Why are front end developers so high in demand at startups if front end development is relatively easier than other fields of engineering?

My answer to Why are front end developers so high in demand at startups if front end development is relatively easier than other fields of engineering?

Front end development is absolutely not “easier” than other forms of engineering.

When you’re writing server-side code, you’re writing for one language on one operating system with (usually) one database implementation.

Front end developers have to write code that works in dozens of different environments.

(June 7): Nasa is delaying the earliest potential next flight of Boeing Co’s troubled Starliner spacecraft to 2026, pushing back a key milestone for a vehicle meant to serve as an alternative to the Dragon spacecraft owned by Elon Musk’s SpaceX.

The agency had previously said that Starliner’s next flight to the International Space Station (ISS) could occur as early as the end of this year.

Nasa said it is still evaluating whether the next flight would carry astronauts on board or only cargo.

The delay of Starliner, the only US alternative for getting crew to the ISS, highlight Nasa’s reliance on SpaceX and Musk.

Because of engine issues with Starliner, Nasa turned to SpaceX to bringing home…

The source of my distraction varied—I would constantly check my email, read random documentation, or even scroll through my social feeds.

Here’s the core idea that changed my perspective on productivity: Action leads to motivation, not the other way around.

This creates a powerful flywheel: you’re productive → you feel good → you’re more productive.

Unfortunately, many engineers are stuck in the opposite flywheel, a downward spiral of procrastination: you’re unproductive → you feel bad → you’re unproductive.

The idea that motivation follows naturally from progress lets us lower the activation energy needed to enter the upward spiral.

In some ways, air pollution is kind of a part of life.

There are roughly 200 regulated hazardous air pollutants in the United States, many with names I can barely pronounce.

But they’re obviously not all gone, because that secondary benefit of air quality turned into the primary benefit as environmental rules about air pollution became stricter.

There are really just two major transport processes for air pollution.

Gravity also affects air pollution, but it doesn’t have a significant effect except on heavier-than-air particulates.

In 2019 the acquired team released a new product named Square Online that directly incorporates Square’s features into an online shopping application.

Prior to April 2025, this article from Weebly support stated that Square will “maintain support through at least July 2025.” To many this set an expected end-of-life for Weebly.

It goes on to say “...we encourage new sites to be built with Square Online.” Cleary Square is not looking to grow the Weebly product.

Dear High Schoolers, Time Is Precious 2025-05-24Thousands of Pre-AP booklets staged for sorting in my old high school library.

My high school academic endeavors saved me credits, and therefore money, but they don't affect my day-to-day life.

High school develops those intangibles; allowing college worries to overshadow them oversimplifies the purpose of high school.

In contrast, other high school pursuits cultivate personal growth, an asset whose importance never fades.

So, if any overachieving high school students have happened upon this little essay, I ask you to use your last pre-college years well.

One of the most common refrains in the generative AI era is that “startups are growing faster than ever” — often with fewer resources.

Faster revenue, faster rounds.

Median consumer companies performed even better, reaching $4.2 million in ARR and raising an A round within eight months.

This is partially because consumer companies have a different “shape” now.

* * *TL;DR: Startups are working faster than ever, and both businesses and consumers are demonstrating high willingness to pay for new products.

A few days ago, my CTO Chris shared Cloudflare's open-sourced OAuth 2.1 library that was almost entirely written by Claude.

Committing Prompts + CodeKenton included the prompt used to generate code in every commit, which made this exploration possible.

Prompts as Source CodeReading through these commits sparked an idea: what if we treated prompts as the actual source code?

Imagine version control systems where you commit the prompts used to generate features rather than the resulting implementation.

In practice, generated code still needs deployment, testing, and maintenance.

While we as engineers might hope for aviation data to be clean and well-standardized, the real world is messy.

There are a lot of assumptions one could make when designing data types and schemas for aviation data that turn out to be inaccurate.

In the spirit of Patrick McKenzie’s classic piece on names, here are some false assumptions one might make about aviation.

While many of these are simply common misconceptions, some of these assumptions have bitten our customers at various points, and others have caused issues in our own systems over the years.

Photos courtesy of JAMSTECScenery 100 meters away is seen through a sheet of transparent paper which is 0.7 millimeters thick.

