Seriously. Everyone here seems to think every business should be a permanent bootstrapped, profitable company. If you play the venture game, which Kraken is, you need to grow fast. Typically, though not always, that means hiring people to s

I’m really surprised there isn’t a solid batteries loaded framework in JS. There’s just no way I could use node + express over Rails / Django

We'll look back one day and wonder how this was ever a crime. This is a symbolic move, since it rarely gets enforced. But needed nonetheless. Now let's get municipalities to put those lights that detect when a pedestrian is crossi

This is my favorite community on the internet. It's the only one I don't feel gross about after spending time on it. Shout out to all the talented people here and for @dang for keeping things in check.

From one founder (of a much smaller startup) to another: respect for writing this. It probably wasn't easy but the fact that you took the time to do it and share learnings so that the next startup in the space can benefits speaks volum

Depends on your definition of bad. Urine smells, homeless people, and knowledge that muggings typically happen around that area? I’d call that bad. I’m with you - we need more public transit in the bay. But there’s a huge swath of people wh

As a side note, this comment in itself is interesting. We are seeing tighter integration between frameworks and IDEs, almost a reversion back to early visual studio days. Will be interesting to see how each nudge the other.

It's really stunning how Microsoft and Google have allowed this. 3rd party OEMs are significantly crippling the Windows & Android experience. Wouldn't surprise me if attitudes change here.

Founder, similar stage, though haven't encountered what you have. Read through your other replies. I would grant them the equity. It's on you for not firing them earlier - don't make them pay for that mistake.

When I refer to craftmanship, I'm referring to the software experience. No slugishness, no crashes - everything just works.

I got a MS in Comp Eng from Columbia awhile ago. Some good reasons to get one, tuned to your background: * Because you are self taught, getting one gives you more credibility and increases your chances of working at a traditional, large com

The comments in this thread are unusually interesting because everyone is chiming in with different reasons. A lot of diversity in the reasoning.

Curious, as I'm totally oblivious to this - how does one patch a closed source binary to get around this protection?

Get the SE. Aside from battery life, it's great in every way. Picked up the 2020 version used for $150. This is after 11 years on Android.
