I agree about all those other sectors.
It's just I'm tired of seeing all those "social" startup stories, and the thousands of posts in the intertubes typically from some aforementioned startup employee/founder using all the half-baked or ill-suited technologies du jour, and posting something better suited for Comp Sci 101 as a huge discovery.
That's what I deserve for scouting all over for some relevant Python/Ruby/Web dev etc articles, I guess.
(disclosure: I work in a startup, but one developing, gasp an actual product (!), sold to the customer etc, employing several PHD guys to code in good ole C and implement new hardcore algorithms for our class of problems.).
- viandante 15y agoAgreed, I also somehow see a big distance between the start up community and the real world. The term "big data" is an amazing example of this. Everybody speaks about "big data", yet companies are left dealing with "middle data" with old painful spreadsheets. Everybody writes about listening the "customer". Yet, as you also imply, nobody seems to really care. I work in finance/controlling and yet I never managed to have a discussion about the domain problems of my field with those start up people, maybe there is a problem right there... p.s. can you put a link at your start up?
