Eat your own dog shit
- gpcz 14y agoI'm not quite sure what the phrase means to the author after reading the post. Is he/she referring to the standard (and less vulgar) software engineering concept of eating one's own dog food? If so, it seemed that the article went off in a bunch of other directions after that, amounting basically to the main idea that startups should work hard. If not, a definition of the term would be helpful to know the lesson to be learned from the article.

- SG- 14y agoI have no idea what Fray is and i looked and tried clicking on a few things to take me to their app or product page and couldn't find it...
- davewasthere 14y agoWell apparently: > Fray is a mobile-based buyer-powered commerce marketplace that connects offline businesses and individuals to global consumers. We revolutionize the supply chain into a peer-to-peer exchange and empower users to create micro enterprises. But I'm still no more enlightened. And yeah, www & fray.it both redirect to blog.fray.it. So no idea where their actual app/product page is...
- mahmud 14y agoDon't you mean dog food? http://catb.org/jargon/html/D/dogfood.html http://catb.org/jargon/html/D/dogfood.html
- bjxrn 14y agoBut that wouldn't make sense either, the post isn't about them using their own service in any manner.
- ixobelle 14y agoYou mentioned people have no idea what Fray is, then proceed to not mention what it is.
