Interesting! Haven't heard of Baserow, but will check it out. Yeah, can't imagine how you'd bootstrap data like this. Definitely sounds like it'll be the core competency that will set you defensible against late follower

Congrats on launching! What was your tech stack? From app development to getting food truck data, what did you find difficult?

I don't think it'll be technically possible to release code to the taxpayers and no one else. It may be the case that code should be released publicly. But their reasoning does not seem applicable.

Expecting to be an unpopular opinion, but this also seems like an effective way to enforce maintenance and progress. If a good app is no longer maintained, this will release space for new enterprising developers to come in and fill.

Good idea! Thanks for organizing this information.

Please keep up the processing power progress! Economics of the software industry (or at least the products that I work on) depend on the assumption that cost of computing (including storage) diminish exponentially over time! <3

Seems like they had a good attempt, and the team learnt a valuable lessin on the importance of validating the business (not just the product) ASAP. I wish them luck on their next enterprises!

I like UNPHAT idea, as long as it is executed in an agile way. That is, at a given moment, perform multiple stages that can be done safely without feeling blocked by other stages, then iterate, where in each iteration, one tries to do all p

Making companies chase growth is good for the economy. Assume for the sake of contradiction that we the humankind decide not to incentivize companies to chase growth. This would mean the humankind is enabling a company to sustain its curren

Physical size (one USB stick) is an ineffective unit of data. Pretty sure we can fit all the data you burnt in on one USB stick today.

I disagree that merits outweighed the demerits in the case we are discussing here, but I respect your viewpoint.

Perfect one sentence summary. I wasted a minute or two searching online for the difference between the two, but I should have read your comment first! Thanks for communicating precisely and concisely.

I didn't dig deep enough to know the difference between the "real" ones and the illegitimate ones. My current approach is, don't fix what is not broken. If I'm happy with the system I have now, let it stay until the

I grew up hearing a lot of buzz for concept maps (or mind maps as I heard). I never found them to be as powerful as advertised. A concept map is slightly easier than writing in bulletpoints because it can ignore structure. But this makes it

Companies fix past mistakes all the time without publicly denouncing the team's previous work. Apple brought back several ports in the new MacBook Pro series after killing them several years ago. This was done in a confident manner und

You are citing words from my comment, but you are debating against imaginary comments which you invented. I already clarified in my previous comment that what you are debating against is unrelated to my comments, and I have no further clari

This is an incorrect interpretation of what I pointed out. I pointed out that Jack Dorsey worded his tweet in a way that invalidates work of his former team and brings their morale down. You are either following a slippery slope or setting

I believe your comment is a straw man argument. I did not ask Jack Dorsey or any other leaders to lie. The idea of 'promoting deceptive behaviors' is a concept that you introduced in this conversation, not me. Let me know if I mis

They are fellow human beings, and I wish for them to be both prosperous and fulfilled. That we have rewarded them with cash is no excuse for us to condone abuse.

Words of a leader, or a symbolic representative in this case since Jack Dorsey has left Twitter, weighs more heavily than words of other people. You don't have to convince me to see the way you do, since I have no interest in blocking

Must feel crushing for Twitter employees. I am amazed Jack Dorsey is arrogant enough to "regret" the enterprise. He must be under a delusion that "he" built Twitter. He's completely ignoring the fact that "his&

As humankind progresses, we'll abstract more and more. Already, most are not able to put together these systems from semiconductor design. Or writing the OS. Or programming languages. And that is fine. I envision that in a decade, we (

Okay fine. If you buy people's time and skills with money, I guess you can solve all software development problems with money. I meant, say you want to ship [any new software product]. There are parts that are common to everyone, and p
