Northern India has always been this hot. I remember in 90s and early 2000s and god it was so freaking hot in May and June. There is this thing called loo in India (not the toilet) but this is warm westerly winds which start in the afternoon

It is a shame that some parts of American govt is such a slave of big businesses that they keep public good behind corporate good. For instance: gun ownership, monopoly of car dealerships for unfair & opaque practice, not upgrading rail

I also disagree that this is just a plain negotiation. The timing of it suggests it is not. They want to throw the OP off board just before the cliff. I think of this like this: OP created the cake of value being in a near equal partnership

Sometimes it is not just about the money. Believe me you won't be able to sleep well after walking away from something I this. I would not want any techie to walk away something like this. You gotta fight for what is rightfully yours.

Stay on and fight. If anyone has to walk away it is the other guy. Believe me. Lawyer up and fight it out

Best revenge would be to shut down the effing website and watch the other one go up in flames as non tech guy won't know how to switch it on. JK This is very unsound and simp like advice. He has built it. If anyone walks away it is the

Tell him that you would sue if you are forced into any decision. You have built this with your sweat and blood. Do not give up. If anyone has to leave, he should. Go to investors and tell them you would sue if forced into this kind of black

Linus gave us git to get rid of centralized repos and we web devs invented github to centralize it all. Sometimes I feel we web devs behave worse than fashion industry when it comes to blindly following random trends, making it all religiou

Uber has made the taxi market worse off than govt controlled taxi services, when it comes to pricing, safety and affordability. These shady practices prove that the interventions such as surge pricing is just a money making scheme for them.

"Slack is terrible" - There I fixed it. It is not a troll comment. I tried to get my org to move to slack from whatsapp groups. People (non tech) love them flexibility and UI etc. However they were quickly disenchanted due to the

Well before you guys start doomsday predictions, let me tell you that Churu is in Rajasthan which is in Thar desert. Temperatures like this, even though very high and uncomfortable, are not unheard of. We are in midst of a very hot summer b
