got it, thanks. so based on this context and some other comments, it seems like the potential crime isn't so much that they use these sources to algorithmically suggest a price or …

genuine question here, apologies if i missed it in the article, but what's RealPage's crime in this? how is using an algorithm to set prices on apartments more criminal than using …

> Hiring for a particular tool-chain or framework Anecdata, but it wasn't helpful for my company to remove this boundary. I bought into the idea based on some other articles and th…

I can dig this. That said, if a mechanic says “if you don’t get this repair your tailpipe is gonna fall off” and you say “nah let’s risk it”, you’re not gonna go back to him when i…

I gotcha. I guess the confusion from my end is that I’ve yet to have a software development job where I wasn’t developing a product. No one in the orgs I’ve been a part of refer to…

"us" = development team "them" = stakeholders/product owner/project managers/managers/ux designers/etc.

this isn't the point of the article which is, in my opinion, a very good narrative of what its like to try to practice agile development in an organization with not very agile tend…

I echo this as well. Would be very nice to have Crashlytics for web.

> Research the concept of "Death Prices". Google doesn't come up with anything on this one, is there a different term for the same thing?

Channing, thanks for sharing this. I hope it’s an inspiration for some other entrepreneurs out there!

I see what you’re saying and I agree. But to continue down this path one last time, I still think what you’re saying meshes with my original point. If you’re big enough for Faceboo…

Okay sure, they could “afford” it, but that doesn’t mean they would want to. And if there’s even a feeling on the legal team that some day it might be an issue, why not just use wh…

I’d agree if Airbnb were the only large company using React, but they’re not. They were just the company I chose to mention. There’s also Twitter who just went all in building Twit…

I don’t know if this really answers my question. You have to assume Airbnb, for example, has a legal presence that is very involved in tech decisions and how they might hurt the bu…

I think this is exactly what I am saying. There are companies using React that are much larger than anyone who is worried about this, and they don’t seem phased by it. That has to …

Serious question. React has been around for a while. Companies like Airbnb and Wix, for example, have been using React for a while. If Facebook were going to leverage this the way …

I guess probably just fundamentally different experiences. We couldn’t have afforded to put any more time into optimizing for mobile, but most users I talked to didn’t even care to…

Here's what I've realized lately. Our product is for teachers (K-6 mostly) who tend to not be very techy. They use phones, tablets, etc. to the extent that they need to. We spent T…

> JavaScript used to do this, and we fixed it by encapsulating everything in modules and using tools like webpack to stitch everything together. We've done the same with CSS, and C…

Hey everybody! One of the creators here. This idea came from a pain point I felt when I was trying to become better at selling my main project. I was trying to learn to become a be…
