It is true that GoChat doesn't need to be that expensive to maintain and his analysis is pretty much correct (I've maintained something that had similar amount of traffic, similar dynamics, and didn't cost me arms and legs at

You would be right if the narrative was "It was super hard, it was unfair, but I worked my ass off and I succeeded regardless." But that's not the case. The narrative is "There are less women in tech. The companies shoul

I don't think the founder of Zipcar or VMWare got to their success by going to conferences and talking about "women in tech". They built stuff that people want. Period.

I'm glad there actually is a competent woman who can say this out loud. Nowadays it's impossible to say anything against "We need more women in tech" without being called a sexist. I do realize it is harder for women but

It really depends on what one's standard of "shitty code" is, but in my case my shitty code does perfectly fine until it reaches significant scale (as in millions of users). My thought process is: when I reach millions of use

Wow with this title you won't get any female customers interested, good luck with that.

I agree with you in theory, but from experience it is extremely hard to achieve when you're actually in that position. Unlike what you say, it does take much longer to write great code when you're trying new things every day. Ev

My personal opinion: They failed because they launched big and didn't let people use it. I remember first signing up for beta, waiting, waiting, and waiting, and never getting an invite. I even tweeted at them but never got a response.

What you say is indeed important, but I wouldn't say the work before that is not "real work". It's just different types of work. Ask any successful startup founder what their initial codebase was like and they would say-

If you think it's so unrelated, then maybe you didn't understand what he was trying to say? Doctors are necessary and important and deserve to be paid well, since they deal with life. But that can be done by anyone really. I'

Before realizing what I clicked, I really wished this was Meatballs and WebGL.

Maybe counting all the dependencies? You know, you need millions of lines of code to run an npm powered js app :)

Haha you know you've failed at your joke when you need to explain it, but I totally sympathize with you now that I know where you're coming from :) Good job on your app

I would have been disappointed if he said something out of your playbook. Those are very cliche feel-good PR comments that anyone can say. It's almost like those people at conferences asking questions they're not even curious abou

Maybe not the only one but I don't think it's something to be proud of. It's a great book and I'm sure a lot of people are aware of the concept even though they haven't actually read the book.

Lame answer to "What do you believe that few people agree with you on?". I don't think "few" people think that think AI will create more jobs than destroy. This type of controversy has existed every time there was a

I don't really get what your age has to do with posting here. You should just describe what your app does, because your app looks cool.

It's quite the opposite. There's excessive amount of content out there so the problem is not the lack of content but the fact that there's too much content and you get into analysis paralysis in terms of where to learn. A lot

If 50 million dollars isn't rich I don't know what is. Maybe reading a lot of Techcrunch made us think people aren't rich unless they're billionaires, but stop and think about it. He's much richer than me, and proba

I knew this would happen from the beginning, but actually seeing it happen breaks my heart. I really can't interpret this as anything other than Jay-Z trying to be like Dr. Dre. The difference is Dr. Dre's company actually created
