I wonder just how long this discussion is going to go on. To me looking at who has jobs in tech broken down by gender is flawed from the beginning. The more interesting sociological question is whether there is a nurture thing happening her

To turn this the other direction, here's some perspective from a startup exec. This job requires constant compromise between doing what's right for the business, the investors, and the employees of the company. In my management ex

Which ecosystems? And if you work in those as well then why are you bothering with an ecosystem that has "several orders of magnitude more crap"? .01% is a small number - so you have 3,000-4,000 problems with the CLR and .NET fram

Hmmm... I guess since you don't use a public profile pic or take selfies this is a bad product idea. Or maybe, just maybe most people don't really care. Maybe your point was that you won't use this particular product? Are you

Ironic language given that most "engineers" today can't write code without dependency on built in garbage collectors. Do you really think developers these days are just as good at optimizing for limited system resources as th

True. Hibernate isn't really the issue - more the existence of Hibernate sometimes creating lazy engineering. I guess I'm old school - my preference (even with simple CRUD) is to build the queries myself if nothing else to avoid o

This is why heavy ORM's like Hibernate are only good for the most simplistic (and tiny data) use cases. Every situation I've been in where queries can't be optimized appropriately for specific use cases like this involve engi

All good points. Sharing models without emailing spreadsheets around (now you have your version and I have mine) has probably been the best thing I've gotten out of it so far. I've already had a few people email me links to their

This was the worksheet I created (and have been using for a few months). I believe funded.io is at feature parity with this simplified model - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxgh-9Z9zd40ZExtRnYyZVhWU2s...

A few things I was thinking: - Spreadsheets are prone to fat-fingering and messing up formulas. For example, if you built a spreadsheet with three product SKU's and wanted to add a fourth, it's not so easy. Especially if you have

by bottompair 13y ago
True, for lower priced products the SKU slider is limited. I struggled with this on my Excel worksheets as well. In mid-market SaaS ($200-$1500 MRR range) growth tends to slow down the higher the price goes. In addition, growth increases ov

Yep, planning to keep rolling with it if there's interest. I mentioned this in previous responses, but the data is actually being saved. The unique Url generated when you first start will get you back to the settings for the model you&

by bottompair 13y ago
If you have an example worksheet I'd love to see it. I've spent my last 7 years in B2B SaaS so have plenty of the tiered SKU models for reference.

by bottompair 13y ago
The data is actually being persisted (MongoDB). Notice a unique Url is created when you click through the initial landing page. If you save that Url somewhere and come back to it your data will be there. Thanks for taking some time on it -

Totally with you. Would love to build out several different cost/revenue models including one completely based on web site visits and paid customer conversion rate. Sprinkle in some correlation with marketing spend and you've got

Hadn't thought about open-sourcing the project yet. Initially just something to remove the pain I was feeling in my current role. It allows me to share models with founders and collaborate as well. Data is persisted (MongoDB) and the u

Plan to do this eventually. However, this fundamentally doesn't solve the core problem (for me at least). Versioning nightmares happen when you've got one model that you customized to have three products and your new model has fou

Great suggestions. This initial pass was meant to solve one specific use case I happened to have, but I'd love to add more modeling capabilities. The addition of one-time costs or revenue based on customer acquisition is important and