The transparent paper sheets can be broken down by microbes into water and carbon dioxide.

To make the paper sheets, the team used cellulose powder made from fibers found on the surfaces of cotton seeds.

The paper sheets become transparent because they are packed tightly with nanometer-scale (one 1-billionth of a meter) fibers.

Transparent paper could overcome this problem, but bringing the material to market will require factories with the technology to mass-produce it.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Friday allowed members of the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency to access Social Security Administration data.

U.S. District Judge Ellen Hollander had ruled that DOGE had no need to access the specific data at issue.

Circuit Court of Appeals, based in Richmond, Virginia, declined to block Hollander's decision, leading to the Trump administration to file its emergency request at the Supreme Court.

In a separate order issued at the same time in another case involving DOGE, the Supreme Court granted another request filed by the Trump administration.

A few decades back my teenage son and I approached Las Vegas at night while traveling south on Interstate 15.

Think of all the money people have made there!” This was a perfect tease for my response: “Dude, everything you see there was paid for by losers.”The same is true for online sports betting, only more so.

When a bettor consistently wins, they are essentially taking money from the sportsbook’s bottom line.

The aim is to encourage more casual, recreational bettors, who are less likely to have an edge and more likely to contribute to the sportsbook’s revenue.

I could go on, but instead suggest you dig those two episodes of Against the Rules.

It is true that at the frontier of intelligence, the most powerful closed source LLMs dominate their open source counterparts.

How Do Open Source LLMs Stack Up Against Closed Source LLMs?

A common question organizations ask us is how the cost and performance of open source models stack up against closed source models.

At the frontier, closed source models like Claude Opus 4.0, OpenAI’s o3 model, and Gemini 2.5 Pro dominate.

However, open source models like Qwen 3 235B-A22B and DeepSeek R1 (and the to-be-released R2) are closing the gap quickly.

The next phase of jank's C++ interopTwo months into seamless C++ interop in jank, what sort of magic can we do now?

This involves JIT compiling C++, using Clang as a library, fitting Clang's type system into jank's, and weaving together LLVM IR generated from C++ into jank's IR.

There's a C++ test runner which recursively finds each .jank file and then runs it.

Recovering control flow structures without CFGsJun 6, 2025I’m working on a Java decompiler because I’m not satisfied with the performance of other solutions.

Setting the sceneMost decompilers seem to follow one of these two control flow extraction strategies:They try to match bytecode to atomic structures like if or while directly, oror directly, or They build a control flow graph and then locate atomic structures inside it.

Of course, reading sequential bytecode, building a control flow graph, and then linearizing it back would be bollocks.

By designing later passes carefully, you can gracefully recover all control flow structures from the original code, regardless of their complexity or c…

A welcoming wavy 1D gradient noise signalHashing function and pseudo-random valuesAt the most elementary level, we need a deterministic coordinate based pseudo-random system.

So instead of using the random as noise values directly, we interpret them as gradient: this is the gradient noise.

For each lattice, we decide to give them y=0 at regular interval, and have their random gradient impacts the surrounding curve.

Note One important property of the gradient noise is that it passes through 0 at every lattice, meaning at a constant …

In an earlier post, I reviewed the excellent OSDI ’22 paper on metastable failures, which dissected real-world incidents and laid the theoretical groundwork.

It introduces tooling and a simulation framework to help engineers identify potential metastable failure modes before disaster strikes.

IntroductionLike most great tragedies, metastable failure doesn't begin with villainy; it begins with good intentions.

Feed it model predictions, aim it precisely, and maybe catch the metastable failure before it catches you.

Most AI systems today are stuck in a “cage” designed by humans.

But what if AI could learn and improve its own capabilities without human intervention?

The Darwin-Gödel Machine (DGM) is a self-improving AI system that optimizes its own problem-solving strategy through a combination of Darwinian evolution and Gödelian self-improvement.

If this trend continues, we may witness a Cambrian explosion in AI development, where eventually AI systems will surpass human-designed architectures and give rise to entirely new species of digital intelligence.

Emergent Intelligence: Need to develop new approaches to understand and interpret AI systems that evolve beyond human-designed complexity, including …

In the entertainment industry, he says, people are using “AI algorithms to determine what projects get the go-ahead, and that means we’re stuck remaking the past.

