Since the product is launched you should really provide the actual product that way we can give you specifics instead of vague wantrepreneur sound bytes. Regarding pivots, there is a large body of reading that might help you create your own

It would make sense since react does the jsx thing and Vue uses straight html inside of the template tags.

1) Start your business BEFORE you quit your job 2) Make sure you are good at sales BEFORE you quit your job (and that you've sold stuff) 3) MOST businesses fail because they don't have enough revenue, not because of product or peo

gotta agree with you on the windows phone thing... circa 2012 the Nokia windows phones were really well built AND they had the easiest operating system to use at the time... windows had burned so many people by that point though that no one

Your job is not "code writer". When you first come into this line of work you will see your work as synonymous with writing code. Nothing could be further from the truth. Code is a liability, software is an asset

Facebook was kind of funny when it came around- ostensibly it wasn't much different than other companies... only that the design was better at the time (I can still remember the hideous tangled mess that was myspace at the peak). I can

I could see where you would argue that direction though... it makes sense that data persistence shouldn't be so differentiated. The power of brand and the paradigm I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's pretty interesting because I would argue you got the trend right just not the method.

This used to be a super common narrative/ theme for articles, but they seem to have gone out of fashion. There's nothing inherently wrong with choosing to use a monolith approach or attempting to build your startup around a SPA- t

That is very much a thing to consider... it just kind of becomes a cost-benefit analysis thing. FB has some problems that very few companies in the world have... but they've solved most of those problems at this point and given the siz

I'm working ahead of the game in California... looking for property inland just a little bit ;) ... given the commitment the United States is making towards climate change, I should have a nice beach front house in 20-30 years. Now I h

Just depends where you are... As an example: Taking the train from ~OC/San Diego to Santa Barbara is absolutely beautiful, way better than staring at bumpers for ~3 hours trying to make it from orange county to the other side of LA. Yo

Basically the 95 Corridor (Boston to Washington D.C.) is accessible via public transportation and a few isolated cities are manageable (SF, Chicago, Portland, etc) within proximity to the city but the rest of the United States Requires a Ca

It's just like hiring any other candidate except they went to a code bootcamp. Same goes for Comp Sci graduates... except they know big O notation.

We use it for a ton of our APIs. So far it's been great. Basically anything that don't have long processing times. The main challenges that we've had are pretty funny tbh. The documentation is scattered because we use the Ser

TLDR; Stay where you are. Long Answer: I'd guess that you're looking for more factors to be able to evaluate the decision. Let me go one by one then add some other thoughts. 1) the cost of living is absurd but you adjust. You may

I had to double check when this article was released... to my surprise it was written in 2019. I assumed it was from the early 2010s back when Toyota and Honda were pushing the fuel cell tech... Mainly so they could work with the existing e
