I am not GP but the argument that typed language is always better to start with has its own fallacy. What if I don't have experience with a typed language and I need to get to Product Market Fit first where most startups fail ? You nee

Join a small company or startup where they don't have dedicated Sysadmin/server/devops people. Now you could do it all for them.

Few things: 1. Talk to your co founders if not already about this and see what they have to say 2. Take a break for couple of weeks before deciding anything. "raise a smaller round at a more reasonable valuation" This makes me thi

I didn't say All women seek jobs with lower barrier to entry. I am talking about QA and why it tends to attract mostly women in India. Plenty of women go into other fields including Engineering. QA has ALL women is not same as All Wome

This is laughable and absurd. Eating meat has nothing to do with caste. Please don't make assumptions based on some shitty article. It clearly has an agenda. Now, let me tell you what Indians do make fun of. If you are a hardcore veget

See my comment above about "women in QA". Also, "no female engineers" is laughable because that is 1 anecdote. There are plenty of Indian female engineers. You know that right ?

Hint: It is not casteism. It is cultural. Women in India want to get into IT (best way to make decent money) and QA has lower barrier to entry with less pressure. Nothing to do with casteism. This is why GP's comment is extremely reckl

I can't speak for others but I may be tight lipped personally because it is a very complex issue that a non Indian cannot just understand. I see this tendency that people of non Indian origin throw the keyword "caste" without

Caste System exists in India but you are generalizing way too much by saying "My Indian Colleagues". I am an Indian-American and I hate the caste system. I love that America is multi-cultural and allows people of all cultures&#x2F

I would nitpick the title a bit. Revenue is never easy. I think they should rephrase as "Revenue is relatively easier than profit especially if you have PMF". Once you hit PMF (which is where most startups fail), you can just pour

1and1 and Godaddy are absolute trash. But what's your issue with Namecheap ? They have solid support and yes domains are a bit pricey may be compared to another registrar but when I look at domain registrar, I care mostly about Support

Ok then let's ask another question. Is there a real competitor to Cloudflare ?

Wow. If a company has to layoff with those numbers, that is insane. I guess the Venture Market demands that or it is just a ploy to get rid of low performers in general. I wonder.

The premise of YC is that you will go full time with a co founder. However, the co founder matching doesn't stop you from finding someone to do a side project with first and in fact, that is the better way. It is like dating before mar

"Months before they did". That doesn't mean anything. Being first is not always why you are better. Myspace was first. Friendster was first. Alta vista was first. Lycos was first. Focus on why your product is better or differ

I run a SAAS and whenever we try to implement usage based billing, it is a lot of work to educate the customer on how it will work. I think this is more of a business than technical problem. Like you said, usage based billing has its places

Be careful because a lot of smart people from FAANG may not be a good fit for startups.they are more corporate types nowadays and are probably used to easy money with not much pressure. Startups on the other hand are nothing like that

Depends. I hate the whole JS ecosystem and NPM hell so if I can get away, I do. I can never go for JS on the backend personally. I am happy with good old PHP, Go, Python etc.

Add a minimum fixed fee + hourly after that. For example, you can say "I usually charge a minimum of 5K to solve these problems but it could bhe more depending on additional time spent" Up to 10 hours: fixed fee (.e.g $5K) 11 hour
