I have been looking for something like this for almost a decade and I even built a prototype and applied to YC with it in 2014. The problem is that in order to make email searchable, it has to be indexed by attribute and stored, most likely

At my company they are enforced with a linting profile and commit hooks...your PR will be rejected if it is not formatted according to standards. For code structure, PR reviews will catch bad practices and when building new functionality a

It could be that the price of the software reflects the effort that goes into the sales cycle, or ongoing support. Say you can hack together a competing product in a few months. You still have to go out and win over customers from the 800lb

We can be sensible about it...for example I don't like using straws to drink, so I don't ask for one. If I get a burger to go I'll refuse ketchup packets and just use the bottle at home. And at the grocery store I bring my ow

Is your apartment's management ok with mounting a camera on the outside of the building? Also, why restrict yourself to the view on the other side of the wall? With a screen you can show any view you want, like a white sandy beach or a

I'm curious as to what circumstances caused you to have no access to healthcare? If your job doesn't provide it you can get it through an exchange (possibly with subsidies).

We have really pushed the "Jira as the source of truth" mantra. Git commit hooks keep Jira up to date as far as moving tickets into "ready for review" when the PR is submitted, and into test when the PR is approved. The

It would make more sense to work remotely for a company in Silicon Valley or New York if you lived in Kansas. That way you could take advantage of deeper pockets and a lower cost of living. A Glassdoor search shows senior software average e
