Re:$4 FPGA board launched by Vicharak in India on Monday October 20, 2025 @01:49PM (#45646875)
I think they have done a tradeoff of affordability for students vs high speed and real task ability.

Electronics Engineering is in pretty bad shape in India,very few colleges in Indias have equipped labs that provide them the required skills, so having a $4 FPGA really helps in understanding it, conducting small experiments will help in developing a insight on how it works.

Vicharak has higher grade offerings as well which you can check that will be more in line with your exepectations, for eg: Axon, https://vicharak.in/axon

Re:How Atlassian aced 0 to 1 growth? on Wednesday November 02, 2022 @05:55AM (#33433413)
Early stage growth is messy and involves a lot of bold moves and guerilla marketing but its so much fun. It might even involve giving free beer to conference attendees to promote their brand.
Re:Ask HN: How can technical folks break into SaaS sales? on Tuesday September 06, 2022 @12:13PM (#32739179)
I was a QA earlier, I switched to Saas Sales.

If youre in early stage startups ( which has a small team generally), Then you can be added on a demo call on mute. But if you want to close deals without changing your role, thats where it gets tricky. All sales guys have monthly/quarterly/yearly 'targets' which they have to meet, based on how much business they brought in decides there 'variable' component (All sales guys have a fixed and variable component in their remuneration).

So if you want to close some deals, the only way to do it is make your salary strucuture change accordingly and communicate this to your CTO and CMO/CRO and HR ofcourse.

No pain, No gain.
