   lol thanks for checking choremate out! Assuming you're using the chore chart with others, you are now assigned the chore twice rather than once in the rotation of the chore. It's no more than a weak disincentive for missing chores

   Mostly because you have or anticipate having git-specific needs other than backups, like having a central collaboration point as part of your git workflows. You can use gitern like a backup service, but that is a subset of what is intended.

   Very context dependent. If you're at a small startup, you'll want a lot. When you're at a larger company, things typically get specialized, there will be dedicated product folks, and you'll find programmers with 0 produc

   I've been trying to do this for a few years (admittedly failing). You can come up with complicated models as some do, but I prefer simple models (3 dimensions or less): What do you want? What are you willing to build/iterate on fo

   If it’s anything it’s content marketing for YC. I suspect it’s origin is that it was just something pg wanted.

   I think the answer is that demand for development/developers is increasing and even now we are far from peak demand/digitalization. Even with the huge financial incentives supply of developers is constrained by the mental capacity

   Trello all day. Each book gets its own list. Each item in the list is something I want to remember. Yes you have to write it out but this cost: 1. forces you to only save what matters 2. encourages you to compress the info which requires yo

    I feel compelled express myself. I'm pretty bad at "succeeding" with independent projects but I suspect - like with anything - I'll get better incrementally at least.

    Wow, I'm jealous. Good luck! You're in pretty rarefied air. There's only 20-25 a year and they've been doing it for ~10 years. So maybe there are 250 Thiel Fellows total. [1] There's a list of notables on [1] that y

    Thanks for giving it a gander! Right on the money. I think that's the most approachable revenue model; "free unless you don't do your chores" or some such. Perhaps a paid tier with additional features or gated by househo

    I built https://choremate.co because we needed it ourselves and I couldn't, initially, find something similar. When I applied to YC I did more extensive research and found lots of past and current attempts. My approach has

    It's mostly skill development. I don't want at the end of my career to be a great big company programmer.

    Try different goals until you find a goal you don't want to stop working on. Goal setting/discovery is a skill. You need to work on it like everything else. The reasoning will sound tautological but it's true: If your problem

    I mostly work in my backyard these days. My #1 tip: Get a big sun hat! If you don't tan well you might want additional protective sun gear. Devices get a bit dustier/dirtier so be prepared for that. It'd be nice to not have t

    I'd mess around with it if I didn't have to give you my email first. Maybe provide a demo? If you don't have a product yet, you should say so and ask for feedback on your idea/landing page.
