That is very cynical comment. Libraries are made to fill a gap. The reason they come up so fast is that the underlying technology keeps changing. It is so easy to forget that these are open sourced libs with permissible licenses that you ca

This may sound crazy but we manage our entire SAAS and open source project with GitHub Issues. We have monthly milestones and assignments and seems to work well for our team of 15 devs. Where we are hurting is managing multiple projects. It

Unlike the European states, Indian states are do not have a long running political history or national "myth". They have been formed based on linguistic similarity and for ease of administration. And they are not homogeneous eithe

Unlike China, India has a very weak nationalism. The "Chinese Dream" is very much the American Dream redux. Countries that have made great progress have always had a strong nationalistic spirit, may it be Britain, Japan or the Uni

This model works because China run a huge trade surplus, and its excess production is consumed by other countries. It would be interesting to see if this model can continue when the global trade balances out. In a way China is subsidizing g

On non-tech setups, such systems are called ERP systems. The its a mature multi-billion dollar market with hundreds of entrenched players. The moment an application like Asana tries to cross that threshold, they get compared to the ERP prod

Thank you! We tried many approaches, but the simplicity of object oriented UI components is classic. Its much more refreshing to read old fashioned object oriented code vs hybrid libraries that seem to be trending these days.

While the context of the question changes and it can be disconcerting the first couple of times, but as you go ahead, you quickly adjust to the fact that the answer can be anything. I found it pretty intuitive. Also my point was that the go

Interesting how this is a great example for on boarding users to a new software, or suck them into completing tougher and tougher tasks. Start with simple questions and tasks and let the user build confidence. Once they answer / comple

So the author was able to beat S&P500 by 10% over a period from June-2016 to June-2017 using this solver. The most important question is whether the same underlying relationships will hold true for 2017-18. This seems like a classic exa

Checkout ERPNext ( https://GitHub.com/frappe/erpnext ). It is based on a metadata framework (Frappe) that lets you build by configuration, so complexity can be handled much better. Frappe also lets you build extensions (

While the focus of this discussion here is on the taxes, I think the bigger story is the unethical behaviour of companies like Intuit. And its not only Intuit, but also companies like SAP [1] that engage in such behaviour at the cost of tax

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Companies like Microsoft, Oracle, CISCO etc routinely lobby (a euphemism for kickbacks in kind) with governments in developing countries to corner big contracts. These governments could invest a fraction

"Outsourcing" covers a wide range of companies based on quality and pricing, so it depends on which end of the spectrum you are. Unfortunately the people who end of migrating to the United States on an H1B do form the cream of dev

Maybe they used AI to style the fonts? Train a neural network on a particular style (thickness, density, curvature) and then write out heuristics to generate new fonts based on other fonts, that get classified by a neural net. Let the bots

I totally agree. As a company, we lost two of our best engineers who emigrated to the US in the past year. And no, it was not because of the pay or working conditions or no equity. People have been sold the "American Dream" to peo

SAAS is a viable revenue model, but it takes a long time to scale. If you are looking at "lifestyle" business, you can still do open source and make make money too. Thats what we do at ERPNext

There still needs to be incentive to lower the cost. For example, to lower costs of clinical trials, companies can invest more in computer simulations and find other ways to reduce those costs. Also this might also force big pharma companie