Then there are “tech addiction, the ecological impact, the damage to the education system – 92% of students are now using AI”.

“I find that ethically revolting.”Others cite similar reasons for not using AI.

Audible, the Amazon-owned audiobook provider, has just announced it will allow publishers to create audiobooks using its AI technology.

Anyone who uses generative AI, who thinks they’re an artist, is stopping their creativity.”Some studios, such as the animation company Studio Ghibli, have sworn off using AI, but others appear …

The 46-centimeter-wide flier was far more robust than the hobbyist-grade UAVs that came to define the early days of the drone war against Russia.

Justyna Mielnikiewicz“The situation with electronic warfare is moving extremely fast,” says Martin Karmin, KrattWorks’ cofounder and chief operations officer.

“Right now, there is no protection against fiber-optic drones,” Vadym Burukin, cofounder of the Ukrainian drone startup Huless, tells IEEE Spectrum.

Since then, the company has made rapid strides, working closely with Ukrainian drone makers and troops.

Before the war, Ukraine was a go-to place for Western companies looking to set up IT- and software-development centers.

OpenAI is now fighting a court order to preserve all ChatGPT user logs—including deleted chats and sensitive chats logged through its API business offering—after news organizations suing over copyright claims accused the AI company of destroying evidence.

And now, without "any just cause," OpenAI argued, the order "continues to prevent OpenAI from respecting its users’ privacy decisions."

The court order came after news organizations expressed concern that people using ChatGPT to skirt paywalls "might be more likely to 'delete all [their] searches' to cover their tracks," OpenAI explained.

OpenAI argued the May 13 order was premature and should be vacated, until, "at a minimum," news organi…

They are all getting annoyed at “bad genAI criticism” while failing to engage with — and often failing to even mention — most of the actual substance of any serious genAI criticism.

The AestheticsAs I begin to state my own position, let me lead with this: my factual analysis of genAI is hopelessly negatively biased.

The aesthetic quality of genAI writing, visual design, animation and so on, while mostly atrocious, is also highly variable.

For a limited time, you can purchase Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge for $1,100, a $170 discount, and receive a free $50 Amazon gift card.

But here's a short summary: Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge is the company's latest entry in its mainline Galaxy S25 series.

Also: Galaxy S25 EdgeContrary to its lightweight design, the S25 Edge punches well above its weight class.

The Galaxy S25 Edge has a few issues that I should mention.

How I rated this dealDespite its issues, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge still comes highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade from their midrange device.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: In 2019, we told you about a new interactive digital "murder map" of London compiled by University of Cambridge criminologist Manuel Eisner. Drawing on data catalogued in the city coroners' rolls, the map showed the approximate location of 142 homicide cases in late medieval London. The Medieval Murder Maps project has since expanded to include maps of York and Oxford homicides, as well as podcast episodes focusing on individual cases. It's easy to lose oneself down the rabbit hole of medieval murder for hours, filtering the killings by year, choice of weapon, and location. Think of it as a kind of 14th-century version of Clue: It was t…

Apple will lose the ability to collect commissions on external iOS purchases in Europe starting June 23, following a European Commission ruling that hinges on the grammatical interpretation of a single comma in the Digital Markets Act.

Они ответили, ниже короткая версия для заказчиков. «Амоблог» — образовательный YouTube-проект для предпринимателей. Агентство «Джони и Клайд» занимается видеопроизводством в этом блоге и некоторых других.

Поставленная цель. Клиент AmoCRM поставил цель достичь на канале миллиона подписчиков. Это была единственная цель. Никаких коммерческих задач у канала не было — например, продавать лицензии или продукты в моменте. У команды «Джони и Клайд» была полная творческая свобода, никто не стоял над душой и не объяснял ребятам, как правильно делать контент.

Почему так: потому что продукт в ка…

Nike executed a disastrous pivot over recent years, away from physical retail to D2C. Now they have no choice but to embrace Amazon, but that might be the best thing that could happen to them.

Драсте! На чертеже можно делать надписи разными способами: словами или числами со списком. Какой вариант лучше?

Мне нравится первый, потому что не надо запоминать число, а потом искать его в списке. Но менеджер, который переводит документ на английский, печалится, что надписи после перевода в Ворде расползаются, приходится их вручную выравнивать и топит за второй вариант.

