I am passionate about startups, entrepreneurship, and fitness.I love to solve problems most of all. I am currently excited about ReactJS, React Native, and AWS.
I interpreted it as required by regulation to support the mentioned languages. However, I would like to understand if this is the case.
The last heavily traffic site I worked on wouldn't perform an A/B test unless they could experiment with tens of thousands of daily active users. The experiments would last 2-3 weeks to gain statistical significance. A page usually had a 70/30 control experiment split.
The challenge is gaining statistically significant data. I think it is easier for an early stage customer to talk to their customers versus go through the time of a split test.
I interpreted it the same way too. It looks like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg wrote those summaries. It is blurring the lines between prototype and product.
I got tired of executive doublespeak. The company made lots of promises during recruitment that never materialized. It has made me super aware of the importance of culture. I haven't found any full-time positions that fit me yet. In the meantime, I am taking a break from corporate life and freelancing.
I find it hard to feel sorry for her. This is what happens when you only live in the moment. Going to grad school out of the country is exciting. However, doing it without any research on your loans was dangerously impulsive. She didn’t state the reasons, but I would guess it was to impress or stay with friends.
I lost all sympathy when we she decided to live in one of the highest cost of living cities in the world. It is a simple choice. Delay satisfaction or live outside your means. She displayed a consistent pattern of living outside her means. Don’t be surprised when you realize that you’re not rich and these actions have consequences.
Congratulations on the launch. Some constructive criticism. Give your website some design love. It doesn't look like a company website. It looks like a side project right now. If I came across this site on my own I wouldn't even think about entering my credit card info.
I hope this doesn't come across as too harsh. I sincerely wish you the best!
I am guessing the pitch went "It is like Uber for code review" /s
Seriously though, I am curious if the quality will remain high as they scale. I wish them luck. I would bet one of the big players acquires them within 1-2 years.
I'm not a lawyer, but that seems like it is open to too much interpretation. I feel like these laws only hurt the little guy. I can't even imagine all of that data that companies pass through third parties, like analytics services. It will be interesting to see how it all shakes out.
Fortunately, I don't have to do deal with it any time soon since I don't do currently do business in the EU.
I am curious about the long-term ramifications of this law. How much work will be required to delete users from backups?
