We actually tested Axelor as well! At the time, their documentation was quite lacking (in English at least) to the point that their installation instructions didn't result in a working system. (We got it working using a windows system

Ninja is the most visible example, but the same pattern holds true at virtually any audience size (within the range of what is typically monetizable). This pattern is actually more extreme on platforms like Patreon because the audience is

Twitch is an extremely imbalanced platform in regard to discoverability. Their model is to 'make the big bigger' and monetize a narrow field of creators well, rather than monetize a larger pool of creators. There are a number of v

Patreon is quite a bit of work and requires constant upkeep to maintain a steady income flow. It's really no different from Twitch subscriptions in that regard. It does a better job of monetizing primarily because of the easily customi

IIRC the 1k true fans idea was walked back by its original author after they got feedback from industry folks describing how the model was basically impossible to implement in the real world. This holds 100% true to my experience in influen

Supporting either party at this point goes against my moral values. Both parties support war (or other violent action) and I refuse to support any such action that isn't purely defensive. That issue alone is a disqualifying factor for

Absolutely. I think that it's a necessity for businesses to periodically review their processes and see how 'tool x' fits in, and whether it can fit better . Filling in the gaps or improving workflows can unlock treasure tro

I have perfect eyesight and I have to say that I'm very happy dark mode has become more popular. Light mode straight up hurts my eyes, even with the screen brightness turned down, and even in an already fairly bright environment. It se

If forced, I'd say Dolibarr is probably the best for 'real' ERP use-cases. I say 'real' because ERP is a buzzword that has been beaten to death to describe things that don't even approach what it's intende

I have to agree. I've had the massive misfortune to have to implement and test (almost?) every open source ERP/CRM system out there from vTiger, Odoo, SuiteCRM, Yeti, NextERP, Dolibarr, ...and more that I can't recall from th

So, Google (And others) are evil, but because customers don't value privacy until it's too late, it's okay to abuse them for profit? You aren't ethical if you only act ethically when you are forced to.

There are definitely quirks to the way car dealerships are run. I imagine there are similar 'weaknesses' in just about every industry if you put in the due diligence to find them. I always find it somewhat comical when incentive

Positioning fair market value as your asking price (whether it's 500k or 25k) isn't what I'd call trying to win. It's just asking for fair compensation. If you know the rough value of your position, which isn't norm

This is absolutely true, and I address this as part of rule #1. -- Below is how I mitigate that in my world, but if anyone has good strategies/tactics to handle such scenarios, please share! Being well-informed means going in with the

It's totally possible that I've been lucky in my career so far. Or just that my personality type lends well to this sort of thing. There are exceptions to every rule, but I've negotiated with Russians, Chinese, Americans, Bri

This sounds like a process issue to me. If you document what was discussed as it happens ("Just to confirm, you're happy with X?) and have a record of that (actually recording a conversation, with everyone's approval of cours

I'm very undecided about AI, but this argument doesn't feel right to me. The ability to run fast was never the 'unfair advantage' of being human. Cars are a tool to help us overcome physical limitations. But what happens

Countries are package deals. You get different election mechanisms, political structures, cultures, laws, and so forth. In the context of American history specifically, sheriffs have played an important role in balancing power within our po

Not at all. Using marijuana laws as an example. Federally, marijuana is very illegal. However, it is very popular, and almost nobody is still supporting its criminalization. So, many sheriffs decided to basically refuse to enforce the l

Honestly, the American way of doing elections is awful by any objective standard. It systematically homogenizes the political positions into two camps where neither camp actually reflects the will of the people. In every election the most
