This book "Range: How Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World" may shed some light https://www.amazon.com/Range-Generalists-Triumph-Specialized...

^this. refactoring into React or any tech stack does not correlate directly to user engagement or revenue. It sure does have impact; but perhaps it's more relevant to state something like improving page load time, developer productivity, time to market (or MTTR, etc) because of cleaner architecture that enables to iterate faster and so on

perhaps this can be a potential airbnb opportunity?

or put an extra $100/mo in an investment with the growth rate great than mortgage rate

The moment you have your data in the hand of a cloud based service, it's no longer under your control. isn't it?

1. why not? 2. start building

Any idea why college education is so expensive? here's just my cynic view from personal experience but I don't have enough data to back it. 1. some professors in some public state schools can get paid a ridiculous amount of salary 2. The administration is inefficient and bureaucratic.

if you have to use a throway foo bar, whey do they need to get back to you? It's as a curtsey but don't think it's necessary. It's possible job hunters just spam resume for no reason. To me, a template reply is no better than a no rely.

How in the world could someone who makes $200K+ live a miserable life?

What's the likelihood for the current startup to exit at $86 million valuation in 4 years? (based on brudgers' calculation. I like his logic!)

Also, I would have to agree with you from my own experience as well, I wouldn't do it again unless as a cofounder.

Perhaps instead of reinventing each tool that already does well in its own space, one could build a platform that allows users to link all these tools (if API is available) and customize with their own workflow and dashboard. I wonder if there's anything similar already existing yet? I feel in some big corps they may have developed their own proprietary homegrown tools for these.

totally agree. just to make things worse, the password rule on the client side sometimes does not agree with the one on the server side. XD

still remember the day Google collected public WiFi data ...now they have your WiFi covered ;)

In Taiwan, thank you is everywhere and yes Chinese is spoken there
