As ceo of htmx I’ll field any questions now


What are the credentials you need to become CEO of HTMX?


Well, you need an X account, so too high?


I doubt that.


no, they are a CEO of htmx

so are you:

https://htmx.ceo


/u/recursivedoubts correcting /u/recursive has to be some of kind of joke you guys prepared in advance, right?


Not prepared in advance, but I knew the user name on the htmx guy, so I just decided to use the word "doubt".


I'm sorry, can someone please explain


Anyone can be htmx CEO, even you could be without knowing it.

I'm an htmx CEO, btw.


As another CEO of HTMX, how do you feel about this release?


My father (farmer) has been diagnosed with AD. In the 90’s he had direct accidental exposure to herbicide drift from a crop duster in a windy day. He suffered from a short term illness immediately after and peripheral neuropathy since; I wonder if his AD diagnosis can be added to the list?

Also: AD fucking sucks.


A one time exposure? People that live on or around farms are constantly exposed to glyphosate. Infact they spray so much glyphosate it ends up killing trees in neighbors yards.


I think a charitable read would be a ‘one time extreme exposure.’ Passive exposure is bad, of course, but getting poison dumped on you by a crop duster has to be terrible.


Yes, one time extreme exposure. Enough to make him sick for weeks that I never saw before or after.

No doubt continuous exposure didn’t help at all or might have been the real cause… or all of it combined. Or none of it.


As a 100% remote employer this has been a boon for our hiring as it has freed up highly skilled employees that can’t/won’t RTO.


yeah, it's perfect. It does the opposite as well; grifters who cannot actually do what they were hired for but instead just talked and smooched their way around have no chance remotely. No one is entertaining them and after not so long you get a 'higher up' asking 'so what actually are you doing here?'. Had a project manager on friday: everyone thought he sucked (as a project manager!) while in the office but the c levels thought he was good as he was running around and talking a lot, but via chat he has nothing. So he is gone since friday.


Neat!


We’ve implemented a single file code reading/refactor step of our interview processes and it has been very effective.

I think you could have great success with this, good luck!


Thanks for the support!


Cool project, but I hate the use of the RoR acronym


For anyone else who was confused by what ROR means, it's ruby on rails.


Y tho?


Because undefined acronyms suck. Plenty of space in the title for the full "Ruby on Rails Debugbar".


I was just last month quoted 15-23k for an install in the mountains of Idaho. I got a competitive quote and the price was similar.

If it cut my electricity bill in half it would take 10-20 years to break even.


For a mini-split system, or central heat pump? Do you have existing ducts? What's the square footage?

We recently upgraded our central heat pump as the old one died after 15 years or so. IIRC the total was $13k CAD, so around 9-10k USD, which included indoor and outdoor units for a roughly 3000sqft house, with installation. But all the ducting was there already, so it was just a matter of swapping out old unit for new. (Got some nice government grants too, so it was only a few k out of pocket.)


Central, augmenting existing electric forced air with existing ducts. Similar sized home.


Wow, surprisingly expensive then. It might be worth getting more quotes if you're still interested. I found the ones we got here varied pretty widely, so you may have just gotten a couple of high ones.


> If it cut my electricity bill in half it would take 10-20 years to break even.

Presumably there is a useful life on your existing heating system. At some point it would need replacing?


Assuming electricity is already used for heating, baseboards heaters are just big resistors and have basically unlimited life.


.. but are way less efficient than heat pumps. It's all about cost of installation vs cost of use.


But that just takes you back to the 10-20 years. The point here was that the math changes if you need to replace your existing system anyway.


No such thing as bad publicity


[press 𝕏 to doubt]


I’m using it to deploy a dockerized nodejs app, it works great!


do you have a guide that you followed? having tried to follow the readme it seems like it only works on DHH's machine with a certain configuration of rails and linux


No, just the guide in the readme was all I needed.


I'm in the market for a heat pump in my home to replace electric forced air which is in a cold climate. It seems like this heat pump would work great for me, and being able to see pricing up front and self-order sounds awesome!

I'm gonna be a no on purchasing tho. I don't want a smart thermostat that is not system agnostic. High risk of it bricking the system or not being upgradable, minimal reward when compared to all the other smart thermostat options.

A heat pump manufacture that's trying to be a tech company? Nah.
