The short answer is it depends.

Insights you may gain at YC may help you either pivot or improve the current SaaS you have either from an offering or operational perspective.

Most importantly folow your gut feeling because that's what got you to $8.5k MRR. If there is even a 5% chance to improve your product or increase your revenue or both, you should take it. Define your success metric and proceed accordingly.

Hope this helps you :)

@jordanmorgan10 awesome .. great work.. The website looks real nice .

Looks interesting !!!

UI looks clean and sleek. The info on global reach page is a bit confusing for me. Wasn't able to determine , if those are the countries where SuperPay is supported ( as in a business can use SuperPay as a customer ) ?

Mine says : Firefox Developer Edition 67.0b16 (64-bit). No fix yet there...

- Raise this issue with the people who decide the pools and pay . The team did everything possible , if not addressed properly , one should not expect them to go above and beyond the norm.

- Communicating to the team that you tried, is not good enough, because that is the least that is expected of you as the mananger ( if sounds rude, i am sorry , not the intention).

Potential Solution :

Making a case to the higher ups , showing them that retaining the great team is cheaper than hiring some one else over a period of 2 to 5 years would be helpful. Show them the impact on delivery of features,etc.

if this did not work, ask why so that , it does not repeat again or you can set expectations saying , this is what you get for what you are paying.

I am assuming , there is no equity involved in these discussions. Equity will change the whole dynamics of this discussion.

Potential Solution # 2:

The rewards need not always be monetary. If you can replace that , with something they want , say sponsoring their Apple WWDC trip or DisneyLand tickets or something , in a way that is not a HR nightmare, would be something to explore. That being said, it is tricky and will not work always.

Cheers.

I like this year's Developer Survey better.

Me too

Sounds good. Build it for 10 Users . All the best

Nice first project with go. the project made wanna learn go :).

Used this repo for reference : https://github.com/actions-on-google/actions-on-google-nodej... + Google Developer Codelab for DialogFlow

I have a built a Gooogle Assistant Bot to get me the times of the DOTA2 matches for the teams I follow. Data Collections is still manual, trying to automate it.

Stack : FirebaseDB , DialogFlow & Google Cloud Functions

ToDo : Change from FirebaseDB to Firebase Cloud Firestore

One of the reasons, may be how the work reciprocation laws work with UK & Australia

@harator : Thanks for posting this link here. I would have never found it on my own.

yep. Most of the sites are heavy because of tracking & user analytics part of which make make a huge chunk of the data download( pixel tracking , etc.)

I do think that any attempt to provide access which is limited & curated should be shouted down , because it is totally disastrous in the long term. There are other business models which are currently in play , which can be considered, such as

- Aircel has free access at a speed of 64kbps (very slow) but still the user has access to the entirety of the internet , not a walled garden.

- There is a different model, where user view an ad on a per day basis and get a certain data limit in return. Mozilla has implemented this. This gives access to entirety of the internet.

AWS & Ansible..

I think the question is incomplete(at least I think so).

Its not about automating the UI tests for regression testing,but to ensure that regression testing is effective.Most of the times,this is driven through the UI, which could be flaky.

As the test pyramid paradigm states , having a lot of UI tests, depending on the functionality & complexity could be an anti pattern. Essentially , a lot of the functionality can be tested using by writing unit tests & integration tests and the end to end business use cases should be automated through the UI just to ensure it works.

If it is possible to drive the state of the application using an API or URL, to the target state and then we assert elements to check the UI.

This enables faster feedback and is less flaky.This is how we approached testing in our team.Depending on the objective , we would use Selenium ,JUNit , Cucumber or corresponding ones in a given programming language.

Learn a new language and take care of your health.This would be a good time to evaluate your financial well being too.You could volunteer too.You would be able view the same things from a very different perspective.
