james_impliu··on Building a Developer Tools Business
Mixpanel was really frustrating in this regard
james_impliu··on Launch HN: Carve (YC S19) – Rent Cars from Local Dealerships
As an FYI, car rental in Europe is a million times worse than my experiences in the US. I would be very motivated to try another way to do it. It is totally normal to have a 1-2 hour wait in the UK or France at most airports, for example.
james_impliu··on Show HN: Jira Slack Integration
FYI My first reaction was that your proposition and name are (very) similar to troops.ai, who are quite well established doing Salesforce<>Slack.
james_impliu··on Which Way Do You Run?
I wonder if this is evolutionary. For example - in the wild, choosing to fight something dangerous is a terrible idea. You run every time.
james_impliu··on Which Way Do You Run?
Does anyone else always feel a weird HN specific fomo - "comments or content... I want both!"
james_impliu··on Ask HN: Is this approach to our ads silly?
Thank you - we ping engineers after each merge with a couple of questions, then can surface this feedback in retrospectives. I'll think of a way to make that more concise!
james_impliu··on Ask HN: Is this approach to our ads silly?
Thanks for this. We felt they'd be a little polarising! We're putting more product detail into the homepage to try to make it clearer "what" will happen on starting to use it, as we're aware it's an ask to do the github / gitlab integration.
james_impliu··on Ask HN: Should I Ask for Promotion?
Doing lots of your current job != exhibiting you will succeed at the sorts of tasks if you were promoted, which is why if you are great at a certain job you can get stuck doing it, especially if you're a bit understaffed which I guess you are if you're doing a ton of extra work to keep up.

Can you pick up / start doing work that'd make it clearer you could be a leader (assuming that's what the next step looks like) without dropping the ball?

james_impliu··on Ask HN: The biggest technology that people think is working, but it doesn't?
"machine learning" in large corporates, when in practice this is 90%+ just maths/algorithms
james_impliu··on Meetup.com alternatives
This would be cool - an RSS feed for meetings, sort of. You could even display it in your calendar app directly.

I built this list whilst researching ideas for my new project, then thought it’d be cool to share it.

I’d love to hear any other favourite articles you have on best practices in this area - you can submit via a pull request or just me know.

Same here!
