With this, people will come here and the go. I mean consider the example of many GNU/Linux users I know who use GNU/Linux (or for them Linux means Ubuntu) system and can ask them to try out Waterfox. But, about installation - can't we have .deb? I know we can easily install from tarball and then setup the .desktop file and then adjust the icon to properly display, and what not...But, Can we make a bit simpler to try?

I was in one seminar, and someone asked a question about future to Harish Mehta (one of the founder of NASSCOM), and he said that big companies will become bigger for at least next 10 years.

I still feel that Trinity was good than all these newer versions. Can't we have support for something (let it be Wayland, touchscreen, handheld, etc) with same UI than changing the UI again and again to support something (trend, flashy UI, etc).

I'm still working on simple CRM system https://github.com/chauhankiran/rms CRM without complexity.
chauhankiran | 1 year ago | on: Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)?
I'm creating a simple and lightweight CRM (customer relationship management) as RMS (record management system) system. Code is too early state to try.
I've take the different approach in building this system as it is traditional MVC architecture in Node with Express, Postgres, Pug, etc. as technologies.

chauhankiran | 2 years ago | on: Just Simply – Stop saying how simple things are in our docs
Even further nowadays, docs are created using Docusaurus. I don't have problem with it but documentation should be good (eye) friendly than easy to write. Why not be creative while writing docs such as -
Backbone.js - https://backbonejs.org Or https://backbonejs.org/docs/backbone.html as code annotation. jQuery - https://api.jquery.com/ Bootstrap v3.x - https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.4/ Go docs - https://pkg.go.dev/std

If you think ed is confusing or complicated, remember that Ken used ed to build Unix.

No specific reason. I just pick Grid and continue with it.

I want to know what author or others think about Elixir? I recently started learning and found it interesting and something totally new than what I know.
chauhankiran | 5 years ago | on: You can't tell people anything (2004)
It is hard to explain something which is in your mind and haven't implemented. But, for my day-to-day talk with something who don't know my situation, I explain by jumping in her situation and give the feel by comparison.
For example, if I have to explain her about how I feel today at work when I was assigned with front-end task that I don't know as I'm back-end developer and just spent complete day to solve that small problem. I usually use her context like, you're tailor and you know how to make shirt but now you assigned to do some alter work on pant because you know tailoring.

I'm facing Error 1014 CNAME Cross-User Banned error.
chauhankiran | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: What have the past 12 months taught you?
I was in meet-up where one of attendee asked a question to speaker on how to say no to customer when they have crazy requirements?
Speaker - There some times when you can't say no and in that situation you have to choose different path. One of my customer asked me to create the existing CRM like Google search page. It should show only one search box in front and all search should work like Google. I said sure and here is the budget for this change. After hearing the $$$ she just stop asking for!

The space program department[1] is under prime minister authority. So, this is the obvious one.

They have wrongly written "Microsoft Visual Studio available as a snap". It should be "Microsoft Visual Studio Code available as a snap"

chauhankiran | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: Why do tutorial writers combine 10 technologies when 1 or 2 would do?
The most frustrated things I found with nowadays tutorials is misguided prerequisite. If you read prerequisite of tutorials, you might read that famous word - "for absolute beginners" but then they throw 40 lines of program in features introduction.
The main thing we must have to fix is - "truth about prerequisite" Its okay to have different target audience than absolute beginners.

Now, I think same about making programs by AI. They do sometimes in such a way that makes future maintenance harder.
The problem comes when price is not cheap.
