@neerajjj6785 A successful startup requires (among other things) great sales skills from the founders / distribution channels. Most of the engineers I have met lack this kind of skills. Building has never been the hard part, it is just way easier and faster. The hard part is closing deals.
@iamAliAgha@icanvardar This. People keep telling me how good it is, yet I find the UX clunky, far from intuitive, and every time I try to use it, I am frustrated with unexpected behaviour.
@kentcdodds The DevX is great, too. The fact it is not too rigid also helps (lots of freedom, which is also a double-edged sword). Coming from backend, I made a lot of mistakes initially, but React is a joy to learn and experiment with.
@Ma_thie_u D’autant plus que la clim peut facilement se combiner à de l’énergie solaire, c’est pas vraiment le cas du chauffage (quand on en a besoin, il y a peu de production salaire) 🤷🏼♂️
La clim c’est très bien quand c’est bien pensé écologiquement et du point de vue sanitaire (flux)
@jonathan_wilke Consumes less resources, allows keyboard interactions, allows non-interactive sessions, more efficient use of space, easier to launch multiple sessions in parallel, etc
For complex visual workflows like breakpoint debugging, I agree a GUI is useful.
@Shirleyyych La plupart des pistes cyclables reçoivent débris / gravillons projetés par les voitures, et sont en mauvais état, favorisant les crevaisons.
Je roule dessus pour pas me faire agresser par les automobilistes, mais ça reste stressant.
@CooperZurad Security vuln., business needs changing (impacting scope or non-functional requirements), compliance evolutions, weird bugs surfacing in odd situations far later than originally. Software needs to be maintained because it is ever evolving + depends on evolving third party soft
@Benoit_L_Autre@MarianneleMag L’explication se trouve probablement dans le nombre d’employés. 2800 ça me paraît vraiment énorme pour ce qu’ils font, je serais intéressé du break down par poste.
@GregorySchier It is probably useful to take time and answer it. An agent will most likely be able to prefill a lot based on your codebase/docs. Then you review.
Using that first RFP as a baseline in a knowledge base can then speed up future RFPs as questions will inevitably be very similar.
@RenaudB31 Dit aimer les animaux, mais les exploite et les mange (et pêche pour le plaisir). Cultive une image de simplicité et prend la parole sur l’écologie, mais propose un vol en hélicoptère. Waw
@karrisaarinen@ajambrosino Yes, I have been struggling with this. Conveying intent and taste as part of a spec-driven workflow works well for the overall behaviour, but being able to specify precise UI/UX via md files is hard. It requires a lot of iteration with ad-hoc prompts to obtain a good result.
@signulll Internal apps are not visible to us, compliance in many countries, ops improvements, conversion/ux improvements, technical renovation, security management, complex systems possibly more risky to change requiring automated test harnesses, incident analysis with AI, etc.
The fallacy of this is that more creates more. More hours, more hiring, more something.
And it is true in a sense. If you put in more work, more work will happen. But I think for most startups, the leverage is really in how differently you approach the problem, how well you cultivate your team, and the strategy.
Any large company can outspend you on hours. They have thousands or tens of thousands more people, spending more hours. If hours worked were the metric, every large company and government organization would always win and do the best work. More hours, better output.
This thinking is often representative of younger founders, where the startup becomes their identity and life. They have a hard time doing anything else, and cannot understand that your work is not the person that is you. But activities outside of work can grow you as a person too and make you do better work.
I’ve never worked this way. As a designer, I always saw the need to take a step back, to take a break. At times, I might work 12 hours or 16 hours, or whatever amount was needed, but it wasn’t the norm. You just can't grind design, you need inspiration. But taking that step away from the work, would give me more perspective, inspiration and I could approach the problem differently or I could just see the solution.
Grinding is never good for any creative problem, and startups or creating new products are often mostly about creative problem solving. Grinding works ok for email jobs, or where you just executing on very clear playbook.
With Linear, we’ve never worked this way. We work reasonable hours, 5 days a week. All of us founders have families. Many of our employees have families. I personally stop every evening, spend time with the family, cook dinner for the family, eat dinner together, and focus on things outside of work. Sometimes I work in the late evenings or weekends, but to me the pride is that I don’t need to. Company should be succesful without it.
My goal is to build a company that is sustainable in the long term, and doesn’t require heroics or personal sacrifices every single day.
There are times when our team is heroic. Launches, incidents, some other work that just needs to be done. They will work late into the night because they know it is the right thing. But we don’t require that every day or every week, and the more this happens, the more I think it is a failure of our company and leadership. The team and the leaders should always keep a reserve to use when something is needed.
Our thinking was also that quality, which we value, doesn’t emerge from working more or stressing people more. It emerges when you create the conditions for it to emerge. Often it is the appreciation, space, time, and how the person feels. A person who is rested will do better work.
I wouldn’t attribute much of our success to working a lot. The success came from having clear thinking, ideas, and focus to do the right things.
I sometimes wish we could move the culture more toward a Zen master.
Real mastery is not exerting the most effort. It is achieving the outcome with the least necessary effort.
@FakecelOriginel Si tu aimes voir la nature autour de toi, avoir le calme quand tu ouvres la fenêtre, marcher 5 minutes et te retrouver en sous-bois, entendre les oiseaux, rouler à vélo sur des routes vides, oui Paris est invivable au-delà de quelques jours, comme toute ville 🤷🏼♂️
@sociable_weaver How are you tracking it? How and when it is measured greatly impacts the usefulness: see https://t.co/Kvb5uq2s2n
For me, it is pretty accurate using this app, but I agree with one of your comments: experience / feeling generally aligns, so if knowing oneself might be as useful.
@VeloFute Vu l'interview d'après-course de Narvaez et l'accolade éclair entre les deux, je me demande si Narvaez se rend compte que le move de Christen l'a favorisé...
