This looks interesting, though I was a bit surprised to see Dragon's Den in the list of movies. I always found Dragon's Den to be the outlet of the desperate, where one receives a small sum of money for a huge stake their company,

In my previous startup we used mongo as the main datastore (this was pre Postgres 9.4, before indexable JSONB). It worked for us, and it worked fine. I saw the mob rising up against it, but we have not had any of the problems (maybe we just

It might, but those are edge cases that should not merit a full blown commercial enterprise to sell them. I can imagine what's going to happen next: co worker did me wrong, I'll nuke his laptop when he's off to the loo. Girl

If this is meant for "testing ones equipment", and most devices will be destroyed in the process, then a test means a sacrifice of the device. Short of actual security/test professionals who would want that? Malicious use is

It was not meant for data - it is a presentation tool. It is the result of consuming data, not the data itself. For that purpose it's not ugly and it fits its purpose. No idea why my comment was downvoted...

I spent a lot of time looking for Draft like editors that would be simple, small yet have the potential for power. This project nails it! Well done.

How about this (just throwing some ideas out there): 1. Create more niche "properties" that provide a small to medium services. focus on something people might need, be willing to pay a small amount for, and ideally can run with m

Nope. Nothing new here. I remember SOA very well as the buzz word du jour back then. It sounds less cool than micro services though. At least we got our buzz words through the PR & Marketing departments in this decade.

Bottom line is that it's all a case by case basis. However I'll always warn against slicing microservices too thin. Each slice is a moving part outside of the machine and therefore brings in additional risk. I recently refactored&

I have a 4th one, also quite important to me: 4. I decided that a rule that cannot be broken when pragmatism requires, is not worth having. Common sense must prevail, always.

Also many "successful exists" are so because there is some monetary gain, but the gain is minimal considering the amount of time invested and money lost during that time. I had a couple of those. The experience gained was worth mo

Yeah, decision 1 to say Yes was only applicable until I felt confident enough to say No. Perhaps I should have added 1.1: Unlearn decision 1, and say No when you don't want to do something.

I can't pinpoint a single one, but a few in a sequence: 1. Before I built my reputation and experience, I said Yes to a lot of things. Not all of them I could do, but once I said yes and jumped in the deep end, I found out I can do the

I will be considered old by some youngsters, though in my head I'm still 17. And as an "elder", I'll concur that what said here by "old and jaded" is true: Cash is king, startups will want you to feel "fam

I'm sure my early teen eyes saw only a glimpse. The one I was shown was designed for the Israeli air force. This was the closest I got to sit in an F-16 cockpit, and the closest I got to super computing power even films couldn't s

Flashback scene begins. When I was much younger my dad (who has a print business) was tasked with printing panels for F16 jet fighter pilot cockpit to be used in a simulator of the aircraft. The simulator was developed by a private company.

That is true, but there has to be a balance between public and commercial, and "balance" is a lacking feature with most (if not all) political parties, and in particular with Labour at the moment (this idea beggars belief and is a

I've done something similar as an experiment a few years back but I've used Meta Classes which define themselves, to support a schema-less model backed by MongoDB. It felt like a more flexible and correct approach at the time. In

Films are not startups. A film is a sum of it's parts in a very even way. A good film must have a good story AND good acting and good cinematography, and good music. When the balance is broken the film suffers in some regards. When tha

If that is the case, that idea was in the wrong hands to begin with. All the successful ventures you see seeded by an idea but grow to the success that they are because of execution and good ol' fashioned luck. There is nothing origina
