   I used to use Dash [0] all of the time when I was traveling a lot because I loved having all of the relevant docs and stack overflow questions available offline. How does your offering compare to theirs? 0: https://kapeli.com&#x2

   Was just about to link to your tweet on this subject from the other day. You saved me the search!

   Yeah, "track" in your URL seems to be the culprit. Bad luck.

   I think that's not really an issue though is it? If you say "never charge me more than $100" they can a) ensure they never charge you more than $100 and b) work to optimize their own systems so that they cut you off as close

   I'd say a year would also be a reasonable estimate here once the person is out of their 6 month probation period. It varies by country how much easier life is during the probation (easier in Sweden, not super much easier in Norway, not

   Disarming is an excellent way to describe it. When the people who you feel that you're on par with point out that you're not pulling your weight, there's no place left for self delusion.

   There are a lot of articles out there on this subject (as this article points out). I think it's increasingly rare to find companies that can't see that value in code reviews. What I'd like to see instead is some surveys of c

    Congrats on shipping! I think being privacy first as a company is great, but I'd like to understand a bit what that actually means in terms of differentiation. My assumption is that many players in this space (particularly those target

    I work in Scandinavia where "just fire them if they're not improving" is a lengthy process. So when I got a case like this on one of my teams, it was worth my time to try to help this person improve because with their long te

    We'll be making the todos within work items more rich as well, which usually satisfy those who like to break things way down. Best of both worlds.

    Thanks for signing up! We're definitely going to be making a video for the landing page. We have a slightly different take on things we think (even though there's a certain amount of table stakes features you need to build to get

    For me it'll forever be the year my startup [0] launched, we got our first users, our first _paying_ users, and got into the accelerator we wanted. In what was otherwise a totally crappy blur, I'll always have some fondness for 20

    Really excited to see what this offers! Anyone have any details on features? We're working on a product management tool [0] that integrates to all of the other tools our own development team uses regularly (Slack, Github, Figma) and No

    I a big believer in the fact that splitting tasks into little micro bits that we work on in isolation is really holding teams back. Sizing work so that it's big enough to be of some value delivered to your users is a great way to actua

    There was some effort to make it possible to use Qt without moc [0] and instead rely on some more modern C++ features. No clue where the effort is these days 0: https://woboq.com/blog/verdigris-qt-without-moc.html

    Kind of annoying to have a review and not have a single picture of the phones, screenshots, etc. Yes, I can google them myself, but c'mon. Also $1999 and the camera doesn't work yet? Yikes.

    Not sure I think that's a big argument for microservices/atomic functions but rather just for decoupling things in general. For me, the appeal of microservices is the organizational challenges it solves (allowing teams to move and

    This looks cool! We always struggle to find a simple editor for demo videos for our product. Will definitely try this out.

    I might be alone in feeling this way, but when I see "team lead" and "a big part of my job is doing code reviews", it raises a red flag for me. Is feels like "the boss" who is "approving" code before

    Absolutely! And I personally find it much more motivating than just chasing a business idea that I don't personally care about. Does, I think, raise the chance of falling in love with your solution though, which is also dangerous.

    We're big Cagan fans at Kitemaker. In fact, most of our thinking around the product is tied into empowered product teams. Cross-functional, autonomous, self-organizing and impact-focused. We want Kitemaker to be the best tool out there

    One mistake I (and no doubt other founders) made was assuming you'd "get it right" because you were scratching your own itch. My cofounder and I started our company [0] literally based on the pain points we were feeling and s

    Hadn't really considered something like a forum TBH. We just want a place where people can come and give us feedback on our product, potentially in private so other teams can't see what they're saying. People often expose thi

    For my startup [0] we have a slack community where we ask people to come engage with us and give us feedback on the product and how it can work better for them. We love it. Teams usually want their own private channel so they can discuss th

    Took that one the wrong way - apologies. I'm not sure we have something I'd call PMF yet. But again, that's all about your definition.
