I think a lot of people are missing the point. When the company first gets funded, things are always going well. Companies that establish a cadence of monthly investor updates at that time tend to do better because they know that in one month they need to have something to put in the update, so they work towards that.
For algorithms, I would recommend "Grokking Algorithms" by Aditya Y. Bhargava. The reason is that the book contains hand drawn visualization. I believe this will make the beginner easier to learn the concept.
One more thing, if you learn programming. Don't forget to practice, practice, and practice. The book has exercise sections. Please, don't skip it.
I've done 4 Flow Club sessions and have really enjoyed it.
I get the folks saying they'd be distracted and I thought the camera would throw me off (and you can turn it off if you want), but I got used to it right away and have been pretty productive during my sessions.
I'm working solo from home, so having others there has been energizing.
The people in my sessions seem to most commonly use Flow Club to get through work that they don't want to do or something they've been putting off.
California Dreamin' (YC W18) | Marketing Manager, Operations Associate | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE
We’re California Dreamin’ and we’re introducing the mainstream to cannabis beverages with our California Dreamin’ line of low dose, all natural cannabis sodas.
We believe that the future of cannabis consumption is through beverages and that the current market of heavily dosed edible products (think 100mg drinks and 1000mg cookies) only serves a small segment of the potential mainstream market.
About the product:
California Dreamin’ is a delicious all natural cannabis soda being distributed across California through our retail partners. Made simply of fruit juice, cannabis, and carbonation, our drinks are carefully crafted to give you a light social high. California Dreamin’ is the first product line and brand of many that we plan to produce.
I’m a Shogun fan. I was on a tight deadline to design, build, and launch our new site on Shopify. Designing a new site is enough work without introducing new functionality through apps you’ve never used before, especially in the time frame I had. Not the recommended way to do things with so many ways it could go wrong, but this was just the situation.
Shogun was an important factor in me hitting the deadline as it was very easy to learn and build with. There are a lot of page builders out there, and many hit a solid level of functionality, so it can hard to describe why Shogun is better.
For me, the difference is the speed that I can build a good design at. The UI, prebuilt templates, and backend speed all helped me move faster than with other page builders. While I haven’t used their support, a lot of their reviews on Shopify talk about how good it is (one reason I decided to take a look at the app)
Yes. We plan to! There are so many nuances with B2B that we felt it deserved a separate post. Having said that products like Slack (though B2B) is a lot similar to how a consumer app would scale. So it really depends on the type of product you are building
Hey! I run marketing for Periscope Data, a data explorer/dashboard product. We have a lot of customers using postgres and get compared to Looker a lot. We focus on optimizing for the analyst whereas tools like Looker focus on business users. We have a lot of features for business users, but chart creation is all SQL based.
Our site is here: https://www.periscopedata.com/ and if you have any questions, shoot me an email at jon@periscopedata.com.
You'll get future updates with the link above (just updates, no spam), but here's a direct download link, no email needed (it's hosted on mailchimp so the URL looks a bit weird): https://mcusercontent.com/9be143cbbb22f415980fa9074/files/71...
I originally wrote it for marketers, but decided to translate it for more of a technical audience, so let me know if anything doesn't make sense.
