Yep! Plenty! This post is showing off a specific mobile demo creator tool that can be used independently from our original product.

CTO and Co-Founder
Writer of the article here and one of the co-founders of HowdyGo. Happy to answer any questions you might have!
Was just using it to compare two massive json files, super performant and useful compared to using jq
Previously have used https://github.com/pdf2htmlEX/pdf2htmlEX to convert PDF to HTML at scale, could potentially try and parse the output html to markdown as second stage.
Agree regarding the details - I'm guessing unrelated given the indictment was over a year before the collapse "On Jan. 13, 2022, a federal grand jury indicted Gad"
Agree with this totally, additionally if you are unsure if you will proceed with an idea with no users, getting something done and receiving feedback as fast as possible is better than doing it perfectly the first time.
That said at my last company after 12 months we hired a few engineers so we had to transition to requiring tests for new functionality. This was just to stop regressions and make sure we could continue moving quickly.
Last company, no tests for the first 6 months. Current company after 2 months, have some unit tests for complicated parts in place, will start writing tests once bugs are resolved.
I guess it really depends on what your company is doing, experience of the team and the language/tech you are using.
We aren't a video as we are recording the DOM directly so can still interact with the UI as well as perform replacements/updates quite easily.
Co-Founder of HowdyGo here, happy to discuss any questions people might have about the product or how we built it!

Amazing set of speakers and pretty timeless advice for starting a startup
Co-founder of HowdyGo here, would love any feedback people might have.
I built HowdyGo because at a former company I founded, we had a small addressable market, high-value leads, and unfortunately very long sales cycles.
Our customers needed time to build trust in the product we offered and that meant it was a necessity to have actual conversations with them, not text chats.
Have a chat with me or my co-founder here or by heading to the link and clicking on the widget!
Similar background to yourself as an engineer, not in sales but as a co-founder often find the sales process a big part of my job.
We've implemented Strategic Selling see https://www.amazon.com.au/New-Strategic-Selling-Successful-C... which provides a great structure for us and a unified language inside our organisation.
Maybe not as useful if you're just trying to get started but does provide a structure to understand the sales process and why a sale closes or doesn't close.

I found this article very useful to resolve connections moving to xhr polling on our Node.js 10.16 server https://medium.com/@k1d_bl4ck/a-quick-story-about-node-js-so...
Yep - title should've had [2015], my bad!

Nice to see something new going on in EdTech space! I'm the CTO of bibliotech.education, a subscription textbook company and happy to have a chat regarding collaboration or contacts in either the US or Europe.
Thanks for this - Stylish add-on for chrome also works nicely too!
For me it wasn't actually a repo but doing a lot of https://www.codewars.com challenges until I was proficient enough in js to pass the technical interviews
For this sort of work I found using a lambda function with a trigger on s3 upload works very well, aws-lambda-image seems like a popular project to use instead of writing your own code https://github.com/ysugimoto/aws-lambda-image
Just downloaded and will investigate - thanks!
We didn't select MySQL on the basis of having SequelPro obviously, that would be insane. However if you are still using MySQL and want to switch over to PostgreSQL (like us) a major reason not to be not having SequelPro. Most other factors about PostgreSQL are better but just not enough for the effort to migrate to be worthwhile.
Agreed, Sequel Pro is far above anything I've seen in Postgres and is the primary reason we are still using MySQL in production - business team just love Sequel Pro too much
Medium, Imgur, Yahoo Webmail & Docker Registry Hub!
Getting the same error on the GUI but the aws cli and sdk seem to be working fine (our site is still up too)
Very useful tool, will definitely send people who want a new computer here as their first stop. Unfortunately the website doesn't open very nicely in Safari - seems fine in Chrome though
