@hernansartorio For me what I was looking for was "type-to-create-a -website" but with higher fidelity than Notion - that's why I love it. No idea if that will resonate with others, but maybe some demo videos on the homepage of people typing out their own sites? I still recommend it to people…

Something I find super odd - a lot of components you see design engineers obsessing over - you almost never see in real products. The multi-level dropdown is a great example - the only place these menus persist in most UIs today are at the OS level or for some native apps and that's about it. But they're one of the first things in every component library.

Hot take: It should not be legal to run a consumer facing middle man business and not hold responsibility for the end product.
Side point: The on demand apps have the leech-iest business models. Capture the customer, provide nothing more than a UI, squeeze the service provider https://t.co/ZwgsU4aogI

I'm finding our dev hiring now converging on 2 kinds of archetypes:
- Early Career - Strong written/verbal communication. Organized. Fast Learner. Knows the basics (html, css, js) - can learn their skill gaps.
- Senior - Gritty problem solver - great at figuring out really hard problems and getting their hands dirty.
Any senior who can't solve hard/unsexy problems and/or whose main focus is on "making the code super clean and elegant" just doesn't really fit anywhere.

Bottom line: Every 10 basis points Stripe could reduce fees would unlock $140-200B in additional global commerce. The current pricing extracts maximum rent but leaves trillions in economic value on the table. Transaction costs really do matter at scale. 6/6

This is a classic welfare economics problem: Stripe's private optimization (maximize revenue) diverges from social optimization (maximize total economic activity). Payment processors sit at a unique chokepoint in the global economy. 5/6

Economic modeling suggests optimal fees around 1.8-2.1% would: ✅ Give Stripe healthy 12-18% margins ✅ Increase global transaction volumes 40-80% ✅ Improve total economic welfare by $800B-1.2T annually 4/6

Current 2.9% fees break down roughly as: ~1.0% operational costs (infrastructure, fraud, compliance) + ~1.9% economic rent for investors. That 1.9% "excess" is where the efficiency loss happens, based on payment elasticity research. 3/6

The core trade-off: For every basis point (0.01%) Stripe charges above operational costs, the global economy loses ~$14-20B in transaction volume. Each marginal dollar to Stripe equity holders reduces global economic activity by $4,000-6,000. 2/6

There is an inverse relationship between the success of companies whose business model is transaction costs (e.g. @stripe), and the "GDP of the internet".
Stripe were the good guys in papering over a legacy system, but as new systems become possible, @stripe must choose between their actual stated goal - "Maximising the GDP of the internet", and Maximising Good 'Ol Shareholder Value - these incentives now are now fundamentally misaligned.

There's something so funny to me about getting out of your supercar to walk into Google HQ for a day full of scheduled meetings 😂

People still asking me "How do you not think LLMs are reasoning?"
CSS is one example - Jhey publishes a lot of really cool CSS examples - often based on new CSS features that are documented but where there's not a lot of examples. So - things that a human can figure out by reasoning. Even the top, most recent LLMs just, don't work for this.

This is a remarkably good piece of writing, and should become part of the canon for any startup that values taste

@bradleymeck @AdamRackis That's fair Bradley. Not supporting typescript is a tradeoff - although I don't think "think about all the ways a variable could be used" is an issue for a lot of teams. And the key disagreement I have is the assertion that you can build "software at scale" without a build step.

@AdamRackis If you think you need more context, perhaps refrain from the numerous insults you’re levelling. You are going to come out looking quite dumb at some point in the future.
