ajainy | 5 years ago | on: Java Verbal Expressions

of course as others pointed out, writing direct exp might be optimal or every dev should learn about it.

BUT in my whole career span, whenever I have to use regex, I spend couple of hrs learning and testing. This kind of library for Java open doors for many other things. (testibility, default library using default methods etc.., integration with streaming ). And as community adds to it, it can be optimized internally. All end user needs to do upgrade versions. Can be extended part of javax validation specs.

nice tool, specially modern programmer is always switching context and I always loose my prev notes. right now my notes and gist's are spread around multiple google drives and my GitHub account.

Even if I adopt this tool, my biggest fear is, this website will disappear one day. and how about security. what if my personal notes have passwords.

and second biggest fear is, if my company firewall this site, then I am back to same situation

ajainy | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: What are you using as an issue tracker in 2018?

I haven't used too much many but just analyzing at whole project, using altassian suite makes more sense to me. (even for small team projects.). Using their hosted solutions is quite affordable and you don't want to spend your energy in learning new product or host or learning integrations.

JIRA (tasks + bugs) + Confluence (for any kind of internal docs) is all you need.

Great job. You might need to work on pricing. (I am sure, you are still experimenting). I used google sheets before to get rest APIs and extract information. (internal project). But google sheets being on cloud, provides many opportunities for integration. Google should be more serious on plugin marketplace.

It's unfortunate. People behind c9.io should have thought about existing users etc. AWS did, what they do for all. -=-= Do you want to modify your offering to include free AWS trial offer (i think, AWS offer 750hrs of ec2 something) OR do monetization of your courses and u foot the bill of AWS.

Something like that.

Thanks for article. Though I known about Lambda for long time, but this is one nice example, how Lambda can be used. Now I am planning to use to develop some zapier like integrations.

-=-=

Having said that, before you jump into making free payment forms for your static site, keep PCI compliance in mind. (even if stripe is rendering form using js).

ajainy | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: What SaaS customer service tools does your startup use?

For https://snapcx.io , I have been experimenting with freshdesk, zendesk and zoho too. In end, as we are simple startup, I decided to stick with

  - Straight email support 
  - asciidoc generated html pages for documentation https://snapcx.io/docs
  - self hosted contact us form. (it sends email to support)
  - free zendesk chat. (as of today, it's one or two chat request, which sends email to support email)
  - As we are selling API subscription, I am hosting swagger based api explorer. (simple html page) 
  - https://snapcx.io/addressValidationAPI
My current gap is more intuitive documentation, which has search functionality and also in-built api explorer. I believe readme.io has both but no customer support features.

ajainy | 9 years ago | on: Monetize Your APIs in AWS Marketplace Using API Gateway

Or use 3scale or WSO2? I understand, pricing point of view, amazon will be 10 times or more cheaper. But level of effort required and limited features set, you have to decide what you are trying to do with your time & skills.

ajainy | 9 years ago | on: Google to acquire Apigee

3Scale got acquired by IBM, and now APIGEE by google. Time to buy Layer7 shares?

API Gateways are big deal in API first initiatives.

ajainy | 10 years ago | on: Why we choose Java instead of a polyglot stack

It's interesting to see shift towards. Always remind of 2005, when everyone was blogging about RoR.. Then 2010, everyone was blogging about scala. Personally, I could never find any good reason to move away from JAVA. Yes, learning multiple languages might give you better perspective on software development but when we talk about some serious enterprise software development (it's not only language but cost of development too), JAVA is good enough.

-=-= Another thing I am realizing, over the period, specially shift in architecture style because spring (aka IOC pattern), it has made programmers better. We can't blame everything on EJBs etc any more. Early JAVA programmers were treating java as magic bean instead of putting good effort on learning & writing programs right away.

Oracle should thank Apache & Spring.. in my opinion.

Trusted adviser on amazon payroll, to help reduce cost of paying to amazon. #Conflict_Of_Interest

Managing EC2 instances is becoming like filing taxes. Soon you will need EC2_Instance_Advisors for your company needs.

ajainy | 11 years ago | on: Netflix responds to Verizon

oh grammer nazis... :). I thought, it's only reddit. Point is, it doesn't look "legal" enough language. Again, I just have doubt on it's legality.

ajainy | 11 years ago | on: Netflix responds to Verizon

Is it only me, who thinks, this letter might be FAKE. Though it's professionally written but it doesn't look like real one. For example: three DOTs right after word doorstep. I tend to use multiple dots in my personal emails but even in office, talking to clients, using multiple dots, is not professional. How we can confirm, this is REAL letter not just nice job done faking it.

ajainy | 12 years ago | on: Republic Wireless - You can check out any time you want, but you can never leave

HN is becoming another DZone, anyone to come and post your blurb blog post. Either OP just wants to discredit RepublicWireless or he should know that, if any service provider is offering heavily discounted phone, obviously they are going recoup their discount with form of either contract or forcing to sell you phone with their ROM. What's new in that?
