When the choice is be happy with your assigned school based on your location, or you have to uproot and move your entire household, homeschooling becomes one of the few options when public school is failing one of your kids.

Could you use crypto instead? Use USDC (or some other semi reliable stable coin). Exchange for stable coin in other currency. Then withdraw to local bank in India. Move in small amounts at first to test everything out, check fees, etc.

I lived with half of my teammates at the time, so I don't think it's as simple as saying it's due to the social interaction. When it's competitive the entire focus is on winning. Sure you have some chuckles in the down

If your stories are so well defined the dev doesn't have any decisions to make in the process of coding, then they're more of a glorified type writer than a dev. There's plenty of decisions devs make that impact how quickly t

I disagree. Engineers have a habit of over engineering. Businesses have a habit of introducing too much process, too many meetings, too many layers between the end user and the engineer building. A lot can be done most of the time to he

You misunderstood my meaning. Planes prepare for, I guess what I'd call individual component type failures, so the flight as a whole doesn't fail. They do not accept a 1% chance of failure. The plane stays grounded and doesn&

Planes prepare for basically 0 chance of failure. Most startups fail. And everyone involved should know that going into it. To operate a startup protecting against all risk will likely guarantee failure in almost all cases.

Best way to stay motivated is to ship often and regularly, and get feedback from (potential) customers as often as possible. You can be the customer, which helps. But other customers, ideally paying customers, is motivating assuming you ha
