It doesn't always work, but when it does, its better than having to support an explosion of SDK wrappers that all essentially do the same thing (e.g, provide the services you mention)

I could see this being an issue if there were penalties for PI storage violations like there are for PCI. PCI is the main reason to use something like Stripe. Right now, if you store pi and get hacked, you just apologize in a post mortem bl

Looks like the engineers made this decision: "If you consider the amount of information that changes on a daily, or even weekly basis on a site like wework.com, it is actually quite wasteful to have a server process each and every requ

Yeah, this feels like the next step in the arms race. Just use some random URL to post this to, to avoid any regex based ad blockers.

I'm curious about their business model. It seems like they are a good template for other open source platforms, assuming they are generating revenue and/or profitable. Does Elastic generate most of their revenue through hosting,

You are right to be thinking about this now. Once you start on a path, it can be hard to switch (as much based on financial considerations as technical ones) Can you get an internship at a company where the platform appeals more to your in

It's marketed as an "open source Slack clone". I suspect that if you don't know what Slack is, you aren't really the target market (at least for this version)

Selling to schools is possible, but takes a long time and is full of politics. It looks more like an "enterprise" sales ultimately. Many teachers are very excited to try anything that is free, since allocating budget is an arduous

I'm skeptical. If your innovation here is a fixed price, I don't see how you accomplish that other than just eating the cost or secretly limiting your time without notifying your client. Also, product management is probably one of

Won't this method discourage you from working with startups at all? Generally, they offer less cash, longer hours in exchange for more equity. If you value the equity at zero, the rational thing to do is avoid working for a startup at
