I used Firefox for most of last year. I consistently ran into issues where a form wouldn't submit, or a website would appear subtly broken, but it would work in Chrome.

Ultimately I switched back to Chrome full-time as a result.


What do you care about?


Total market funds like VTSAX (the largest mutual fund in the world) will have to buy it as well.


Yeah, but on the normal, longer timeline? The fuckery around indices was that Nasdaq changed their rules for it to include it much more quickly, but that was limited to Nasdaq, no?


> not having a network to bounce ideas off of or even try the app makes that part difficult to go from 0 to 1

This wouldn't change if you quit your job.

Keep your job, stop building, and start talking to potential customers.


Agree and fairly practical advice and one that comes up frequently when watching videos on yc founders etc.

I think another thing I'd like to point out is that it isn't necessarily 'quit your job' as it can also be 'do i take on more responsibility at work' or new role vs keep same role and split time between project and work.


How can someone steal MIT-licensed software? The license says:

Wow I had no idea ngrok had raised $50M, that's wild!


purple.com had a similar page for years, and eventually the mattress company rolled up with a dumptruck load of cash


IBM has ~300k employees and uses Slack.


Don't forget Underscore!


Node also has a built-in server and SQLite these days though? Or if you want a lot more functionality with just one dependency, Hono is great.


And how many dependencies does Hono have? Looks like about 26. And how many dependencies do those have?

A single static zig executable isn’t the same as a a pipeline of package management dependencies susceptible to supply chain attacks and the worst bitrot we’ve had since the DOS era.


> And how many dependencies does Hono have?

Zero.

I'm guessing you're looking at the `devDependencies` in its package.json, but those are only used by the people building the project, not by people merely consuming it.


That doesn't prevent supply chain attacks. Dev dependencies are still software dependencies and add a certain level of risk.


This is needlessly pedantic unless you are writing from an OS, browser, etc. that you wrote entirely by yourself, without using an editor or linter or compiler not written by you, in which case I tip my cap to you.


Only in the sense that any other software on the developers' machines adds a certain level of risk.
