Hard disagree. There is no evidence that startups of India are helping the GDP or improving the lives of rank and file Indians. In my understanding, right now, all these VC funded businesses are catering to top 100M of Indian population, people who are already living US-lifestyle in India.
Many people somehow are able to overlook the lack of infrastructure and accident prone roads. Family+having access to maids, cooks, drivers, etc is a big driver of this behavior.
Anyone knows a good API to access books in my library? It is 2021 and there is no App which sends me daily notifications of what I must read. It is insane. The book is already checked out. I just need a remainder to read it or a random page given to me.
It's a marketing tool. It is like saying, "All these smart people believe in our growth potential. You as a potential employee too should believe us. You as a customer should think we have innovative solution to your needs"
No.
Whitewashed as as in give an aura of we did no shady things, we never faked anything, we did not have to give an extreme discounts to anyone, all our discussions with customers were straight forward. We just walked into people's offices, gave presentation and they were a contract, there are no externalities to our product, we are very profitable and stress free at each step of the journey.
Also, if I were to give one advise to startup founders. Ignore all advice online about how to succeed. It's mostly whitewashed stuff. Unless you know the founder privately, 1-on-1, it is useless. The only honest ones are from failed founders.
Because no product manager has been able to push it through various layers of beauracracy (yet).
Plus more customizations means, their ML based personalized SERP page has failed in understanding your intent/needs.
A cabinet minister (secretary in US administration) got a call like this out of the blue. That is when the India govt work up to the problem. Nothing was done so far though,
Not really. news channels, print media, billboards, internet websites use devanagari script. But in Messenger apps, FB, Telegram, people use latin script.
This is great. Is there an easy "open source terminal emulator" where I can run this after I typed enter but before it is executed? More like. is there a way the terminal can understand I typed a bad command and then give suggestions for changing it.
QA is not rolled up in to software engineering. Developers are now expected to write UTs and ITs. Except in companies like Apple, where there are still Manual QA and SDET positions.
Thats not the point of my question. Substack can say something like medium does. "You can view five posts for free and then you should login to read more"
When are you implementing a login wall like medium.com? I believe any user generated content must not be hidden behind a login wall, unless (of course) the user wants. Unfortunately, I believe that is what you will be doing soon, just because all other companies have done the same.
They are all using nylas recruiting software. Reply to the third or fourth mail asking for what skills they need and you will be a boilerplate "Shortly after sending you this email, We have shortlisted some candidates and they have moved to final rounds. In order to be respectful of your time, we will not be proceeding with your candidature."
That's a cool story. However, I would say there are good reasons to test whether I can actually implement something. Mostly it tells the hiring manager about my quality of my work rather than a simple yes (s)he can do or no (s)he can't.
However, as with anything else, there are exceptions one should be cognizant of.
