    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 sociologica…

    This could have been a two-day contest: Flappy Ryan and Flappy Chris. Profit.

    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…

    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 ha…

    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 y…

    +1 In sad/tragic times we often overlook the really important lessons to be learned.

    "I want to be able to compile things from the command-line first and use the IDE to edit the code." You want a text editor, not an IDE.

    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 …

    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 b…

    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 …

    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…

    As posted higher up, the spreadsheet I created and based the application on: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxgh-9Z9zd40ZExtRnYyZVhWU2s... Feature development on the app will be …

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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 sta…

    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.

    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 y…

    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 col…
