>>Sure the devs have greater responsibility, but there's no dev/ops disconnect here.

I feel this greater responsibility also leads to better code. Do devs in this model also have on-call responsibilities?

>> When you use the phrase unbounded welfare spending - I think ensuring kids are fed, have access to schools, and live in a non hazardous environment is key. Your use of that term sounds very generic to me, and I want to highlight there is far more nuance. Unbounded welfare spending sounds like something I would hear on Fox News, and so I take issue with that phrase.

I didn't think of the negative connotation of that phrase so thanks for calling that out. I primarily meant that welfare spending should be sustainable. If welfare spending continues to grow as a % of revenue, then it could lead to excessive deficit and debt which can be bad in the long run. Its my personal point of view that balancing welfare spending with things like infrastructure/tech/science/education and ensuring those opportunities reach the less fortunate is a way of keeping it sustainable.

I feel like this argument is brought up every time Indian government invests in anything. My two cents below with the full disclaimer that I have been fortunate enough to evade poverty most of my life.

I am not saying that the poverty issue and the sheer scale of it, as you mentioned, shouldn't be a top priority but it can't be the only priority. I am from India but have lived in the US most of my life and have to say that looking at both countries, unbounded welfare spending does not seem to solve the issue of poverty and we can't possibly expect that to work against a growing population. It may mitigate the scale of it in the short run but in the long run, investing in the economy seems to be a better way of reducing poverty.

I can't comment much to the merits of doing a manned mission vs other types of space missions but science investment vs poverty is not a great way for any government to prioritize spending. For me, balanced spending is the way to go.

Completely agree! I have used next.js in multiple projects now and have gotten very fast turnaround on any submitted issues. Love the product and the team!

Are the Product Manager jobs strictly in SF or will they consider Austin as well?

No problem, works now. Thanks!

This is awesome! The apply link (https://apply.aigrant.org/) is not working for me however.

The product manager role is not showing on your website. Is that still available?

Only if you don't take inflation into account.

Absolutely!

What is the best place to discuss this with you?

I would be interested in this. If you would like to discuss further, my email is shauravg at gmail

This seems cool. Have you done any marketing for this?

I did the Tech Entrepreneur nanodegree over a period of 7 months. With the half your money back offer, I ended up paying $700 into the course and ended the course with an interactive prototype and a marketing plan. Both of those I still use to move my product development forward, so I felt that it was money well spent.

In comparison, I have taken classes in my grad school that I spent $1200+ on that I ended with anything to show for it.

I will say though that Udacity show more preview content and maybe a longer trial period (currently 7 days). I did try the Android nanodegree and felt it was not worth my time but that was because of my experience in it.

I felt the same way. It was not genuine nor was it encouraging competition. Just because Slack built a very good product does not mean other companies are not allowed to compete with them especially one that already has an immense user base in the office/enterprise market.

Same here. The content is split into 2-5 minute videos and it constantly has to reload new videos and the mini quizzes interrupt the flow. I'd much rather watch a full 30min-1hour lecture in one go.

Personally though, I do think the content itself and the project reviews are helpful.

I'm looking for intermediate level customer success or product management roles.

I have had multiple experiences with that. When I first put my resume up on Dice.com in 2009 after graduation, I was contacted by a lot of these IT companies. A couple of them gave me job offers just over phone interviews which struck me as odd at first but I was also a bit desperate.

Then, they tell you that they will provide you with 2-4 week training which allows you to lie on your resume and put down 5-7 years of fake experience. Their account managers send you job postings and ask you to create fake resumes that are specific to each posting and they have in-house people who proxy your phone interviews.

Really bad, but I think more and more people are catching onto it.

I don't know anything about Scheme. But, porting AWK might be cool. Thanks.

I re-read it and you are right. I don't see a way to edit the title however.

Well the stuff he has listed is extremely basic operations and there is really not much more to explain there. I already knew this but for somebody who has never seen this or touched math in a while may find it helpful...

I think that is the great thing about IDEs allowing plugins. There are many other nice LaTeX editors, but none that allow proper customization.

nice compilation. I end up using some of the ls* commands quite a bit, but I didn't know so many more existed.

Interesting. I personally like this, but seems like Microsoft really wants to annoy the OEMs. One of the major downsides of building your own PC was the high cost of the full retail Windows OS.

Just curious, have you (or many others that have the same issue with the Mac App Store) decided to switch to some sort of package manager like homebrew?

Personally, I think any interface takes some getting used to. Even Win7 and Mac OS X seemed hard to grasp at first due to my comfort with the old Windows/Linux styles. But, with a small amount of time you realize their strength and actually start to like it. Also, Microsoft may easily make some changes based on feedback they get in this 90 day trial period (like yours for example).

Product undoubtedly looks and works great (at least from a basic skim). My only issue with it is the pricing matrix which caps the # of clients. I do some small time freelance work and i definitely have more than 10 clients overall. So, does the pricing indicate that the freelance level can only do 10 clients at any given time? Is there a way to record historical results?

Note that I wouldn't mind paying 15/month for the unlimited version, but I am just saying that paying monthly for 10 clients seems a bit off in my opinion.

Looks great. I don't know if this is possible, but it would be awesome if you could pull iOS (and future Windows phone?) data too.

Is there anywhere I could see a feature list or screenshots for this app. I use post to a blog on wordpress regularly and wouldn't mind a desktop client. But, I would also like to see if the app is something I would use before actually testing it.
