Different dating apps cater to different mindsets towards dating. Some ban pictures in favor of words; while others only work if you have great pictures; then others want one to mention their annual income ranges.

A few harsh comments in play store are interesting too :p and many downvotes are because there are in-app purchases. Seems to be quite a problem with play store. They should have an algorithm or UX flow to weed out such reviews.

Pretty good suggestions. I did love to charge $100 an hour. Maybe if I spoke at a few conferences, I did be able to charge that. However, thats a US/Silicon Valley number. Europe, which is closer, will find that number too high for its

Nice short article. Its a bit difficult to do that same if one is from a developing country though (flying is expensive :-)). A more interesting problem to crack.

I do think it would help in hiring tech talents and maybe also with raising future rounds at high valuations. I know more about the first than the second. Also it does make me happy to see more Indian startups being a part of YC.

by navalsaini 9y ago
Why YC? Its an app focussed in India, I was wondering why would you need YC. It certainly must be a great experience and is a brand among people in startup world (doubt beyond it), but unless you have imminent global plans does it still mak

I agree, monolith first and have proposed a talks to few JS conferences on this topic. I however have not worked in a company that uses microservices architecture at a big scale (like uber, instagram, etc). I am keen to understand - (1) wha

Modules add another layer above the current access control constructs in Java world (public, private, etc). There are several benefits to them, like discovering a missing dependency much earlier on (statically), not importing the code we ar

Ps... did you do anything to become less unavailable to the team? Like standup meetings or scrum. Or any other interesting strategy.
