Coaching is still a big part of what we're building, and I think it will be an ongoing option for orgs to have the option to bring in coaches to dive into their leadership and communication issues.

I think the concept is awesome, and I'm excited to see it, but it raises so many questions about how this is going to work. First question that comes to mind is how are you going to handle weather- and not just crazy storms, but heat a

Used Atlas to incorporate and they helped correct mistakes that were made on both ends, was really nice having an actual person to talk to. Also had a deal for reduced fees which made it even sweeter. There were a few UX things that I wish

I use Shpotify to shuffle and play a playlist of eurotrash/techno during especially long builds. Pretty nifty thing you made!

Yeah, noticed my Shopify site was down and it's obnoxious it's the one thing I can't put somewhere else.

I like the new logo and colors, but man the weird thickness, spacing, and kerning of the font is off putting. The rhythm is all wrong so some of the letters look like they're the wrong sized or positioned wrong.

You're pretty spot on with this. I think for startups in general you gotta blend a bit of those two strategies to be successful too. You gotta build a nice landing page to convince people you're serious to get some of those early

I fall on the idea person end of the spectrum more than the work-horse end, and when someone comes talking about big ideas without some baseline plan, hypothesis, or validation I zone out too. I get so frustrated with people who spend 4

I feel like this article kinda confuses "idea people" and "people with an idea." Idea people should know how to prove an idea. I've had a lot of similar hairbrained ideas come my way looking to build an MVP for so

Kinda interesting to think about how this fits in the market. Is some warehouse/manufacturing consultant using this or is it supposed to be for a small manufacturer to DIY their way to building the machines they need?

This is kinda an analog for doing the uncomfortable thing. There's a certain amount of security in doing what's comfortable, and if you can find happiness in that I think that's great. It's all relative. I think it'

The 480nm number is really impressive at this size. Especially at 5000rpm with the 4-1. Compared to a ICE motor that weighs ~200kg, you effectively free-up 40kwh~80kwh (80 if you believe the 400w/hr claim that Tesla makes) of battery c

Your preparation should depend on what kind of time horizon you're dealing with. Long term horizon? Be aggressive. Short term? Be conservative. Trying to time the market typically results in smaller gains (larger losses) than just goin

The only way they would've made this deadline would've been to delete all of their posts. I'm not upset in the slightest about them being gone, but I can kind of see the argument about how the app store is deciding how some

Clearly a big deal and congressional IT staff are going to have a crazy few weeks ahead of them. However, my understanding is that any classified information would have to be in a SCIF. I assume that would be the case with congresspeople as

Repeating what a few others here have said, but k6 has been a really easy tool to use, with great open source tools, and a managed service with pretty competitive pricing. Creating "real world traffic" is a little more tricky, but

For scale prototypes, it's great. I have a 3D printed 1/100 scale sailboat hull on my desk right now. However, you aren't going to beat building hulls out of fiberglass. With a large CNC, foam/starboard/coosa, and a

That's neat, but I'm not sure I learned about graph theory. I liked playing with it but the background was a bit too much for my eyes.

I don't know what the business decision was to hire outside contractors, however it resulted in the layoff of 62 workers. TVA hasn't hired an H1B employee since 2008. But if they needed to hire for a role where H1Bs were required

It has been revenue positive for decades, and the rates are cheaper than the private alternative.

I completely agree, but castrating the Authority's ability to run the business, and stay profitable will do more harm than using contractors. Looking at Trump's firing as anything more as a step in the direction of privatizing the

The H1-B hires (all 10 of them) and the outsourcing to US-based, but foreign owned, contractors are two different issues.

While getting some US developers back on the job might be a good thing, taking steps to dismantle a government chartered public utility is not. This isn't about the 10 H1-B visas, this is low hanging political fruit that Trump will use
