Python can work on desktop, but it's solutions for mobile are iffy at best.

"But Electron is also awful, since a hello world app uses 100mb of RAM." Is it that awful, though? Most computers come with 4-16GB of RAM.

Part of it is also, custom looking UI, not confined to the platform widgets, is not easy to do on many of the desktop platform libraries. It is incredibly easy to do with HTML/CSS.

I disagree with your disagreement, and I don't see why that should have anything to do with not having to follow the law.

Yeah, but in practice, it almost never happens.

"Because, math?" Except you're saying that small businesses should get to ignore that math, and get stuff for free. " That company may have a team of 5 developers, how do you split those 5 developers across 3 8 hour shif

Airbnb has not done anything to make it impossible for you to host.

"Because I'm renting out my personal residence." That's your choice. No one made you. "Why should we lump hotels and my apt into the same bucket? They are different types of businesses" They really aren't.

Hotels don't get any of that. Why should you?

The skillset and risk profile for being an entrepreneur vs being an engineer are completely different.

On the contrary, that's why so many are made.

"Maybe they "should" do one of those, but it seems unrealistic to expect a small 10 - 30 person company to do either." Why? What's so special about a tiny company that they get things for free? What's so hard a

"What if the company will die if the problem isn't handled?" Then they should be paying huge bonuses to be on call, or simply hiring for multiple shifts. It's pretty easy.

No, it really isn't. If you have professionals on your team, they will be able to work together. And once again, most places are using "culture fit" as a way to say, "Not like me", and using it to enable discriminat

They've had plenty of time to fix their problems. They have to have known about the issues for some time now, so them not having a bunch of extra time given to them is nothing to be sad about.

Ok, now it's 23. It's 23 everywhere. You still have to know in what part of the world 23 means nighttime and what part means dinner time and what part means mid morning.

Doubt it. Housing prices are still astronomical, and those that are located up there are going to need salaries that can handle it.

by st3v3r 10y ago
And how do you actually interview for these things? What is the quantifiable test you use to determine it? Cause if you don't have one of those, then yes, "culture fit" is a fool's errand at best, and a tool for discrimi

If you're going to reject people for "culture fit", and not because of any technical deficiency, then I believe you should lose any right to complain about a so-called "shortage of talent".

"Why is it stupid to invest $5k in a startup but not to invest $500k in a startup?" In addition to the $500k buying more information and actual shareholder rights, someone who is investing $500k is likely doing so from a fund, or

"* Earn a profit (not a sin and a good way to make the project sustainable)" It is a sin if you're doing it by replacing a publisher's advertising with your own.

They're only damned if they don't want to pay what people are worth.

You need leverage, but you need a lot of other things, too. Feeling comfortable negotiating, for one. Given that we're an industry that trends toward the introverted side, that may be hard to come by.
835.
by st3v3r 10y ago
Paying one developer more simply because they're better at negotiating isn't fair either. As is, we really don't have good ways of determining one developer is clearly better than another.

So unless we let companies break the law, they won't give us jobs?

"A dangerously close analog to the "nothing to hide"[0] argument." No, it really isn't. The idea that a company that is complying would walk away because those that aren't are gone after is foolish. It's l

I am so sick and tired of this meme that, unless you allow businesses to break the law, you're being 'unfriendly to business.'

"I wonder what it takes (or how many similar failures) for the "market" to balance and finally come up with something sustainable." It already has. As others have pointed out, just about every laundromat and dry cleaners
