Poll: Do you actually use the product you are working on?

Re: Poll: Do you actually use the product you are working on?
#142This poll is so social local saas web. I'm building a wafer stepper. That's a machine that's used to make chips and LEDs. We're building the very first one of its kind now. I'm not sure what it'll sell for, but it's not something you typically get together on Kickstarter. I guess I'd be using it if I owned a semicon foundry or something.
Very similar: The product I work on is something that you really only need to use once (unless your genome changes somehow, but that doesn't happen to most people).
However, I use my side project http://www.3dprintingpricecheck.com quite frequently for working on my other side project which involves making 3D-printed geographical models (http://www.printablegeography.com).

#143Here's some recursion for you! My team builds a web app that allows our clients to run their own automated, customizable customer referral program. We use it ourselves, and it has brought us new clients.
So if you like our referral program saas, you can use our referral program saas to refer our referral program saas to anybody else who needs a referral program saas.

#145Earlier quoted context omitted.
You guys never stay after hours and print crazy LEDs just for personal projects? C'mon now.
I hooked up a Xbox 360 controller to our wafer handling robot for fun.
How involved was that? Was the some kind of I/O protocol or were the buttons simply broken out?

Exactly. When I was working for GE Aviation I wasn't flying fighter jets.
Thinking about the larger issue, I think It's actually somewhat rare for professionals to consume their own "product". Lawyers, for example, are often discouraged from doing so.

On the other hand I think that it's rare for someone to build an app that he wouldn't use.

#148I have a subscription club which sends random Japanese sweets twice a month (http://www.candyjapan.com). This means I get to select what is sent to everyone. I cannot just totally go with my own personal taste, as people expect variation instead of getting my own personal favorite shipment after shipment.

#149You bet! We've got a whole duplicate NodePing monitoring stack watching our NodePing monitoring stack.

#150I'm working on a website that sells top-end, hand-made fountain pens at $2,000 apiece. They'd be wasted on me -- lousy handwriting -- but boy do I want one. I'm having to restrain myself from telling you, at length, just how beautiful and desirable they are. I would LOVE to have one of those things in my hand at some kind of ceremonial contract signing. And if someone asked me "Where did you get that pen?" I'd just s…
Just like American Psycho. That was a prescient book.
I don't recall any dog food consumption in American Psycho. But it's a long time since I read it.
