" BI tool so people that don't know SQL can explore data, create/look at dashboards and export data." - We had exactly the same requirement. Use Looker, its expensive but worth it. The requests to our data team has reduced by 90% We are a small startup with 20 employees

> just in a way that is confusing for people who mainly use Github.

As a user I am requesting to merge branch X into branch Y. What Github actually does is merge branch Y into branch W, with insufficient warning to the user. Gitlab users continue to have issues due to this unexpected behavior. I am astounded this problem has not been addressed in a meaningful way, so users dont counter this issue.

It is completely non-intuitive UX which is causing a lot of people issues. Merging branches is the bread and butter of GIT, if you are changing a fundamental primitive (mergers) of how a technology is expected to work, by reversing the direction of the merge request (opposite to the direction provided explicitly by the user) without warning that is a major issue.

Multiple Software Roles | Chicago/Remote | Full Time |

Hey Folks - We are a early stage startup in the logistics space, with paying users and have raised a large seed round. To prove out our product market fit we used php and Laravel. As we move into our growth phase we'll be Shifting our tech stack to nodejs and react. If you are a strong php developer and/or are fimilar with laravel reach out at shiv at newtrul [dot] com.

Re:How Shopify implemented its secure authentication service on Thursday January 16, 2020 @10:54AM (#22065633)
I avoided php and its ecosystem like a plague for the longest time. However the who eco-system has evolved including the language e.g. functional paradigm (closures) and syntactic improvement (arrow functions). When you combine this with a modern web framework like php Laravel it is an absolute pleasure to work with, specifically as a monolithic for rapid application development, which is great for MVPs and ensuring you have product market fit. I am not sure how this translates over time to a micros-services. However if you're starting to writing a new application I would definitely recommend php + laravel for rapid application development. I say this relative to my extensive experience with nodejs express/java spring boot.

>The whole arrow function notation, for example, buys nothing new compared to the old notation of writing "function(....){}" other than appearing to keep up with functional fashion of the times.

Incorrect - The main advantage is fat arrow syntax can keep lexical scope of this current context. Hence you dontneed to implement that=this antipattern

Ask HN: Startup Employee Overhead Cost and Operational Maintenance

Say for example you are a 10 person startup within the US. What is typically the total aggregate employee overhead cost associated with each employee? Also how do you keep on top of the business/operational side which includes local and state taxes and other regulations and procedures that a typical business needs to conduct e.g. (Pay roll).
