I am working on Sidequests HQ: SideQuests HQ is a mobile app that turns real life into a series of small, optional quests. The idea came from noticing that most productivity apps optimize for work, and most social media optimizes for consum

What my company does is the following: 1. We schedule payment up front before we do work (retainer), but we do not force payment due to emergency or cash flow issues of companies. 2. After 2 weeks we start charging compounding interest on t

> The customer/user can't tell the difference between a good working app and a poor working app. Come on man, this is the whole reason Duolingo was people's favourite language learning app, or people claim they like iPhone

I find it shocking that a reputable resource such as this is still displaying the size of Greenland or Africa wrong (Mercator projection) in relation to other land masses in its marketing material and documentation, like here. It just bring

I think this article is really true, and I think a consequence is that people are really hungry for thick desires these days but they cannot put a finger on it. They notice themselves not growing, they get the dopamine hit they were looking

This is so nostalgic for me. In 1999, I watched a couple of movies, and I decided I wanted to be a hacker. I watched the movie Hackers, Swordfish and let's not forget The Matrix. These were all influntial to me, I went down a rabbit ho

The idea that criminals are not sophisticated is a weak excuse for this system. Once the government starts mining data from iPhones, criminals will quickly adapt while every law-abiding citizen gets caught in the crossfire. It opens the doo

I think its crazy that we find a discovery like this in our eco-system that we barely understand and the first thing people want to do is mine them for profit. Like the race to profit with the disregard for consequences is mind-blowing

I am surprised people are worried about 1Password getting this money and not caring about their users. How about at least they have money to be alive for the foreseeable future. I am worried about free password managers because they are bro

I find the article disappointing. I would say this article itself is not what it says it is. Its title is written in click-bait fashion in that they are about to reveal something we don't know about blockchain technology and then the f

Actually it is because we are dealing with an factual data point (I), rather than someone using hyperbole by saying something is ONLY used for x. one data point proves that wrong

I have to agree with you, as someone who lived in the US for 10 years and moved back to my home country, I see the influence of Western culture from TV and the internet, but in my absence the local culture also tweaked itself and started ex

There is a bias in this article and that is the context of time. Over time there will be less and less software engineers at the top of this list as software engineering becomes more common field of study. If you look at the people listed,

This is already true. Actually P2P was the primary way of trading crypto in the country till last 2019-2020. So there is already an established P2P market here

I live in Nigeria and this story is not being reported accurately. Back in 2017 the Central Bank asked banks to keep an eye out on people trading crypto and report suspicious activity. At the time there were many multi-level pyramid schemes

Hi, serious question what is Vercel? As a developer, what do I use it for? Back-end as a service? Hosting? Database? from reading their homepage several times and looking at their products I still cant tell... can some explain?

All what your saying makes sense, but OP is just saying look, professionals are looking for a high powered computer in the form factor of an iPad. If you look at it that way Apple can still make their simple tablet but have a Pro version fo

This is a great story thanks for sharing, and I think it can be useful for the poster of screenbreak above. My knee jerk reaction when I saw the product was, wow I can create a book of all the articles I read in 2020 and make it a coffee ta

I found this press release pretty disappointing. It is very weak. This press release is like saying when the documentary about how bad McDonald is for you (Super Size me) came out, McDonald's issues a statement saying, oh but they (fil

I think Facebook is bleeding college age people to Instagram (yes I know it is owned by FB), snapchat and the likes and this is serious ad revenue, if allowed to continue all spells the death of a platform. Form me this is a signal of fear

Ayoayo is a game in the Mancala family in West Africa. I grew up playing it and always thought it was a local game (Nigerian). It is kind of amazing how this game or style of gaming spread all over the world and is part of many cultures. It

I have been working on a lot of side projects actually. The first is a Corona app that I built to dump all my research and frustration when the lockdown first happened. When I realized I could not publish it to the app store I reached out t

I will chip in here. Although I agree with all that you guys have said. Your comments seem to be skewed to a perspective that all companies are being run in U.S.A, Canada, Germany, etc very developed countries where power is constant and ca

What are good headless CMS engines? There are so many flavors and no real community or indication of which ones will survive, is there an open-source equivalent to Wordpress for headless CMS?
