  • Hacker News
  • It’s not you, it’s all of us
  • get a personally branded one and use subdomains

    I should heed my own advice, I've been buying up the TLDs for mine

  • I bet they're real good domain names too.
  • Should we start AAA meetings? AI Addicted Anonymous
  • Are you me? I managed to not buy a domain name today for a project that I didn't actually need to do, so I'm doing alright.
  • Buying a domain is pretend work.

    It feels like progress, but doesn’t make a project/product better or even make it more likely to work…the only advantage it has is being easier than useful work.

  • Get a single domain and use subdomains till one of your projects pop off. Or use the cloudflare worker/vercel domain that is by-default provided when you deploy apps on those platforms
  • I have a problem with buying domains that just seem fun or cool to me. For example, I bought `sysalt.com` -- why? because it was registered in 1992 and that seemed cool to me.

    What have I done with it? Nothing. What do I plan to do with it? Nothing yet either! Do I still want to get a domain that was registered earlier than 1992 just because it's cool? You know it!
