1. They should have hired best UX engineers for the design. 2. Hosted the solution in the cloud and called and made sure the host is aware of the upcoming traffic. 3. Rolled out the application in test mode at least a week before so that st

I agree... and I'd be happy to see Tesla really bring innovation in automobile industry not just in electric car segment. But I also fear it being acquired by behemoths like GM or Toyota, that would just kill all the innovation.

I loaded few hundred shares of TSLA in my portfolio only because I love the innovation this company has to offer. I would normally not invest in a company that has high uncertainty like Tesla but something about the company and Elon Musk ma

I tried to do part time to support my startup but ended up working on my part time gig full time in order to meet deliverables and dead lines. I find, its better to 1 thing at a time. In my opinion, It's better to take a hit for year and wo

I guess the conclusion pretty much sums it up. Every db solution has its own advantages and disadvantages. I find many people jump on latest bandwagon and later regret the choice followed by a "Why we moved away from xyz database" post on t

The unfortunate thing is people need to use maps in order for maps to get better. I can already see few locations being corrected. But for now, looks like Apple's got a chicken and egg problem.

Parse is indeed taking up the mobile-backend services by storm. As much as I love to use parse, I don't see why any serious app would stick with them. They are good to get started but eventually I feel apps will move away into their own bac

For me just to see them (the speakers) in person was worth it. It's like being at a concert of your favorite band x 1000. This was the first time I saw them all and I felt emotional and wanting to be one of them. Besides that, the talks the
