Thank you for sharing this. I've been slowing down turning my idea into a startup because it isn't much more than a CRUD app for a specific market. My interest has been diminishing because in my day job I work with growth companie

MacOS does this. Native mac apps somehow can preserve file references even after the source file has been moved or renamed. The unfortunate part however is many cross platform apps are't written using the Mac APIs which then leaves an

Are you seeing that people are taking that message to heart? Those around me don’t seem to be changing their attitudes. So, I don’t see any reason why things will change long term.

I don’t think you sell to the enterprise at this stage. You sell to a manager of a department, and keep the deal size small enough that approvals are contained at that level. Then expand the account later when you’ve gained traction and can

Netflix has in app purchases, but you are right. Their billing faq says it is for grandfathered accounts only.

I think you nailed it. All the consumer subscription apps I could think of offer in app purchase. While the apps that target businesses do not. It seems Apple is enforcing their rules to selectively target consumer oriented apps. Which, fro

Replace Hey with Salesforce or any number of SaaS services for other examples of apps that don't work as a standalone free app.

Agreed. I should have also mentioned that I bought my LG as a refurbished unit which made the purchase easier to stomach.

I have an LG ultrafine 5k, and a cheap BenQ 4k. The difference is night and day. I hate the BenQ* and will dump it as soon a I can. My suggestion is to hold off until you can save up and buy one of the suggested displays when it's in y

We were told that globalization made things more efficient. So, if you always saw it as a race to the bottom you are smarter than I and many others because that wasn't what was sold to us. Maybe the real problem is that in the 60s we w

I wouldn't consider increasing the labor pool by 10% a small effect. Regardless, and once a company has figured out hiring remote for Canada, then why not add Mexico which through NAFTA/USMCA has sorted out IP type issues. Then on

As a counter example IP laws in Canada are aligned with US and is the same timezone, yet with currency exchange salaries are discounted by 30%.

In addition, there are a couple concerns when branching out to other countries: Currency exchange means some can work at a discount compared to USD Government subsidies hoping to diversify their economy may even pay partial salaries Strong

I appreciate your short term perspective, and agree with you that today remote work doesn't have these fears. However, the author is thinking about a longer time horizon. As an example, with agreements between Canada/US and simila

Yes. Given schedule pressure a dev, in a monolith, can avoid good practices and create a web of dependencies. Eg. To get this feature shipped in time I’m not going to refactor the billing interface to expose new attributes that I need. Inst

As developers we have done a poor job of managing complexity. Largely a result of schedule pressure that leads over time to code bases that have modules that reach deep into the internals of other modules. The consequence is a complex codeb

Your approach is great for small teams that can work closely together. As the team size scales the additional complexity of this architecture let’s teams work More independently. At least that’s my take on why you’d want to replace a monoli

I clarified my intent. Trump profited politically. We have no evidence that Trump profited financially, but from what we know of past leaks from the whitehouse I'd be surprised if nobody profited financially as well.

The stark contrast is in reality it is the President that is trying to profit, not a regular joe. edit: To clarify I do not mean to suggest that Trump profited financially like the fictional character in the movie, but rather Trump benefite
