always made me think they were trying to sell you something, which is weird for a markup language.


Yes.


They're so much nicer.


They remind me way too much of dark-arts virus checker, disk cleaner BS.


Yes.


Is this the only choice we have?

100% yeah


They are certainly more colorblind and vision impairment friendly to be honest.


What is color blind unfriendly about the new logos precisely? Which variant of color blindness will not be able to read them?

Which visual impairment exactly will find it easier to parse the previous logos (which are a mess of design scarcely related to the actual technology name) than the current ones, which contain thick bold text indicating exactly what the technology is called?


Here's a good starting point: https://www.sfgov.org/designing-visually-impaired

> Do not rely on color alone to denote information

> Use additional cues or information to convey content

The old icons were certainly ugly. But they had a unique shape (cue) and didn't rely on color. The new logo has text which helps, but this is where visual impairment becomes an issue (lack of focus to read said text).

I have no intent to take away from the meaningful choices made in this logo's design. But even just picking a unique shape for each component would go a long way.


The old CSS and HTML logos had identical shape aside from the text. The new CSS and HTML logos have different shape (albeit subtle), larger text, and a greater difference in lightness.

In this shovel rush, even the shovel factory makers (OpenAI) are not sustainable, and the shovel factory factory makers (NVidia) are doing well. Ironically the "gold" is with all the boring companies on the consumer side of the AI.


You avoid a seed phrase, but how? I thought it was "not your keys not your coin".

My understanding is someone who wants secure crypto needs to cryptographically safely generate a seed phrase. For signigicant amounts of money you will want that backed up. I guess if this is like a $50 gift card people are treating it like that and might accept if it gets lost then shrug.


Burner comes with a pre-generated key or you can request that it generate a new key with entropy you supply (in part, it's hashed with entropy from multiple sources). In both cases you always need to trust the hardware, but this is true with any hardware wallet.

I would always recommend using a multisig for storing large amounts of funds regardless of the wallet vendor.


This is a bit like a gift card. Not the worst idea! I have been waiting 10 years to buy a coffee with crypto BTW.


Yes sort of enough to be useful to use, and I do use it, but not complete enough to be perfect. A bit like Google tasks!

It does the main things though - it can check other calendars, people can book into your calendar, it deals with time zones and schedules.

It fits into the valley of "use if you are already using Google stuff alot, but not worth it as a solo feature if you don't".

Cal.com is way better. But then that is no suprise, it's their only job.
