Out of curiosity, is there any case to be made for attending a tech conference when you are paying out of pocket?

This characterization of Raghuram Rajan is seriously misleading. He has never advocated against manufacturing. He's cautioning that we(I'm Indian) won't be able to replicate China's rate of progress as the conditions in

Yes. Your observation is generally correct. Many people now managing cloud fleets first cut their teeth on an Ubuntu distribution. It should not be surprising that they prefer Debian or Ubuntu on the cloud as well. Redhat enjoyed the same d

So do you face the same problems if you use a landline connection? I live in South India, so obviously my situation is a little different. Generally my internet connection is pretty rock solid reliable.

True. Needlessly expending energy on an idea without having a clear idea of the value is not good.

Seems like a rationalisation for laziness. To be a truly good prospector, you're going really need to understand your domain. To extend the metaphor, good prospectors are also world class geologists and they have invested in hugely sop

Okay. As an MBA, I'll take a shot. First, remember an MBA is a terminal degree. It is usually preceded by other degrees. In my case I have a bachelors in computer engineering and an MS in computer science. Many of my colleagues had PhD

Re investments: Don't be discouraged by lack of investment. Most businesses are bootstrapped. There is absolutely nothing wrong in that. Reading technology news might give you the mistaken idea that all and sundry are VC funded. That i

No. I speak from experience both with being a founder and an employee at startup. Your network is mostly related to how many people of what type you meet at work. You'll make connections at any company not just at a startup. Your foun

You need to actively prune your calendar. Regardless of whether or not you want to interview for a job. If you entire working day is filled with meetings, you will not have the time to actually do good work as manager that only you can do.

One reason why your CEO needs to be technical. I run my own small software shop, and I can sit with my developers and actually see that the code needs refactoring. Indeed, it is often me (the CEO) that actually forces a refactoring sprint o

I do live stream on Twitch. but I have no desire to ever make money on those platforms. Clearly it's not even possible. I started using Twitch share my work day with my team. We weren't doing anything particularly secret, so I did

I got used to amber monitors in the early 90s to this day my default Bash terminal mimics the amber on black look. I love it.

I worked at Amazon from 1998 to 2003. Those were exactly my experiences. Clearly they don't care about the internal development experience and probably never will.

Loved this. Sure it is language pedantry. But proper grammar really does improve comprehension.

It seems like return to normal from pandemic induced purchases. The global PC market's long-term growth should match the rate of computer penetration into emerging economies. And many users won't even feel the need for a PC, given

I've been in this situation in the past. One way I've found very useful to deal with it is to have a project outside of work. It can be anything from a hobby to your own startup. Ironically, having a side project made me more effe

A quick question, what benefits do you think applying to YC will give you at this stage of your company's life? Will it make launching easier? If the difficulty with launching is that you need to get the product to work consistently, a
