Thinking about it. Might build my own tool.

Depends. As a Hiring Manager, I love cover letters but only if it is not a generic copy paste. Don't get me wrong. I don't mind a Cover letter that may have some generic stuff about you but you must add something specific about th

Not yet. It has been a week and I have 500+ resumes sitting in the inbox. Not fun.

Nice. But as a hiring manager, this is the last thing we want. Flooded with auto submitted Resumes. I posted a job recently and got 100+ resumes in 2 days and 99% were not even remotely close to being a good fit. I struggled to sort through

Look for very small companies/IT shops/Agencies (<20 people) and talk to the founder(s) directly. Make a case and if you truly are someone who can build things, those small companies will hire you if you can do the job well and

"charge a straight up fee, 500k upon approval." There is already a work visa for that called EB5 even though the requirement is $1M (800K for rural areas) and you will need to hire 10 American workers. Plenty of rich people from o

I would love to do this. However, if you are building a heavily interactive application, wouldn't it be easier to manage with a framework instead of jquery ? Wouldn't you want to manipulate DOM more easily than with jquery ? Unles

I would argue that people already dread going to the doctor because you still have to deal with all the insurance garbage. Remember that even with a copay, you still could get a bill after the visit depending on deductible.

My solution to this mess: - Health "Insurance" middleman mafia should not be the default b/w me and my doctor - Health Insurance should only exisit for Catastrophic events (big surgery, cancer etc) - Get rid of the regular Pr

The point is to talk to your potential market/customers before you build it. You can do many things though even if you have 0 audience today: - Setup a Landing Page and collect Emails on a waitlist - Blog Posts on relevant keywords&#x2

Funny. For me, it is horrible user experience. Don't decide for me. Let me read what's already on screen. I hate scroll jacking of any type.

Exactly. I think this is a brilliant strategy by YC. They know that some ideas have great potential. They just back multiple teams and hope that one of them will win with their execution.

Visual part is nice and Landing page and slick. However, I am not trolling but what happens when NextJS is no longer the hot commodity that it is today. I would prefer a Visual CMS that lets me do all this but the output should always be st

Thanks. HVAC space is huge and as a home owner who literally just paid $1000 to replace a control board, I know how critical that market is. Will check it out.

Inspiring story. TL;DR: Built a legal tech for students, tried selling for a while, didnt get a lot of traction and then ultimately sold the project to someone else. I think you did a lot of things the right way but probably went after a to

My first question is "How is the business doing after 11 years and where is it headed in terms of current growth, customers, founder(s) vision etc". If the answer is negative, then the technical improvements won't matter much

As someone who has used WP for a long time and still uses some of it, I would stay away if possible. I don't trust the WP dude and his bizarre behavior lately. Things could get worse. It may not impact little guys like me but I wouldn&

really really miss Notepad and Notepad++ on macs. No text editor comes close to these.

No worries. I am going to test it as we are looking for a simple centralized tool for multiple customers to run reporting on events. Most tools have been too complex to setup and yours is promising.

Since Nadella took over, Microsoft stock has gone up from $30 to $400 with a market value of over $3T. Satya understood that for MS to compete, they have to get out of the "Windows Only" mentality. For example, .NET Core was a hug

"No serious software company would ever look at php for their new project." Why? Do you know that for a fact ? You will be surprised what people are doing with PHP in 2024 if you just look outside your echo chamber.

SSO has various levels. You can do a "Login/Signup with Google" using any of the popular frameworks in a day or so. On the other hand, if you need to do full Enterprise level SSO (SAML, Audits, SCIM etc etc), you have more wo

Mullenweg just keeps digging. He is the only person I have ever seen interacting in such a petty manner that he made a company backed by Private Equity look like a victim. If Trademark was the issue, why did it take him over a decade ? Why
