Strongly agree!
I believe remote work and async communication increased the feedback loop and reduced focus. For you to get your PR reviewed/merged or simply unblock some other person, will require more time than working together.

What are your opinion on enabling downvotes?
(1) - We are discovering more ways to verify past experiences. We think capturing relieving letter is one of the ideas here, but we are open to suggestions.
(2) We absolutely agree with this impression. The core principle of Peerlist is to help build Proof of work. We wanted to start with specific user personas during beta and then cater for others. We started with published content (including public GitHub repos) as it was easier to build with public APIs. We are planning to add more ways to fetch private (non-IP) metadata about the contributions on Peerlist in secure way to help a wider range of users.
I have 3 hypothesis for this
1. When the business/idea is new, a lot of time goes into brainstorming and connecting dots. Hence creating a web app becomes easier and iterations becomes smoother.
2. If the idea is new, it takes time for people to get convinced and download your mobile app. With web app first approach, you can start acquiring users and then build an app later.
3. The resources requires to build an app, get it approved and launch it on app store are pretty expensive effort-wise as compared to web app.
This becomes useful in both ways and also this is considered as a perfect way to gain followers. May be thats why :D
This is because most of them are happy at their work but if someone with better opportunity or opportunity aligning with their career path reaches out to them, they consider it.
We have hired a senior engineer by this strategy only and it works.
Why?
Most of the training sessions I attended or used to happen in my organisation were on very general topics. All these topics can be easily learnt via any other medium like youtube.
Instead, I have seen pair programming or code-reviews making better engineers. The organisation used to change the pair programming partners every sprint making us understand new ways of working every time. Plus reading other's code in code reviews exposes you to new patterns making you better at writing code.
I think its good to approach some angels and raise pre-seed.
This book is around 380 pages, but an amazing read for everyone working on creating softwares.
But, things changed drastically when Medium started promoting its paywall like never before. Most of the good content went behind the paywall and it pissed off so many writers as well who did not want to write under it.
Recently read about Medium changing their recommendation engine and it is really good. But because there are so many other good platforms evolving, it will be hard for so many people like us to go back to Medium. Substack is really good, but I always find it difficult to discover good content on Substack.
On Dribbble you can search for the specific kind of UI that you want to built, for e.g. Admin Dashboard, Login Page, Splash Screen etc and you will start seeing so many good designs in front you.
Once you have that set, you can shortlist 3-4 designs and take inspirations from them. You should also mention the designer in the project rom whom you took inspiration. I mostly used to do this for my side projects.
May not be a very good way to do things, but atleast it will help you get started.
Thank you so much for curating this.
What I think is, it's the comparison and less focus span, that leads us anxious. Though social media has a role to play in this. We also have to accept the fact that it has become a part of our lives, so understanding the core of problems we face would work in long run.
I might be wrong in understanding this, but I think if they made it to the point where other companies could consider acquiring them, it should get celebrated :)
