Do I need to pay to see that? It is confusing. Anyway yes calculator apps are a fantastic project: 1. Can be anything from just running a lisp repl and doing (+ 2 2) to a full blown calculation and programming environment like Jupyter! 2. C

What are the inconsistencies? None of these tools will be perfect. They don't have backend access to Google's servers. It is all approximate because the long tail is stuff like "buy kubernetes course discnt cide" But the

I'd say Atlassian is good at least in AU not sure about US. You have to work the 40 but thats it. I do more than 40 because I enjoy but no pressure. Also Team Anywhere and as long as you are there for some meetings it can be flexible a

Back in the day (2000s) if you were a .NET shop it made sense as the providers for anything else were not as good. And probably you are more likely to get those skills over Postgres. And Postgres was a lot more early. These days a I am not

SQL Server and Oracle too but not being open source is a big minus.

You are right and the biggest asset here are executives and management that can: 1. Think 2. Know what is going on. 3. Effectively get the best from their people. You want the whole org to engineer the right solution Any metric that gets ab

> If a competitor launches a feature that all your customers want and start to switch to benefit from it, what are you going to do? I would say this is not that common in SaaS. In that features are important but PMF is key. A feature th

I like this metric. YC doesn't own all of that but that doesn't matter for this exercise. That $458 billion is disjointed. It cannot move as one (when needed) like say Microsoft can. It cannot buy GitHub or OpenAI. But then it wo

I think it massive improves your odds of a unicorn. But a regular old business aiming for a humble $10m valuation based on profits, of course not.

Sure I'd rather have $1m in FAANG shares than SF real estate over 10 years but maybe I am wrong. Especially as SF real estate relies on NIMBYism that might change whereas FAANG relies on an enormous brain trust, branding and monopolies

It needs a culture change. The magic words: "Our customers prefer the product works over getting a new feature, so let's ensure that at any cost" Number of features is a dial. You turn that down. You turn the operations (devo

Taking ownership is very much egoless! You are doing that for the team. Ego would be making sure you got "your" sprint tickets done, did no code reviews, skipped the retro. I think few people do that but they will if Goodhart&#x27

That is what makes it very interesting! I think you have said not interesting when you may have meant explainable. If it is boring, who else does this?

It is legendary. Trying to think is anything else like it? Freemasons? Hells angels? Donald Trump's cabinet?! Does YC do this consistently though. Even they have to choose battles.

I'd love to know who "wins" in a scaled YC vs. the oceanic tide that is the SP500 and it's capital sucking and brain sucking ways. A Google can stop 10000 potential startups simply with RSUs and cap another 10000 by buyi

Commoncog hits a home run again. This is fascinating. It is more Suits than Suits. Showing how strategy > law when fighting a case. But also the interesting fraternity (not all boys of course) that YC is. Feels like the only other place

It can look nice. It is like asking: passive or active voice? It depends what you are writing and what makes sense to the reader. I do like pipelines though!

To understand "do" you need to understand the underlying >>= and return operators for your monad. If you can use >>= and return to do it then "do" is indeed a mechanical transformation. It is like await if yo

I haven't seen the AI content. If I have it is vert convincing! Ocassionaly a HN reply is GPT ... but it is obviously is and gets downvoted. AI coding is useful to me to save typing. If I know what I want and the copilot suggests the s

Sure. Very few elements can be man made in interesting quantites. Matter itself holds an inordinate amount of energy through E=MC2. There is no alchemy that can produce dog poo from hydrogen, for example. There is also no way to break Dogec

Atlassian Rovo is this. The trick is to get people to get their tribal knowledge down in public Slack channels or their docs system. Recording most Zooms with AI summaries may help.

by worksonmymach 2y ago
Hard to avoid some tribal knowledge. To be free of it you need full reference documentation and tutorials for everything you do. And to update it as you go. And to realize what might be missing from a paedagogical perspective. Not easy and
