In my opinion, it’s good to make these mistakes earlier rather than later on. You got the scars early enough to think there must be a better way, as opposed to starting with the “old school way” and then thinking that AWS/GCP would make it easier.
For the file system, the OS could do something similar to what iOS is doing when you want to share a picture - giving the user control over which pictures the app has access to. Yeah, for a gallery app it could render the app quite useless because of the UX, but it would solve the issue itself IMO.
Not a startup founder nor do I really have much knowledge in dealing with equity, but assuming that 51% of the equity remains with OP, couldn’t they give the spouse “equity without executive power”? I know I’ve heard of that concept somewhere but can’t remember exactly where from.
Might “Theone” perhaps be a better one to use? Still stays somewhat true to the pronunciation of Devin, but with an emphasis on being The One that might actually work /s
I would think that there’s definitely VC money in making your customers happy. What makes them happy might be different, but I believe the sentiment still remains
Wouldn’t that incentivize more intricate methods for large corporations to pay larger income? I understand what he’s going for, but I personally think that such a tax law might cause unintended consequences and perverse incentives
Today I learned. I always thought it was some “electricity magic thing” like additional heat generated within the power strips causing issues between the connected devices, but this makes a lot more sense than whatever I was thinking of.
Although I do think I might have mixed some things up between regular power strips and those outdoors/industrial ones with a long (double/triple digit meter) rollable cable which my dad was a big user of back when he used to work in construction. Basically back when I was little he used to tell me never to plug power tools into a rolled-up “power wheel”, and I think that when I was later heard you shouldn’t daisy chain power strips I must have made that (wrong) connection.
I would actually think that monorepos suck with Github and others like that. Looking at the Linux kernel for example, that seems to me like a well executed monorepo outside of Github. From what I’ve heard and read, they specifically use Git and mailing lists instead of Github or others because Github wouldn’t work for what Linux is (aside from as a mirror).
There might very well be some context I’m missing, but that’s what I understand from that side at least.
Is it just me that think that’s a huge catch-22? The project isn’t eligible for grants because it gets money on the free market, but is then limited by who it can come from or in what amount
Once SMS itself becomes a more modern way of communicating. Currently every 160 (IIRC) characters costs, sending images (and god forbid videos) is barely worth it, not to mention the lack of security. Comparing to food, I would say this is as good as saying “Why not just buy a bag of chips instead of cooking a meal”
