thanks for sharing. I'm a former Uber engineer still reading in most Uber-related reddit threads how they could build the app in a weekend

  There needs to be a game of Uber HN/Reddit thread BINGO. Squares include: * Uber being a simple CRUD app * Uber having no moat because it can easily be disrupted by those able to build the app over a weekend, because Uber is a simple CRUD app * Uber continuing to operate solely because VC's currently subsidize every single ride

    * Medallion taxis being safer because they're more rigorously inspected. Free space in the middle: drivers have no clue as to their costs and are only signing up because they're too naive to realize they're losing money.

      Just because it's a spot on your bingo card does not mean it's not true.
