This is true. I have a niche e-commerce in this space. People loved it so much that the app went down for a few seconds and then we got A LOT of angry calls! The app is made for on-the-street salesman so it is optimized for fast invoicing

My issue is that I don't know how to avoid the apple password never getting in the way (fail them cause account lockdown). Is it possible to totally restrict access to settings/password entering in iPad?

This is like monads, is better to not look at the definition and just get examples. I like the way is presented here: https://mikeinnes.io/posts/transducers/ The main gist is that "effect" allows you to

I think it could work well (is my case actually). A lot of SaaS is just a simpler/different take on a big one. For example, mine is way less powerful than Freshbooks/amazon. I still live from it for the last 20 years with less tha

The major trick, IMHO, is not to grow. While a "normal" startup is focused on growing! growing! growing! a small company should instead think like a physical restaurant: "I have 10 tables * 4 seats. 4 waiters. Operate Lu-Fri

One of my major tricks is to just wait before doing things. And ask If doing this should be done instead of that. this helps to eliminate greatly this scenario.

I work as part of building an RDBMS, but most importantly, I know how people misuse RDBMS for more than +20 years. People write terrible schemas. ORMs hide complexities and make terrible queries. Some people refuse to use sophisticated

My main test for a UI framework is if I could solve the hardest 'widget/interaction/perf' problem and if I need to make that myself or need to just tweak it. For example, because I work on business apps, I need a solid &

There are many kinds of apps that use of "distributed" databases is an antipattern...and useless to make them scale. MOST apps did not need more than "tenant-per-company" and then, maybe, distributed among a small set of
