I recently hired two engineers that were good at clearing the interview rounds using AI -- I knew because I encouraged them to use AI.

But when it came to large complex codebase or problems that required critical thinking everything fell apart.

Any links to read what people in EU are saying?

If you open the link that you shared you may realise that the API is so unsupported that you can't build any production application on top of it.

I was not denying that not every app needs to be native -- I was replying to a comment asking for what is not supported.

Contacts API; Not all sensors are supported

This is a fair point. I would hate spamming any maintainer. Most of these contributions will happen after the students have completed their curriculum and done 1-2 concept designs. [Apologies if I did not make it clear that I am just trying to replace the redesign projects -- not the new concept design]

At the same time, if I fork any repo of my choice -- I don't think we'll necessary work on the most important aspects. Reducing the chances of the design getting incorporated or the students getting any objective feedback to improve things.

Over the shoulder is often the developer explaining their decisions in the code, instead of the reviewer trying to reverse-engineer it, independently. It's just faster and has less resistance -- not necessarily better.

Problem with remote live reviews is that in a remote environment, it's harder to tell if someone is free or they are doing their own deep work.

Either the developer has to wait for the review to be done asynchronously before the merge... or ping someone to review their code through a screenshare and take away their attention.

In Hasura your still need a 3rd party service such as Firebase or 0Auth for Authentication. Also, it depends on Serverless functions for doing any business logic.

Sails looks like a great framework otherwise. What is the reason for its bad reputation?

This is cool! Please share. :)

We are a passionate group of engineers, design researchers and artists deeply focused on “Why of Everything”. We help our clients achieve more with our design and execution expertise. For us, design is way beyond aesthetics. Design is how stuff works. Starting from how it looks to how it feels, we care for the details.We have developed from successful landing pages to full fledged enterprise grade applications. Have you looked at some of our work already?

Your job will be to work with our engineering team and get shit done. We love JavaScript and Python, although we occasionally work on PHP as well. You will get the exposure right from managing servers to writing your own application servers to creating progressive web apps and mobile apps. If you’re also interested in Machine Learning and Deep Learning, we have some really challenging work for you.

What was your app?

Hey Karam and Shubhendu, congratulations for the launch. I have a few questions:

1. What is the setup cost? 2. What are your expansion plans, specially in remote areas of India? Will the model still be profitable?

Go out and talk to your prospective clients. I Can't stress this enough. Talking to your prospective clients is the best way to learn more about them and how they made decisions of which freelancer to choose.

When you meet, make sure that you look like an expert in what you do. :) This alone got me quite some clients.

I did not try to target US as such. Zomato is a home grown startup, IITs are the top schools. And most of the points in the article apply more closely to India than any other place... but I think a lot of things are same all over the globe... :)

Thanks for the link. That thread was the major reason I wrote the article.

At the same time, the thread applies more to a global context. This article is more related to the Indian startup ecosystem.

Ah! Thanks and sorry for that. English is not my first language. :)

Thank you for clicking on the link. What can be a better way to write it?

Food.

The food production is not keeping up with the boom in population, specially in the developing nations. In India, where I come from, farmers are running away from Farming. (Because it's not profitable enough to even feed a family and pay for school fees). We desperately need ways to increase the food production, without increasing the land or water usage. A way of doing it can genetic engineering (Supercharged Photosyntesis?), but even this solution looks like a distant reality. May be not enough people are working on it or there is a lack of funding here...

Food is the most basic requirement for survival for any life form. Fund this research... YC will be eternally blessed! :D

Excellent points! Do you have a sample pitch where someone is asking for beta users?

It actually depends on how well you do it. ionic framework uses round checkboxes and does it really well. http://ionicframework.com/docs/components/#checkbox
