maxwin··on Ask HN: Do you have the courage to abandon your high paying job?
Most company can’t leave a position open for 1 year. If they can , then they probably don’t need this person anymore.
maxwin··on UN: Facebook has turned into a beast in Myanmar
I am from Myanmar. I have many doctor friends and friends with a degree from US having this kind of bias or hatred and trusting all the fake facebook information they want to believe. It is not about education. It is the same in the US. People will believe what they want to believe.
maxwin··on UN: Facebook has turned into a beast in Myanmar
As someone living in Yangon, I can say that this is a very common bias people have including highly educated Burmese. It is unfortunate.
maxwin··on Prototyping a YC Startup Each Day
Second that. I will pay for the tool but not renting for serious work.
maxwin··on Prototyping a YC Startup Each Day
I think we just need a good CRUD app building tool. They are in the right direction but it is only for web app. There is a huge need for creating CRUD mobile native apps quickly with drag & drop and some coding. React Native is good enough but I feel there could be a better tool on top to make building CRUD apps really fast.
maxwin··on Prototyping a YC Startup Each Day
We need something like that for mobile native apps
maxwin··on Prove the badness of coworkers at your own risk (2012)
I would not want to work with her and would not want her in my team.
maxwin··on Ask HN: What would you do in my situation?
Since you said your family has some health problems. I suggest that you find a way to continue to work and save for at least 2 years .
maxwin··on Ask HN: Bootstrap a small profitable product vs. chase large risky opportunity?
A small lifestyle startup is not necessarily easier than a venture startup.
maxwin··on Ask HN: Founders who sold their company, what do you do?
invested in a friend's business (she's now my wife) --> Best ROI lol
maxwin··on Can we afford free music and still pay creators fairly?
"fairly" is hard to achieve. 500k per year for a good singer might seem fair from my perspective. But the singer who makes millions per year traditionally will not think it is fair for him or her.
maxwin··on Is software development really a dead-end job after age 35-40?
Agree. I think it is financially irresponsible for yourself and your family if you don't have a plan to transition yourself out of programmer job. It is okay if you are financially secure or independent, you can do whatever you want. But seriously, have a plan.
maxwin··on Anvil: full stack web apps built only with Python
Someone please create something like this but with React. It makes development faster but retains the flexibility.
maxwin··on After the end of the startup era
Genetics research is slow. It could be 10 , 20 or 50 years away.
maxwin··on Tokyo Is Preparing for Floods ‘Beyond Anything We’ve Seen’
Interesting story. Never knew that and I am a Burmese.
maxwin··on Ask HN: Why Isn't the Construction of CRUD Web UIs 90% Automated?
Keep up on the good work
maxwin··on Structor – React UI Builder
We do need something like this
maxwin··on Ask HN: A good “group management” tool?
Create a facebook or what's app chat group. Announce everything in the group, ask them to send you private information in private chat.
maxwin··on China Blocks WhatsApp
This kind of policy hinders China's innovation in the long term. But in this specific case, wechat is way ahead (years ahead I would say) of what's app in terms of innovation or utility.
maxwin··on China Blocks WhatsApp
This kind of policy definitely hinders China's long term innovation. But in this specific case, wechat is way ahead of what'sapp in terms of innovation and utility.
maxwin··on YC World – Explore YC Alumni by Country
Need one from Myanmar
maxwin··on Ask HN: Am I addicted to HackerNews?
better than addicting to facebook or twitter
maxwin··on How can Google Play be so inept?
Search is so bad on google play. For example , if you search wechat, you will see list and list of unofficial wechat related apps,but not the official wechat app.
maxwin··on Ask HN: What problem in your business is worth paying 10k/y for?
Enterprise pays the most for ERP. If you can create a better SAP, then you will make millions. I am saying as an SAP user, it is good but really expensive.
maxwin··on Ask HN: How much do you save in the SF Bay Area with $120k salary?
would be curious to know take home pay (120k minus tax) as well
maxwin··on Ask HN: What problems do you have that could be solved using software?
Similar features (and stability ) in SAP with much much cheaper price.
maxwin··on No Job
Where are you based? US? It is strange to hear that there are people getting 200k+ and then there are some who can't find one.
maxwin··on Only sane person in the room
Making sure you communicate in a way other people can understand you is also part of your job. If CEO doesn't know what you do or what you're supposed to be doing, then he fails and you fail.
maxwin··on Want to Be Happy? Buy More Takeout and Hire a Maid, Study Suggests
Very well said. The parent is living in a bubble. If you are a retired millionaire or financially well off, doing those mundane tasks might be fun. Just like people paying to go to gym to spend energy. It won't be fun to spend energy for doing hard labor because you need to put food on the table.
maxwin··on Poverty is not a personal choice, but a reflection of society
It is both a personal choice and a reflection of society. I am not sure which one has bigger weight. But if you live in the US , are not physically impaired, and high school educated. Personal choice definitely has much more weight. I know many friends who come to US from Myanmar. Don't speak English , no degrees. But almost all of them live above average several years later. But they sure need to work really hard.
