I am interested in understanding how would a solo tech founder hire the initial sales, marketing, operations, cyber security and DevOps team members?Assuming that I don't know anything about or have zero experience in the skill-sets I am hiring for, how does one start? What questions to ask, what to look for and where to look for the talent?
Recently I came across some data from the UK government on how many people use IE11 to access their services. The figure is around 350K. That is quite a sizeable number. The data, if I recall correctly, was from 2022.So, I was wondering, how many of you still support IE11; and how many of your users, in absolute numbers, access your app using IE11, and what is the percentage of that user base...
A random number generator uses a seed value. The larger the seed value domain, the more unpredictable the "randomness" of the generator. The "randomness" of a generator with finite domain(even if it derives new seed values from old values) ultimately becomes predictable and hence useless.The "AI" systems, as currently designed, could face a similar problem as a random number generator with...
One of the things early-stage solopreneurs grapple with is the storage cost. And one major factor to increase storage cost is the database size.So, as a solopreneur, what are your strategies to keep your app's database size as low as possible?
We come across some web frameworks and technologies that we think will succeed, but they wither away as time passes by and don't succeed to the level we expected.Which web frameworks and or technologies did you come across that you thought would succeed but did not as per your expectations?For example, I thought that Opa Lang[0] and UrWeb[1] would succeed but did not, even though the ideas were...
Say, I have a webapp and I decide to charge customers per month for using this app. I base my price on infrastructure cost, operations cost, labour cost, profit etc.That price goes up as per the rise in the costs and profit margin. But there is also something that incurs cost for the app developer, and that is data retention cost. For example, say, a customer generates 5gb of data each month....
Say you have built a product or about to build a product. And you have identified some prospective customers. Now you want to connect with them, via email, phone or in-person. So what is the base template you use to communicate via various channels like email, phone etc. Of course you will customise it for each prospect, but you will be starting from some base template that will be customised...

I skimmed through Nim website and some code snippets, and see very exciting features such as macro support, pythonic syntax, transpiles to C/C++/JavaScript, no VM, systems programming language, suitable for hard real-time systems etc. So why has it not caught on as wild fire like Rust?Also, what is its FFI story? How easy it is to interop with C++ and JavaScript?
Please could you recommend to a novice web developer a web UI framework for web browsers without JavaScript support?
I heard this book recommendation on NYT podcast with guest Fareed Zakaria. He said that the book investigates how imagined communities are formed around religion, nationalism etc. Sounds very interesting topic. Has anyone read this book, is it good?
Seriously, I can understand scamming industry presence in India, but hacking industry, if at all present will be very nascent.
Edit: In the title it suggests "confession", but it most likely was bragging :)

Fuzzy Logic was a very talked about field few decades ago. What is the state of that field of research? Is it still being persued or are there applications of it already implemented commercially?
One day they received an email from Lucas Arts objecting to the use of the name JEDI :)
The startup had to change its name.
A government is far bigger and complex than any big company. So there will be more slowdown compared to big companies.
One example of successful public-private partnership is India's "Digital India" initiative where the government was able to churn out platforms like Aadhaar, Unified Payment Interface and RuPay, with other platforms on the way for digital commerce for MSMEs.
As a solo developer just starting a simple web app project, what data should I capture for Audit, Security and Analysis? And how do I capture and store this data? I was thinking of storing the data in a database, but the size of the database increases substantially and it becomes very expensive quickly.What is your approach to store audit, securit and analysis related data without increasing...
What web frontend frameworks/libraries are available that fallbacks to server-side rendering if JavaScript is unavailable on the client-side?I can think of Unpoly, but are there any other options available?
That is the reason more people find programming enjoyable but struggle with mathematical proof writing.
When learning a topic, do you learn it by heart, or do you index the information in your head to retrieve it later from the source as and when required? Which of these two methods is efficient, and why?
Why is there no discussion on users losing their private keys? Ask all those cryptocurrency users who lost their private keys. Now don't tell that there are crypto wallets/vaults that manage private keys; there are many ways key can be lost even when using wallets/vaults.
We engineers live in a different world, disconnected from the regular users who have no clue what public-private keys are!
