Talk to friends who work in non-Tech industries, ask them their most time intensive/monotonous task. It can be industry/domain specific or not. If they can’t think of any specific, ask people lower down the food chain, e.g. intern

What about people who drive trains? Are they not allowed to call themselves engineers? They don't build anything.

There is merit in using Smart Contracts for managing royalties, etc. however building a streaming service on top of it seems a bit misguided, it should be abstracted out.

I tried something similar with My Startup Fail ( http://www.mystartup.fail/ ), but definitely like Autopsy's approach better.

Not to steal dopeboy's thunder, but here ( http://dopeboy.github.io/Lessons/ ) is a post-mortem about his startup. It might provide some good tips on things to avoid :)

It kind of reads like the author doesn't know how to use git... In no way shape of form would I use Dropbox as a repo. I have however had experience during a hackathon with a team member who was doing some HTML stuff who didn't kn

I don't quite understand a lot of the arguments in this post. The one that got to me was about startups who are stuck in their own niche. Every coffee shop doesn't need to become a massive chain, it has its' own niche and pro

Very interesting article, something every manager who manages developers should read. However I think a lot of developers (Particularly startup ones) have multiple roles, so interruptions and changing flow is a part of the job. How do you s
