I've worked with previous my boss's son. This guy felt like he was the best at everything and would get annoyed if people gave him critical feedback on anything he did and would insist he was right. Therefore, even when more exper

Have you looked at the keynote? They'll now be blocking a bunch of the tracking techniques that these apps use. Yes, you're right about the past, but they're making changes to be better in the future.

Sure, they really could. But for me, it could be a reason to pick Lyft over Uber for example. I hope they add support to the App Store description, that would really help filter apps.

What's your plan to scale this? Do you think running out of coffee beans is an issue on international scale or just national?