I’m working on a privacy-focused photo backup concept.

Instead of syncing to cloud services like iCloud or Google, the idea is to let you back up photos directly to your own:

PC or laptop

HDD or NAS

Private cloud or VPS

It will use a secure peer-to-peer approach (similar to Tailscale) so your data stays in your control.

I’m still validating the idea — would love feedback!

I am the founder of 1Core Solution (“1Core”), based in Cupertino, CA, the heart of Silicon Valley.

Back in early 2000, childcare software was all desktop based with siloed back office functions and limited consumer facing interfaces.

I noticed a gap in the market and saw the potential for cloud-based software that could fundamentally change how software could be developed, delivered and supported in the childcare industry.

We built the first version of our solution by working with a few childcare providers in Silicon Valley.

You can learn more about my background and 1Core Solution:1Core sponsors a Youtube channel called The ChildCare Channel, a safe space designed to Inform, Inspire, and I…

This is what I am building today, and is what will eventually be the number 1 personal brand consultancy worldwide and have a team of 500 consultants.

The term personal brand was coined by a man named Tom Peters in 1997 in his article “The Brand Called You” which was published in FastCompany.

Within 3 months, the business appeared as if it was around for years and was already a trusted, vetted, personal brand consultancy.

I initially went on a podcast tour and was doing interviews that felt like every single day talking about MCG, writing more articles on industry subject matter, for example why you would hire a personal brand consultant, why you should build your personal brand, and how ou…

My name is Tony Wang, and I’m the general manager of The Cat Cafe in downtown San Diego.

We are the first cat cafe to open in Southern California and we are the fourth oldest continuously operating cat cafe in the United States.

We first learned about cat cafes when we saw an article about Le Cafe de Chats in Paris.

We are The Cat Cafe, as opposed to other cat cafes that have cute names.

But if you work hard enough at it, and you succeed, it will feel great.

We are a bit different in that we focus on German conversation/speaking classes - we don’t do traditional grammar classes.

We don't tell anyone this but what we really sell isn’t German classes, it is confidence!

To get around this and practice the German I was putting so much effort into learning, I thought I would start an online group for German learners.

But the issue was my German is intermediate - so half the people had German worse than mine and have better.

A poor decision of mine was not grandfathering in everyone who first joined (about the first 80 people) as free customers for life.

We are a Media and Consulting agency focused on the U.S. Latino demographic and are working towards building a marketplace for Latino-owned businesses.

We currently run a weekly newsletter and social media focused on elevating positive stories around the business, culture, and social impact of U.S. Latinos.

The newsletter started and is still currently free to readers.

To continue growing our audience and agency clients, I will double down on consistently posting across social media platforms.

Over the next 12 months, as I’m increasing agency and newsletter revenue, I’ll be focused on slowly building up the first iteration of the Latino-owned marketplace.

Because owning a self-storage facility didn’t seem like a real estate investment.

It sounded more like I would be running a small business.

The self-storage industry is interesting, because it benefits greatly from a lot of modern business practices.

We knew our focus coming out of the gates was to build a self-storage business with a heavy focus on technology and process optimization.

Our first Iron Storage facilityThe first storage facility we bought and revamped was about an hour from where I lived in Houston, TX.

I am Stefano Lodola, founder of Think in Italian, a language learning platform designed to help individuals master Italian through an immersive approach.

My research confirmed that there was a gap in the market for a more comprehensive and engaging approach to learning Italian.

However, many language app users have expectations that work against them (“where are the quizzes?

At its peak, my site had the largest amount of organic traffic among those focusing on teaching the Italian language with 130k visits/m.

Instead of those spammy “best xyz” listicles that any content writer can make up, I published hundreds of grammar notes to attract people who are serious about learning Italian.

Our current hero product is the Vonu Lounger, a multi-use lounger that helps with tummy time, reflux relief, burping, and gas relief, and encourages face-to-face time with your little one.

As of right now, we’re less than a year in, and over 10,000 babies and parents have found relief with the Vonu Lounger.

We ended up with the first Vonu Lounger which we called a “Burplee” at the time.

We use our social proof and UGC to build a community around the brand and the Vonu Lounger.

