I used one such service. It was such a drag. Hated it. Does anyone use it repeatedly with different strangers? I think I’d prefer live streaming to keep myself accountable to one-on-one sessions with both cams on.

There’s an admin page where you can manage the slug and preview (which correspond to the link url and meta description). E.g., if your email subject is “hello world”, your url will be “/hello-world-a1b2c3d.html” and the default preview

You mean bikes? India is usually too hot to cycle. Here’s another statistic which amazed me when I first heard - apparently 70% of working age Mumbaikars (Mumbai-ites?) walk to work. That could be another reason why there are so many people

I’d argue Jaywalking is probably one of biggest reasons traffic in India is so chaotic. People simply walk on the street and it wrecks traffic flow, reducing all flow to stop and go with accompanying honking. I, for one, wish jaywalking wer

I use my email inbox as my cms. Emails (can) have attachments, a subject line, delivery time stamp, and formatted text as content which means that for many use cases, an email is an effective CMS. E.g., blog posts and static pages like &#x2

I’m old enough to remember when Indian terrorists used to call up journalists and editors and demand that they be referred to as militants.

But that reduction in foreign terror attacks happened all over the world. The Mumbai terror attack was followed by similar attacks in Paris where civilians going about their day were targeted. That wave of terror is over, probably because I

I will soon find out if my inbox.for.your.domain-as-a-service has any takers once I seriously start marketing it. If it finds a market, it’s not useless but if it doesn’t, that’s a couple of years of working off and on on the idea down the

No product starts with an elaborate ci/cd pipeline and automated test suite. Many evolve into needing such tooling after having had an incident or two when a deployment broke the site…and the response invariably is that “we should have

This take is too reductionist. Every website ever has a boring unit test called “Is it up?” where you check if the site is still working after a deployment. Boring and repetitive but of infinite value if you can detect early that your deplo

“Serial entrepreneurship” was accomplished. It’s like an achievement level in gaming. Happens when one launches more than one venture one after another. Longevity of venture is not typically a concern to unlock this moniker.
