Now that YC accepted all 15K companies, it's going to be extremely hard to RSVP for in-person lecture attendance. I tried doing so less than an hour after I received an email with a form to RSVP with no success."Thank you for your interest in attending. Unfortunately we've reached capacity for this event."I understand that this is optional and not required, but with so many companies in, would...
We've already got a few dozens of private teachers signed up, but now it's time to turn to demand side and start bringing clients to them. We're kind of trying different things now with not much success. Any input on the recommended approach is much appreciated!
Otherwise, I like it for its simplicity.
I am Director of Engineering in a small company and I still code a lot. Our CTO codes as well.
I've seen some engineering managers who not only do not have CS degree but never coded and were hired just to manage engineers which I will never understand.
Any feedback is welcome. And hopefully you'll like it so much that you'd want to use it yourself :)
New startup, new twitter account, almost no followers yet. What are the good ways to build the following?
I'm basically looking for some kind of employment agreement template. Anyone has any links where I can find it? This is non-paid position, equity only. I want it to include words about 4 year vesting (with probable dilution if startup gets funded, do I need to mention it?), the responsibilities, hours that we agreed this person would need to work (this is part-time for now) etc. Basically any...
I will need to get someone join me soon who would help me promote my product through social media, blogs etc but I can't pay, so it's going to be equity only. What is the good place to find such people except for craigslist?
1. Hmm I need to consider using username name instead of full name in "newest members" section. I have some doubts about it. Why do you think it's not cool though? At very least I might just add it to user settings page per your suggestion. I just realized that another option would be to have first name and the first letter of the last name.
2. Missing skills - since I just launched it, it's possible that some are missing, therefore I have this feedback tab so users can request them to be added. As far as climbing - I do have hiking, alpinism and mountaineering. I'll probably add rock climbing as a related to mountaineering skill as I've noticed people have been searching it.
3. Unable to request a new skill until you register. Yes, I made it so only registered users can submit feedback and request skills to add so there is less spam. I hear you though, I thought about it already. Also, you can request to add as many skills as you like (once you're registered). In order to register you only need one skill, the other ones you can add later from your profile. I'll figure something out to make sure that unregistered users can request a new skill.
4. Yes, ability to remove (or hide) a skill is in the plan and wasn't a part of Beta.
5. I force to add only 1 skill during sign up so it's simpler and faster to register. Obviously the profile has to have at least one skill. The other ones can be added from user profile later.
6. This is a good one too - tell the users how many people use it in specific area and stuff like that is also on my TO DO list, just not for Beta, especially when I don't have that many users yet. :(
7. Can you please elaborate a little bit more about your sharing suggestion? As of right now, there is a facebook share button on each profile that has a nicely written title and description already when shared.
Thanks again for a great feedback! Lots of things to think about.
