There definitely is a market for a product like this. I think the best thing would be a native app with deep git integration. Engineers can see the entire project and edit templates while end users get a GUI to drag and drop those templates

Correct there is a lot of work to be done. It is not 90 days worth of work. If you think that is not enough time, you need to raise your standards.

The number itself is not misleading or incorrect, it is just useless. If I wrote an article with the lede "Amazon pays market rates for labor" no one would be interested in reading it. The manipulation is leading you to believe th

The headline falls into what I would characterize as a "useless fact". The number is meant to manipulate you into clicking the article based on the belief that Amazon is unfairly compensating its employees. While I'm not an a

Just because something is unpopular doesn't mean that there is a reason for it. It is actually surprising how few users you need to have a viable programming language.

AWS is the leader in the cloud because of its 6-7 year head start on the competition, not because their product is better than their competitors. There was even a company built on top of AWS that made money by creating a reasonable UX on to

Not to offend you or your work, but IMO Amazon makes the worst software out of all the big tech companies. I think that this is related to their ability to attract and retain talent due to their poor work culture.

It depends on what your deductible is. With the increasing cost of healthcare, we are seeing companies go with higher and higher deductible plans. We don't compete solely on price, however our prices are extremely competitive even for

This is how we run our medical clinic in South Carolina. All of our prices are public and we try to get you the lowest possible cost. You will never receive a bill for which you did not know the price ahead of time. We support this by havin
