I think it is important for you to think about how/to whom you want to sell your product. Do you want to have a bottom up approach where you sell to the engineers touching the code everyday? Or do you want to sell to the CXO of an orga

I'll just say that getting a MS will not change your situation at all. MS is just a couple of years of working experience, and a stamp of validation if you get it from one of the top 5 institutions. Talk to product managers and see if

I'd echo a lot of the other things people said here: simplify your product. Even if you are selling a complex product. There are probably certain components/services that are simple. Try to isolate those simple components and just

I vote for genymotion. The performance is amazing, and very useful features that are actually easy to use (location mocking, camera mocking, etc.) The default android emulator always ran kinda slow for me. There are some performance hacks o

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to build, it sounds a little vague. But I can tell you which application has helped my productivity the most - Slack. Communication is the biggest roadblock for my developer experience. Unclear

it is hard to dedicate large chunk of time on a regular basis without clear ROI attached. What does the watch party offer that a discussion forum doesn't? Is the real time feedback really worth me stressing out about making a chunk of

Did you have a choice to the type of health insurance that you can choose from? 17.6% is ridiculously high by any standards.

There are often good reasons to have unequal split, having the product idea is NOT one of them. Ideas are a dime a dozen, and they are basically worthless without the execution ahead. If the cofounder can give you a clear execution edge, th

When it comes to building a successful startup, you really should focus on just 2 things: 1) Build great product 2) Talk to customers 2.5) Iterate + repeat I'm not exactly sure what you mean by 'networking' and what you expec

Really cool idea! Would love to check it out. One concern I'd have is: how are you guys funding this? How can I trust that you will be making the donations that you claim?

I learned this from James Altucher - force yourself to write down 10 ideas every day. They can be terrible and impractical ideas, but don't worry about it. The exercise is meant to help you exercise your creativity muscle. After a whil
