Indeed, and I see plenty of reasons to listen to him. Khan Academy helped me immensely in college for free and Sal Khan has been at it for what, 17 years now?

I'm pretty sure he has a better than average grasp on what it means to learn and how to improve the process. And even more importantly, he's trying to! If not him, then who should we listen to?

I don't have a clue why GP reduces Sal to "good at explaining things" when Khan Academy is so much bigger than just him for a long time now. And I, for one, am very grateful that he exists. People in first world countries can't imagine the impact that free access to great education resources has in the rest of the world, like in my case.

> At the gym, people assume anyone with big muscles must be an expert in medicine. Let's not make the same mistake here.

The gym analogy falls short to me. The mistake here is assuming that someone that worked in education for almost two decades, and has achieved extraordinary results in the mean time, doesn't have any clue about education in general.

I worked in hardware a few years ago at a small shop and I'm just chiming in with a basic reply. I hope people with experience at larger scale could elaborate further.

I believe what you are looking for is a product lifecycle management (PLM) software.

I'm not certain at which scale it makes sense, but the team was looking at Teamcenter from Siemens at the time: https://www.plm.automation.siemens.com/global/en/products/te...

It seems expensive but very complete.

We shipped around 500-1000 units per year and as the devices were sensors/actuators connected to the internet which we continuously supported, we kept device information in a RDBMS on our backend. We registered them via NFC after they left the factory and configured them afterwards on installation.

If you're looking more for post-sales servicing, depending on the team's skill set and device service volume, I reckon you could wrangle all this in Excel/Airtable.

Glad to help! Feel free to shoot an email if you want to chat or throw ideas around about this or other issues you may be facing as a new CTO. The address is on my profile.

Can you expand on "still not working for us"?

We had the same problem here. What we implemented is:

1. Have a separate step on the project management board describing "In Review" (QA) and "Deployed" (in production)

2. Interested parties (sales and marketing teams, for instance) should have "Observer" access in the ticketing system and follow relevant issues

Alternatively, you can ditch the Observer access and do the release notes based on what was "Deployed". If learning how to navigate the ticketing system generates friction for your interested parties, this can work better. Not an issue for us as everyone uses the same system to track their tasks.

Thanks, serverlessmom! Knowing that posting this was worthwhile for someone else made my day!

I "discovered" this some a few weeks ago while watching my co-founder sell very well. Afterwards, we were discussing it and I said, "man, you should see my brain when I'm programming, it's kind of amazing!" and then it dawned on me what was happening. A mixture of a visual language, with elements from both English and Brazilian Portuguese, and the abstract CS concepts.

When he sells, I'm sure he has his own internal language to do it. He doesn't think about objections, how to answer a specific question, etc. anymore. He just does it. It's kind of fascinating, and the universe is fascinating too. Learning every day!

I'm the one who has to thank you for sharing -- good luck too!

Haha! No wonder I have so many issues with:

  - though  
  - through  
  - rough  
  - cough  
  - thought

Thanks for the link, jjgreen. Very interesting, and certainly tricky.

Cool points, coolgeek and ogwh. Totally agree on paying attention to detail. I think that we go too far from understanding the fundamentals, and that cripples us.

Being there is the first step. If you aren't "there", paying attention, everything is way, way harder.

If you don't focus on what your tongue, mouth and the air is doing, how are you going to learn to pronounce better? We just try a bunch of things and see what sticks -- not very efficient.

Thanks for the comments, they made me reflect a lot.

Thanks, devKnight! I'll take a look at the book.

I totally agree about (1), and glad to know your experience with shadowing was helpful. How did you do it?

To understand more about it, I really liked reading this book: https://drgabormate.com/book/scattered-minds/

Clubhouse.

Very happy with it so far. It's free up to 10 users.

Same experience here, it truly is an absolute joy. In the front-end, we are using TypeScript with vue-property-decorator [1], it made me like Vue even more. I wasn't much of a fan of developing frontends before, but I actually have been having fun using TypeScript + Vue + Tailwind CSS. I'd also like to try out Svelte in the future.

I'm also doing an startup -- we've been working on the product for only two weeks and we just released access for our first pilot customer, with an initial feature set we are very happy with. Apart from the productivity, it's been a long time since I loved programming. Keep in mind I was doing embedded C development for a few years, so my web-fu is a bit rusty lately.

The only thing I miss sometimes is types, especially when refactoring. Java with IntelliJ will spoil you, I guess. I was thinking about going with Kotlin because of this, but I was really digging the Phoenix project structure and I love Ecto.

All in all, a great experience.

No, Quiver doesn't use Electron and is Mac only. Inkdrop is cross-platform.

All valid points. However, etaioinshrdlu is making a reference to the time Dropbox was first posted to Hacker News: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8863

Can_Not was probably thinking about Symfony [1].

I also recommend taking a look at Zephyr RTOS [1].

I've been using it in production for almost a year, and no major complaints so far. There seems to have support for POSIX threads and BSD sockets, but I don't use them, so I can't tell you if they are production-ready or not.

I think you should have disclosed that you are part of Peekmap's team: https://angel.co/peekmap/jobs

This post looks almost like an ad. I hope, then, you are putting effort into "enforcing user security".

It is used for income targeting in ads. Sorry about the lousy/spammy reference, but it's the best explanation I could find.

It just got released! https://github.com/gradle/gradle/releases

Tip: when presented with the dreaded sign up to see overlay, you can add ?share=1 to the end of the URL to bypass it.

Seems like they are solving that problem in version 2: http://zurb.com/article/1424/call-me-e-schmail-conquering-th...

I'm really glad to know that this release is coming out in the next few days. I'm going to start building a new multitenant application soon and I'd love to be able to try row-level security.

It seems that the sponsorship levels are determined by years of sponsorship [1]. Not really defending these specific companies as they have been profiting from PostgreSQL for a lot longer than one year. However, they could be on track to become Platinum sponsors and we wouldn't know.
