Not all will move from AWS, but the price saving is significant for small players who doesn't need the full suite of AWS.
stackshare.io like one liner, where I prefer people to be more descriptive on why and how they use it.
It show Company XXX use this and that, but didn't show why they choose it, and to do what.
StackBus also double up as your tech resume :)
- Since money is not an issue, we can cross out the need to get a job to make ends meet and start thinking about fun things to do.
- I believe Idea is not a light-bulb moment after meditation for 6 months in your room; it sort of require you try doing different things in order to bump into the light-bulb moment.
More random advices:
- Do u like Hardware or Software? Assuming you are into tech ideas.
- Unless you have partners and funding, the scope of your project need to be within your own capabilities in order to reach mediocre success in terms of user adoptions.
- You don't need the best idea, just good enuf idea which interest you. Why passion/interest in important? So that you will work on it even though there is no money and users for 6 months, and you use/like your own product.
- Discipline. Build/Ship something every month is an interesting idea.
- follow your passion, not the money. when you work on your startup, do you truly enjoy at least some part of it, or just following the hype or hoping to become millionaires?
- are you well off where money is not an issue? if money is an issue, get a job; you can choose to work with well-off Malaysian startup like GrabTaxi.
- rather than keep thinking about money making startup, just work on small projects which you found interesting. e.g. https://levels.io/12-startups-12-months/
Woofoo (about 7 people) did remote, but the founder admit it's tough and challenging even for such a small and motivated company (imagine your workforce > 1000 people), though there are some obvious benefits.
It's not just about tools (slack, skype, etc.) and finding a procedure that works, but more about company culture, motivation, discipline, adaptation to remote environment, family at home, etc. Not every employee could survive a remote environment and continue to be productive :(
Before everyone could work from home, maybe the idea of multiple office location/work-space (rather than centralized) could be explored, yet it will have many pros and cons.
The purpose is to provide more insights and usage statistics when evaluating something new (server, language, framework, database, IDE, etc.).
It also double up as your online tech resume.
Hope you guys find it useful :)
Whenever a new stack popup, I always wonder 1) who us it 2) why they use it 3) what they use it for
Hopefully more people share their stacks on http://www.stackbus.com/ (FYI, I build it) so that it help others to decide better.

- Email: I remember it works with gmail; you can overwrite the "reply-to" header.
- Image Upload: seems to work fine by uploading to blobstore or GCS. Image serving is superb with images.get_serving_url!
I assume better Ardruino support on Windows is a good thing.
I guess the opinion of "not worthwhile" doesn't constitute good or bad either for the Ardruino community.
We could argue it's impossible for someone to do it due to external circumstances of being less privilege; think about some of the public figures who made it? Are these people doing the impossible more privileged than you are?
