Re:Frameworks Don't Make Much Sense on Friday March 11, 2016 @03:55AM (#11265509)
if your codebase is already very large to the point that refactoring/rewriting can take ages, then I agree with not using framework from 3rd party

however, for starter pack, it's best to use a existing good framework. There's always a learning curve in whatever you do, but at least framework help you speed up your development.

To be honest, it's not attractive enough. I gain more by working in corporate world

Re:Selling 80% equity on Sunday January 03, 2016 @07:14PM (#10833292)
Most likely yes. It would seems unfair for us not to get paid for working
Re:Selling 80% equity on Sunday January 03, 2016 @10:16AM (#10830844)
We will be locked in if we were to take the 80%. So even if there's full exit, we are still required to work inside or can't proceed a startup straight after that.
Re:Selling 80% equity on Sunday January 03, 2016 @10:15AM (#10830836)
I want to add on that my partner is right in the sense that having 20% but able to expand to overseas might be much more than having 70% locally. However I still feel that we should start our steps small then proceed forward.

Selling 80% equity

So we met this middle man from china, who say there's investor interested in investing in us for 80% of our shares. In return he will give us 400k. We have another option, which is 150k for 30% of our company shares. We now own 100% of the shares completely, so we are deciding on which one to take. Our country is not based in US, but rather a small country, which has a small customer base. Due...

Re:Indonesia is burning. So why is the world looking away? on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @08:14AM (#10499280)
being a singaporean, i have to sadly agree with you on the points.

it's quite bad enough that they keep claiming that they're using the best technology when in fact, they just typically bought it from somewhere else.

It has a quite a bad propaganda which you guys can't even tell from it unless you really think deep about it.

Cars here are so expensive also. On top of that, you need to pay more to "own" the car. For some cars, that cert cost even more than the car itself. Not only that, we have road tax, erp, parking fee, etc, etc whatnot.

Income inequality is quite prominent, even though they claim that they have high GDP. Of course you can say your country has it worst...but hell, you wouldn't claim your country has no beggar if there's someone in the streets picking up cardboard and begging for money, would you?

last but not the least, the population is so dam high and i think like...40% are foreigners? I can't tell who are foreigners anymore.

There are more things that I can think of, but I just end it here in case I get arrested for saying "wrong" things

Re:Goodbye, Native Mobile Apps on Thursday September 24, 2015 @10:36PM (#10276094)
>Websites also can't spam you with push notifications the way installed apps can, so I strongly prefer them as a user. But I suspect this is one reason companies like apps

poorly maintained or non-efficient backend that didn't take note of whether the user receive a push or not leads to this problem. It's not the app problem itself totall

will this be the next docker in the nosql database?
