A team always need to know what their goal is. For start-up, an engineering team might focus on product iteration/finding product-market fit. If you tell me scalability was your focus in a 3-man, 3-months old start-up, my response will

Agreed those are arbitrary point. And so is every hiring process. Pick some attributes that helps you define good people, good business, good tech and that's it. At the end of the day, it is a subjective process. I bet whatever "o

Thanks for the pointer. Will take some time to digest the content. Have you considered in making a library, so whoever wants a session replay can manually initiate a recording? So you don't have to maintain a browser fork. I am asking

Good technology alone isn't enough to lead to adoption. Tiddlywiki, imo, is the best personal blogging tools. It is a static site, it got an embedded editor, it got cool concepts realised like transclusion, among many others. Go ask ar

I think the article is a convoluted way of saying "use your judgement". The cost of adopting certain design, per the article, is not a real number, it is an estimate. The probability of needing a feature, P2, per the article, is a

I faintly remember there was a project called slidify. https://github.com/ramnathv/slidify The last update was several years ago. Was it no longer maintained? How does it compared with MarkShow?

In my experience I would even say having a boolean field in your table is a bad idea, with rare exceptions. e.g. - You may want proper state transition rather than having 4 booleans each representing one state - You may want to normalize th

Thank you for the reply. Ya I'm relating to performance. When setting goals to designers, I find it difficult to measure their performance. I am interested in measuring, for example, design consistency, iteration throughput, collaborat

Awesome project! Bookmarking for sure. Dumb question: after signing up, am I getting some access to a privately hosted repository(pypi.codestasis.com)? How is the mapping between personal/pro plans and features done? Are different plan

I think it is a bedrock in bridging gaming and real life. From now on you can visit virtual store in real-but-in-game location and do all the purchase without leaving the game. Imagine GTA, but everything you buy is real

"offset" can be passed transparently to db to retrieve a range of records while "cursor" is customarily implemented in the API layer. I think that's what "opaque" meant in GP's context. A starting re
