ganadiniakshay··on Ask HN: What's your personal website's tech stack?
I setup a simple static + blogging site using Ghost. Used docker to run it on a Ec2 instance.
ganadiniakshay··on Ask HN: Is it normal to fall out of love with coding?
The right word would have been challenging. It's challenging to talk to customers. But challenges are fun and what got me into CS in the first place
ganadiniakshay··on Ask HN: Is it normal to fall out of love with coding?
How easy would you say it is to move back into a developer role if I say switch into product management role?

I am scared I will be asked a lot about why I am switching back into coding and why I left it in the first place? I am scared of coming across as indecisive

ganadiniakshay··on Ask HN: Is it normal to fall out of love with coding?
Thanks for the reply. In fact I have been considering moving into product management as it feels like a more stronger fit. However, I am scared if this is the right choice or if I might regret leaving coding.

I could always code as a hobby I guess.

ganadiniakshay··on Ask HN: W2018 invites sent. Who got in and what are you making?
Congrats..also good to know that rejections don't matter. We had our second rejection this term but atleast got a video call.
ganadiniakshay··on Billions’ worth of high-tech research seeking to make death optional
I actually believe its highly important we achieve this sooner rather than later. Because we are currently limited by death for a lot of things. One example is Inter-Planetary Space Travel. If you could live longer then you can travel farther and explore more.
ganadiniakshay··on Ask HN: Should I explicitly search for a co-founder?
I am a developer..the products are done halfway or upto 70%. I also built a product, infact I use it to fulfill the contracts. Even launched an MVP to get some feedback. Its just getting too hectic as more contracts keep getting added.
ganadiniakshay··on Ask HN: Should I explicitly search for a co-founder?
So I would really like to have a helping hand/ employees. The thing is we have around 4 contracts from major companies, but I will only make significant revenue once they get delivered. I also need to work on my SaaS product for non-enterprise customers.

So money to hire or a co-founder to share work would be great help. I am afraid I might burnout working 18 hour days.

ganadiniakshay··on Show HN: Airfi, a bot to find wifi passwords at Airports
Also all the code is available at https://github.com/GanadiniAkshay/airfi
ganadiniakshay··on Show HN: ApiAiRecognizer – Use api.ai instead of LUIS in Microsoft Bot Framework
The one thing I really love about Api.ai is the support for pre built domains..

However one problem is their api only directly the top intent while LUIS gives you score for all intents. This could be useful in some cases.

ganadiniakshay··on Facebook's “free internet” programme hits a roadblock in India
Facebook is treating the farmers better by giving them access to facebook. What has the government done except no interest loans, free seeds and fertilizers, subsidies and free training programs.

Sounds about right

ganadiniakshay··on YC Fellowship
I currently have a job at Microsoft and am considering applying. The application says I don't have to quit my job until I am accepted. However Microsoft requires me to give a 45 day notice. So I might not be available full time in the first week or so, will that be a problem?
