Founder of https://www.waiterio.com which is a B2B SaaS that provides apps to manage restaurants. My perspective is that we should cut most of the 33% of the labor not by reducing salaries but by having more skilled staff but le

Vanilla webviews is definitely possible on Windows with Webview2 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/ The problem though was compatibility since that webview might be based on old version

At https://www.waiterio.com we use plain webviews for Android, iOS and macOS without any framework and Electron for Windows and Linux. The problem with frameworks is that once a year Apple make a change to their signature and it

Language is a big barrier. With my first startup waiterio.com we had to build a lot of custom tools to narrow the linguistic gap. I'm turning one of the tools into a public SaaS: https://www.polyblog.io helps you build mult

I'm trying to login in the AWS Console from other regions but I'm getting HTTP 500. Anyone managed to login in other regions? Which ones? Our backend is failing, it's on us-east-1 using AWS Lambda, Api Gateway, S3

I was wondering the same with the COPYRIGHT note at the top of all files in a code repo. Clearly someone that have the code can easily remove the COPYRIGHT header but then it will demostrate they had actively red it and decided to remove it

Yes personally I'm afraid at some point Vercel will just sell out like Heroku did with Salesforce and stop investing in R&D.

It seems Round C of $102M was just in June 2021. https://techcrunch.com/2021/06/23/vercel-raises-102m-series-... What are the reasons for two rounds so close to each other?

I have been a solo-founder and developer for the first six years of waiterio.com I also wanted to focus on development and create few tools to automate other processes. Right now I'm spinning off publicly one of the tools I've cre

The article gave me hope and inspired me. It aligns with many of my ideals like: "Good is the enemy of perfect" "Done is better than perfect" Iterative (agile) improvement "2 steps forward and 1 step back" and

We use node.js and the cold start times are negligible. Java, C# and docker based lambdas have problems with cold start times but we do not suffer from them. We also use JAMstack and our html pages are statically generated in advance with C

I feel like ARR is a vanity metric compared to MRR. In the SaaS industry MRR is the most commonly used metric. ARR = 12 MRR 500k ARR = 41k MRR ARR is just used in the title caused it's a bigger number and makes it look more impressive.

We do use monolithic lambdas written in Node.js and do not have cold start times problems. The problem with cold starts is more related to Java than to monolithic lambdas.

The whole stack of waiterio.com runs on AWS Lambda. We do use several Monolith lambdas and it works well. I believe the reason why Lambda has seen so little adoption is because cloud architects suggest to break existing services into a Lamb

It's very likely they thought of this and planned sufficient fire detectors, sprinklers, cutting-fire doors and emerging stairs and exits. In a 11 floors building the occupants would not be evacuating from the windows. You can't l

Yes I think too much context, feelings and empathy is not transmitted on the web. If you meet a friend on the street and he seem sad you won't be bragging about your awesome vacation or promotion. Humans automatically tone their statem

I think some scientific experiment would be needed to prove the hypothesis made by the article.
