Product Board includes this but you'll probably want buy in from whoever maintains your roadmap.

I don't think you're going to find anything that glues together auth and billing like you want. I'd look at Auth0, Firebase, and adjacent products for the auth part. Stripe really does the heavy lifting with subscriptions, sh

IME, this works pretty well. 1. Step by step instructions to get the development environment setup. If they run into an issue, update the guide. 2. Deep dive into the product, how the business works, where product is going + why, and how th

I had a friend who was approached to buy his private equity. In his case, the company was doing quite well and expected to IPO, so he felt it would be better to just wait for the liquidity event. Might be a similar situation for you, maybe

Many to many is almost always the right call. I've used an array on occasion when I knew we wouldn't be querying by it and didn't want the extra overhead. You can always extract it to a many to many later if needed.

No correlation is a bold claim. It seems obvious that a web based startup built using Rails is far more likely to succeed than one using bash scripts, if all else is roughly equal.

It is still subjective. There is no objective way to use each language to build a product.

You need to fix your content. You can move to a different provider but you're just going to get blacklisted again if your emails are getting flagged as spam by automated systems or the folks you're sending email to. I worked at a

I don't think you should write off software engineering as a career based on one internship. Companies vary wildly.

It's kind of hilarious that TikTok is basically Vine with longer videos. Wonder if the Twitter exec that shut it down is kicking themselves.

If you feel learning to code would be a worthwhile end in itself, sure build it yourself. Just recognize it'll take much longer and you may have to scrap it when you bring someone more technical on. Otherwise you should outsource the a

What do you think Bandcamp should be improving? What would a better alternative look like? Genuinely curious as an artist pretty satisfied with Bandcamp.

Do you have stats on that? Based on my anecdata, I don't think YC startups are guaranteed successes at all.

Bit concerning they haven't been able to build a sustainable business off a website that has become more or less a canonical resource for software engineers by now.

Because large companies like Intuit lobby to make the process complicated so they can sell expensive software for taxpayers to navigate it.

Yea I agree, a comparison to sidekiq would be helpful in evaluating and was what I was expecting to be covered on the page.

Your side hustle should be leetcode because you are severely underpaid for NYC.

Do most Shopify stores have enough traffic for this to produce real results? Seems like the vast majority of Shopify sites are small and are just going to get random results due to a small sample size.

The major reason is going to be software support (e.g. MDM, endpoint protection, etc). Having a deal / set procurement process seems like a pretty real operational constraint to me. At the end of the day, it's going to cost them t

> laziness, ignorance or corporate bureaucracy I get that you're upset that you can't use the OS of your choice, but this is not a fair assessment. There are very real, valid operational constraints that lead companies to restr

IMHO, the easiest way to evaluate if a candidate can do a job is to give them tasks that they would do on the job. In your case, it looks like you should have them generate a report and try to find a bug in some business logic starting with

I'm surprised the play here is to make your own bank rather than integrate existing banks. I've never worked in finance though, maybe integrating with banks is a PITA.

First, find a cheaper API that accomplishes the same goal. Second, email Google billing and see if they're willing to give a discount considering the accidental and non-commercial nature of the charge.

This post encapsulates why Figma is winning, because there are thousands of teams doing this work dealing with the headaches of having design spread across multiple expensive tools. Figma just does it better.

Homelessness seems easy enough to solve. Build a bunch of free housing, but giving away housing doesn't jive with our society so nobody is motivated to do it. Least of all Silicon Valley.

Same. Pivotal is nice because there's very little to bikeshed, but it's a double edged sword because it can't evolve as your processes get more sophisticated.
