   Is that traditional A/B testing, such as what landing page gets the most sign ups, or are you somehow A/B testing The sites SEO?

   You can encourage flow though. Turn off slack and outlook is a great start. I find I normally get into flow more easily with a pressure washer and dirty floor than with code! The other one is when I’ve “Ubered myself” to a destination, driv

   I hate crazy hours! But I wouldn’t go down the VC root and I wouldn’t be trying to create the next Dropbox.

   What I didn’t realise (and to be fair it didn’t exist as it does today) is how much developers don’t need business people to employ them. If you don’t have many responsibilities (ie no kids, no sick/poor relatives, no serious illness)

   I agree with that. Project with vague names like “improve speed” or “make it look beautiful” can go on forever! It’s better they are broken into incremental projects “use bootstrap theme” which can be considered done and then if there is an

   I like to: * Have only one task in progress * Close unnecessary tabs and applications * Reread every word of the spec * Only have the relevant terminals and IDEs open * Close communication apps and email Get started!

    I take the comment that something that is 99% done in time may or may not not be 99% valuable. Example: marathon race. If you stop at 99% of the way it’s like not having run at all. Example: washing the dishes. 99% done is pretty useful In

    I’ve used Zoho for a while and you can add on domains. It’s pretty cool and the online mail is a pretty decent UI.

    I’m also convinced if you take a year off and do 6 or so projects in ernest and they all fail you are still up. It’s valuable experience! Probably a developers rite of passage to try this. I haven’t yet though tried in a big way but have la

    There isn’t much info before signing up about how this works. Is it a substack clone? Is there more to it?

    You are brave buying a high energy chemistry experiment from Alibaba. I’d stick to regular retail for that!

    You mentioned productising what you do. I take that to mean consulting of the sort where you go in and charge $10k or whatever for an X. You do some work but there is no talk of either how many hours or who is physically doing the work. The

    I agree with you although if the meeting is booked and there is nothing else to discuss then it’s OK … but probably should say “this concludes the 1-1, I’ll write it up now and then we will move into talking about the technical details of X

    Just want to comment to say it’s totally ok not to work hard (nebulous definition but let’s say hard = forgetting your mum’s birthday hard) I think articles like this imply (whether intentional or not) that our existence need to be driven t

    I feel for you there as I’m sick myself in a way that means even working is a challenge. My suggestion for you and possibly advice for myself is if you can’t “travel” then move. For me I imagine working 2 years from New Zealand outside of a

    Yes and the other problem is using Gates as an example is the problem of extrapolation from an outlier. Taking a survey of 100 YC participants would be more interesting.

    .php files were the original "lambda"s. For true serverless, turn off your PC, laptop and phone and go for a walk in nature.

    The only way I'd trust such a service is if it's domain name ends in .gov (or equivalent for other countries) and is free or a nominal fee.

    When walking the dog, occasionally pick up another dogs poo for karma and to make up for the poo you occasionally left behind. Also 3 second sniff when dogs are passing in opposite directions. Illegal offleashing is “ok” if no kids are arou
