Thanks for being so quick :)
Thank you, I am on the chat right now and also sent an email
I understand the good intentions so please remove my first and last name and my personal picture from your website right now.

It would be a wise idea to provide a function to edit or remove those informations before offering this to the public.

Ask HN: Am I the only software engineer unable to build anything?

My company has bought hundreds of 3rd party systems and glued them with bubblegum. I should be thinking how to improve the situation and developing but 90% of the time I am running around the office trying to find who is responsible for what.

Ask HN: How to check the market for your saas product?

I have just finished a small tool that I would like to offer as saas. It is a very simple API that users can use from their terminal through curl/wget.Still I don't have an idea about how to monetize it but I would like it to be in the wild for a while to see if there is any adoption at all.My idea is to just buy a domain, publish the link somewhere it makes sense and wait.Do you have any...
