Technically, macro was a crack. Not a hack. Hack should make things; Not break things. But, I think you are right. Hacks have gone through the hype cycle. When every programmer wants to "hack" to be in the elite circle, they tend

a) I think it is a great idea. b) My co-founder already does something similar on LinkedIn. He sends a LinkedIn request if there is interest to the email and chats on that. Seems to work well. If you can remove the friction of connecting on

Great stuff! Looks like the whole dataset was imported 2 days back. If you can stream it daily, I can use table decorator and avoid processing all the records.

This is great advice! A common sub-case of this is not throwing proper error messages/not validating inputs. Without that, users will be stuck when they make mistakes. If you stick your stand that "it works for me", you have

I think quality was the result of no-margin business. They could have fixed it (through training & skilled/hired employees) if they had good margins. Today's TC article was bang on - http://techcrunch.com/2015&

It had product-market fit. But, was a no-margin business. Although Uber is the same, it makes it up with surge pricing. Still, it was a good try and I am sure some startup will figure out a business model in future.

Pretty interesting how products pan out! On one hand, you have a 2 weeks hack that's becoming a VR platform. On the other hand, you have years of research that culminates into Project Loon. You could argue that Google lacks focus. But,

Does this involve a sales person to manage relationship and an additional pre-sales person to do the POC? Is this done onsite & how does this affect your pricing?