Davante, our co-founder, taught himself how to buy media a few months into building Vonu and has done an incredible job creating a paid media team around him.

What we had in mind was a simple, clutter-free email hub, where people could manage all their inboxes and reduce some of that email anxiety we all experience.

To this day, I believe it shows in the way Mailbird is built, its features, and the overall user experience.

Our customer base consists of two main groups:The heavy email users.

Mailbird - Last but not least, of course, we use Mailbird for our email management needs.

My son, Asher, and my wife, Paige, and I started our woodworking business four years ago: Frailey Woodworks.

Each of these skill sets are now focused on our high-end furniture making business where we specialize in full-scope design and build.

Soon, we ventured into other custom mid-century furniture, and our business took off.

Building our first hand-powered sit/stand desk took several iterations before we had a working prototype.

These customers took a chance on our company and we are very grateful for their trust.

Aithor helps with research, essay planning, sourcing trustworthy references, and adhering to specific types of writing.

We are broadening our focus to include content creators such as marketers and managers, while still supporting our existing student base.

It wasn’t until about four months after the product launch that we realized we were in the right place at the right time with the right team.

We quickly went to market, attracted new clients, and received valuable feedback, which led us to refine the MVP.

Hey, my name is Kyle Bigley and I am the Founder of TxtCart, AKA the AI-Powered SMS Marketing company for Shopify stores.

We’re a unique SMS Marketing company pioneering conversational commerce with AI agents generating sales and resolving customers questions via text messages.

Now, we’re over $1M ARR while still bootstrapped and are setting our sights on $3M ARR by 2026 (whilst still bootstrapped).

So I started TxtCart right before graduating, and took a Project Management job out of college.

Holding out on external investment from either Angels, VCs or crowdfunding makes building a SaaS in an ultra competitive environment like SMS Marketing incredibly difficult.

My company specializes in designing and manufacturing modern, stylish flatpack furniture and other designery items.

This allows me to focus on what I'm good at – the creative process – and leave the manufacturing to experts.

The combination of life on the road and designing things inherently designed to travel or get deconstructed and reconstructed resonated with me.

I also use Notion for ideation and notes, Shapr3d for CAD design and drawings, Illustrator for logos, Pacdora for packaging design.

Natural curiosity is an essential tool for entrepreneurs: asking questions, seeking to understand how things work, and being eager to learn and inquire.

I was based out of Singapore and was working with an edtech founder and looking for ideas in the AI + edtech space.

Explored several ideas like vision AI based analytics for live tutoring classes, adaptive learning and AI generated quizzes.

A year later in 2022, I put together all my learnings in AI quiz generation into an Udemy course.

So I built the first version that just takes text input on a left textbox, calls an API behind the scenes and shows the output text (quizzes) on the right textbox.

There are so many things like influencer marketing, email marketing, paid ads, SEO, newsletter marketing etc.

Software development, nutrition, business strategy, economics, AI - I've obsessed over them all.

Free product feedback can be deceiving - they might not value it the same if they were paying.

Some crucial parts weren't ready (like, you know, showing people their AI generated headshots), but who needs a complete product, right?

As you can see from the screenshot below, we were ranking for an important keyword, ‘Ai headshot generator’, in April.

Install as many product feedback loops to drive insights about your target audience.

I didn’t even have time to “build in public.”But I needed income.

It was simple:1-page AIDA playbookCTA phrases with platform-specific structureFocused execution layout for Pinterest, Quora, and LinkedInNo fluff, no tools, just positioning + messagingI shared it with a founder.

Then we signed a short-term contract: $5,800 upfront.

Looking for a capital partner to help you accelerate the growth of your startup?

The VC fund I founded is currently investing out of a $41M early-stage fund, looking to write initial checks of $500k to $2M into bootstrapped or lightly funded startups that have achieved $250k or greater of ARR and looking for a partner to help them scale.

Primarily focused on B2B software, fintech, and marketplaces.

Starting a civilian careerAfter a decade in the Australian Army, I began exploring a transition to a civilian career via an MBA and other supplementary studies.

I started as a COO within DreamFactory, a platform that instantly generates REST APIs that help companies bridge the gap between legacy data stores and modern applications.

That's where I was introduced to the wild world of SaaS sales, product development, and SEO!

