Some of the pandemic increase in time worked may have been a net benefit to the folks working. A lot of people I know spent at least some of the time they otherwise would have spent commuting working remotely. And, since commuting sucks, ended up happier for it. Anecdotes aren’t data, but this pattern was very common among people I know.

dev360, the use cases we are thinking about are ones where you want to stand up a web app so that your users can interact with your IoT devices. For those kinds of CRUD web apps, Rails is pretty good we think.

What use cases do you have in mind where the cheap concurrency would be particularly helpful?

subrat_rout, sure! Shoot me an email: mac -at- apiotics.com to talk about what you're looking for?

Would very much like to get your further thoughts on this. didn't see a way to reach you in your bio. I am at mac - at - apiotics.com

On the custom feature side, there are two options. We think most web developers will be most comfortable implementing custom logic in their web application, which is straightforward to do.

If you need custom functionality running on the device, then you can write a custom driver for your device (which can include substantial custom logic) and use the portal to load it into your firmware image and install it.

I think our differentiation from others is that we assume the developer starts from the web application and wants to add connected devices to their app. Most other players assume a connected device and give you ways to send data from it to the cloud.

Hopefully that makes some sense.

IoT on Rails (looking for feedback)

We've built/are building a service to help web developers (starting with Rails devs) build end-to-end IoT applications with custom connected devices. The idea is to let web developers do this using their web dev skills. We have a video showing how this is done here: https://www.apiotics.com/videos/1 We're looking for feedback on this, and if anyone wants to try and build an IoT on Rails app...

It runs pretty much whatever you want to run. Unixy underpinnings along with MS Office, Adobe Creative Suite and you can run Windows/Linux in VMs if you want. The MBP will run pretty much any tool you need for whatever job you have. Also the hardware is attractive. What's not to like other than the price?

What Should Be In A Top Tier MBA Entrepreneurship Class?

I've been asked to provide advice about appropriate topics for an introduction to entrepreneurship class at a top 5 MBA program in the US. About 20% of the class sessions are being changed, and I'm being asked to give advice about what topics should go into that 20%. As I understand it, the remaining 80% of the class will cover the basic introductory topics (team formation, financing options,...
