We're in our late thirties and just spent the last month (pretty much 24/7) learning golang while developing our own cloud-based relational database (which has some really impressive benchmarks by the way) so this whole idea that

Our next step is to make available a legal software library that users of our app can then 'check' titles out from and use. We will keep possession of the physical media, and grant exclusive 'access' to each title to onl

So... the idea would be I'd design, engineer and manufacture a (presumably hardware) product at great expense that's essentially 'locked-in' to a single proprietary network that could a) spontaneously cease to exist due

Emigration is going to be difficult, isn't it? Companies seem to rarely sponsor immigrants unless they're total rockstars or aqui-hires because in-sourcers like TCS can bring "average" IT workers in cheaper. It looks lik

Yes, if there wasn't a problem with bias then why would there be a need for Startup Weekend for Women? Why would the only female-driven product from TCD be a manicure app? Every time I've pitched anything technical to men, you can
