Re:Ask HN: What are your tech-related New Year's resolutions? by mindcrime on Monday January 01, 2018 @03:09AM (#16045210)
No "New Year's Resolutions" exactly, but I have a couple of lists to try and whittle down. There's the generic "stuff to learn" list, a "stuff to build" (personal projects, experiments, random stuff I'm interested in, etc.) list, and then product specific TODO lists.

But the closest thing to a traditional "New Year's Resolution" would just be that I'm dedicating this phrase as my mantra for 2018:

"Ship It"

That's it.. just fucking SHIP stuff. 2017 was a good year in terms of getting a lot of stuff almost done, now 2018 is the year to actually ship stuff.

Great!! What is your model for fogbeam. How will you be profitable or earn money as these tools are open source. May I know?

It's two-fold. One, we'll be offering hosted versions of our projects as SaaS applications. For customers who want to deploy on-premise or in a private cloud environment, we'll offer subscriptions - similar to the way Red Hat sell RHEL.