The secondary part of the role included continuing to build the Xenon Partners portfolio through acquisitions of small-scale, B2B SaaS companies that would benefit from a disciplined and operationally focused leadership team.

We don't have all the answers, that's for sure…

Here are five underused platforms where AI agents can be deployed — plus how to deploy them.

Voice AI agents: Unlocking a new audienceText-based AI is everywhere.

Embedding AI agents in SaaS products: Borrow distributionInstead of fighting for new users, why not embed your AI agent inside existing SaaS platforms?

AI agents in niche communities: Slack, Discord, RedditSlack, Discord, and Reddit are powerful places to deploy AI agents that do real work inside conversations.

An AI agent that lives where work gets done is more useful, more used, and more valuable.

At first, I tried launching my own projects, but… let’s just say it didn’t go as planned.

I had zero real-world experience and spent more time Googling “why doesn’t my code work” than actually building anything useful.

That’s where I really started leveling up—working alongside smart devs, shipping real projects, and finally understanding how the pieces fit together.

These days, I still work with design and marketing companies as a developer, and I keep freelancing on the side.

If you’ve ever tried to build something from scratch, you know the struggle—and the fun—never really ends!

Hey everyone,I'm bootstrapping a small e-commerce brand called Mildly Prepared that makes funny, actually-useful survival kits for chaotic life moments (like toddlers in airports, babysitting as a grandparent, etc.).

The product side is done: the kits are live, affiliate infrastructure is all set up (Payhip + MailerLite + Zapier), and now I’m testing growth channels.

Right now I’m looking for people who enjoy creative outreach and want to earn 50% commission by recruiting affiliates for us; basically bringing on people who want to share the kits with their audiences and earn from sales.

If you’re:Good at outreach, networking, or community stuffInterested in unique, personality-driven produc…

Bunch - LetsBunch.com - is looking for a technical co-founder, preferebly full-time, but not necessary, to hustle on equity as Bunch bursts into the stratosphere.

I'm Aleksandra, I've been working on this idea since late '22 when I created a meetup in Jersey City and saw how much need for getting together there is.

Launched an MVP in June '23 called DiningSocial - rsvp for dinner with me as a host - with an attendance fee.

To accomplish the mission that DiningSocial was attempting to research - Open up more of society to all of us - I built an app and launched it in Jersey City Jan '25 - called Bunch.

I'm highly technical, but I want to move on and hone more of my business talents.

Hey Indie Hackers,I just launched PinSend - a web app for sharing text instantly between any of your devices, using a 6-character PIN.

No accounts, no apps,no cloud storage, no install.

Existing tools were either too slow, needed a login, or felt like overkill.

Demo scenario:Open PinSend on your phone and your laptop.

Start a session, enter the PIN, and paste or upload images or text.

Hey guys,I can see a lot of cool projects here, so I decided to share the one I've been working on for several years.

Meet AllClinics, a healthcare market intelligence platform that provides more visibility into the U.S. healthcare market.

Basically, AllClinics shows you info on all licensed hospitals in the U.S., including procedures, prices, doctors, and more.

Our goal was to make such data more accessible to small and medium-sized businesses to help them innovate in the industry by backing their decisions with real data.

This seems quite niche, but many companies in the market are dealing with healthcare data to create products, improve services, and create effective partnerships.

This is indie hacking.

At night, I’m reading MDN docs and trying to decide whether the primary CTA should be blue or slightly bluer.

High-tech, high-speed, but you’re pressing buttons far removed from the thing you’re supposedly flying.

Indie hacking is like building a canoe with your bare hands.

Oh, and if you’re wondering what I’m building: it’s this weird little SaaS.

I didn’t have a funnel.

I didn’t have a strategy.

Most days I didn’t even know what I was doing.

So I built one page that could sell.

It just works.

I’m building a project called FreshCycle - it solves a boring but real problem I kept running into:I’d constantly forget to change my HVAC air filter.

Eventually, my AC would struggle, the energy bill would creep up, and the air in my house would just feel… off.

This one hits close to home: my dad is a retired HVAC tech, so the idea feels personally meaningful.

Any tips for early traction (besides ads)?

Here’s the site if you want to take a peek: 👉 FreshCycleReally appreciate any feedback, I’m here to learn and improve.
