This is so absurd - a company that loses $1.27 billion is seen as a market leader. Only in tech is this a possibility. A manufacturing company would be closed for years before they can even achieve such losses.

I guess you must be having a whole different set of problems than me. I also use Redux, have not found time travel to be a boost to my productivity. I choose Redux because of the simplicity around state management, and having it all central

I understand the functionality, but what are actual use cases for a calendar CLI?

1. Intelligent people ask questions. There is no reason to stop after the first week. Connect the dots in the open and people will understand that you're intelligent. "Why do you <technical detail> here?". "Because

It isn't. But, they're assholes, have no understanding of the work that has been done (substantial) and if we quit on them it could have really negative results on their business. Which could lead to legal action.

For those of you that have signed with assholes. If you were able to drop them, how did you do it? I have a client I want to drop, but they're locked in into our development routines and it would probably cost them for us to hand it ov

Do you have any information to support this claim about battery drain? Genuinely interested, not trying to negate what you're saying.

You could go: "Homie, hook a hacka up". As a now-adult-used-to-wear-baggy-pants I'd identify with the target market.

> "That feeling that I am actually the one making this work, and I'm also perfectly capable of talking with people and selling it" The last part of this sentence is what is important. I'm a decent programmer, having b

A week after my son found out Michael Jackson had died. He loves Michael Jackson. - Dad. Is Michael Jackson dead? - Yes... (Unsure if this will cause a meltdown) - That's OK. - It is? - Yep. There's two. Which one is dead? - How

I'd say you have one. If you had one before, you didn't know what really happened when you went `var that = this;` and aired your opinion about how `this` is being stupid. So you got the arrow function, where `this` acts the way y

I have a project that I'm trying to turn into a product. I got it from spotting a new tech in use in a restaurant, and applied it to another market. Fingers crossed, I'll have investment coming in around Christmas.

Press releases are very effective. I've done them professionally and had them lead to articles in all but one of Sweden's large newspapers. Marketers with the skill of finding interesting angles shouldn't have a problem to ge

Tldr; This is what we attend / do to get clients that's not into tech already: - lots of general network events where only C-level staff attend (often paid networks) - side by side with consultants and business developers that hav

My whole business is based on targeting older businesses. We've done some really simple CRUD apps with users for each employee for quite great margins. So much work to be done - just gotta meet enough businesses.

Yes, many more and shorter stride is the way to go. A good way to get into it naturally is joining a trailrunning group. (I'd recommend buying a pair of inov8 for the trails, but that's another topic.) Edit: Anecdotally, I know a

As a business owner, it's much easier for me to have an invoice (for the books) than explaining why I sent money through PayPal. Nothing is impossible, but it's more of a hassle for me to donate. We recently started to go through

Can someone living in the US care to expand on this? "...which is also when many VCs get back from their August vacations (sad but true!)." What is sad here? Being Swede,my initial reaction was "ok, late summer vacation"
