I want to open source a repo, but the repo has a lot of docs that were generated in the process over months - specs, milestones, project planning, etc.I am ok open sourcing it, but it seems a bit unnecessary - what is the standard practice for this?
Looking at Techmeme, it looks like a simple product. Very well done, yes. It looks like they spend a lot of time curating the news, no doubt assisted by software. But still, a simple product with low barrier of entry.Why then is there close to zero competition? I don't see any site coming even close to their product.I have a sense that I am missing something. Is this business harder than it looks?
Folks, watch out for yourself.In 2016, I got a job offer from Yahoo. The Manager pulls me on a call because he senses that I like a competing offer more - from Google. He also brings his Director on the call.So this Director smooth talks me about how Yahoo is the next big thing and Google is overvalued. He is just adamant about this, and claims that he had a job offer from Google too, but he...
This is something I’ve been grappling for a while as a software engineer. I used to be very high energy, but after joining a software engineering team at a large company, I felt a lot of peer pressure to be queit and not expressive. To be expressive seemed like an instant ticket to being respected less. So I became queit and yes people started respecting me, 180 degrees turn. I noticed the same...
I am trying to build a web app with logins. Where should I store those emails. Assuming I store it in a DB, how to sync it to Mailchimp for sending emails to customers? Do I just have to write scripts for this?

I want to support small devshops and bootstrapped companies doing quality work.What are some good indie alternatives to software you have used?I’ll start - I like Fathom analytics - a privacy focused alternative to Google analytics.
I’ve come across several products that automatically convert Figma designs into code. From what I see, they do a good job of generating React components and CSS from Figma designs.It seems to be that these should be the standard way to make frontends, but it is not. Why is that? Am I missing something?Example: Anima.app
I'm studying how developers and designers can work together. I am curious about what sources of friction developers see with the other side (and vice versa).One problem I am seeing is the developer handoff. Often designers give developers a Figma file, which is constantly changing, so developers are not sure when a design is finalized.What other issues do you face in your team?
Greenhouse and Lever are good but are there any open source alternatives? I need one for my company but I don't want to spend the exorbitant amount and I want some customizations.The existing options don't seem anywhere as good as existing closed-source software.

For the most part we still use bootstrap templates in code. Why is there nothing visual, like a WYSIWYG editor?
I am currently code bootstrap sites myself, but it feels like a lot of redundant work. Is there a good visual editor I can use to create websites in Bootstrap or other CSS frameworks like Bulma?
Hi HN members,I've been facing this problem recently. As a startup founder, I am managing a lot of Google Sheets. I want to hire a developer to convert it to custom websites but I couldn't find a place I could get it designed.I decided to solve it myself. I tried this out with one company and they were quite happy with the solution. So I'm opening it up to everyone.I'd love to see if anyone...
I've been a backend developer for a while. My team has been sending me frontend PRs lately. I find it hard to see visual changes before and after a PR request. This is for UI changes, not for logic changes. Is there any tool that can make this smoother?
I want to start a teaching business. I'm struggling to find good open-source software on which I can start building my platform. The state-of-the-art seems to be Moodle or Canvas which are designed for universities - they use archaic UI and features.Is there something where I can host an online course, also have live classes and perhaps add on features like a community for students,...
However, look at the following:
“She’s the first woman from her family who makes her own money.”
To her, that might be an amazing success. Getting out of your default path and making it on your own is a big thing. Why do we need to emphasize that she can’t afford to eat at a Zomato restaurant? Is that a minimum bar for life being good?
I agree with your point that they do have a lack of freedom and a lot of societal issues. Also basic facilities. Those should obviously be called out and kudos to the journalists for this.
I’m mainly commenting on the author’s choice of contrasting it with luxury brands:
> “I don’t really want any expensive gifts, or to go to big restaurants. These things are superficial,” said Anuradha, who said she likes watching romance movies and is a big Shah Rukh Khan fan.
Kudos to her, she doesn’t consider those important, then why does the author keep calling out luxuries she doesn’t have? Malls, expensive restaurants, Zomato, Tinder.
Sadly in Indian soceity, these luxury items are given too much importance in determining your “class”. In the US (and many less rich countries), take a look at articles on poverty. They focus on problems and solutions, not on brands they can’t afford.
He/she is writing from a point of view of superiority - “look, this is what they’re lacking, they can’t afford a Rs.8000 dinner”. To a billionaire, my software engineer life will look miserable - “They have to go eat at Panera and Olive Garden. For their employer, a nice dineout costs $5000.”
Can we stop looking down on people because they cannot afford what’s normal for us? I agree about the freedom and social parts here, so let’s focus on that. Most of the article seems to be written to evoke shock and awe from a middle-class person - look what they can’t afford! Lets focus on their social struggles instead of what they can or cannot afford.
