Disclosure: I work on this :)

I'm on the founding team of Options AI. We're taking a fresh approach and focusing on removing the complexity and friction involved with creating and managing options trades. Our customers tend to use options to generate income rather than the YOLO trades seen on reddit. The interface is visual and translates the information embedded in the chain so you can deploy smarter strategies and manage portfolio risk. Visit our site for more info: https://www.optionsai.com

It's $5 per trade - any strategy or size but I've added a referral link with 2 months free if you would like to give us a try. https://id.options.ai/register?code=hackernews

The Modern CTO podcast by Joel Beasley is a great resource for this (https://moderncto.io/). Lots of insight from tech leaders across many industries.

Unfortunately, it is not just Tesla that is moving controls over to touch screen. The latest Honda vehicles have moved the majority of knobs to a touch interface.

That is the core of their product. However, there are a lot of by-products and back office software needed to run the company. As a consumer, you most likely are only perceiving a small percentage of the technology running a company.

- Applications for all devices Netflix is on (TVs, Phones, Displays, Roku, Apple TV, etc.) and all the support around it.

- Recommendation and analytical software within Netflix. Not even accounting for other areas of the company where ML can be applied.

- Billing and financial software for Netflix users and partners

- Proprietary/internal customer support software

- Content management system, along with all the international and legal challenges around that.

- Any/all software used by their marketing teams

Wouldn't businesses just raise prices to offset the basic income, rendering it useless?

In addition to this, reading and being able to understand other people's code will provide great returns. You learn about styling, coding standards, architecture, patterns, etc that you might have never stumbled upon if you attempted to code everything yourself.

Looks much better! Thanks for the quick update :D

Small tip: It could just be me, but the color of some of the text makes it difficult to read.

This is very true. I live in inland east bay (Walnut Creek) and my BART commute is still a few minutes shorter than my MUNI commute from when I was living in the Outer Richmond district.

I would say this is entirely dependent on your use case. If you are running some simple web services in a cloud environment, it is generally cheaper to run them on a Linux system. Granted, if you are developing in .NET, you have probably already forked over some heavy cash for the development tools (Visual Studio, the OS, ReSharper, etc...)

The key trade off is deciding if it is worth it to sacrifice compatibility with certain libraries for the development speed and costs of not having to learn an entirely new tech stack for yourself or your team.

As for running ASP.NET on Mono, I believe that both are mature and capable enough of running in a production environment. The mono website has a page listing various companies using Mono (some with ASP.NET): http://www.mono-project.com/Companies_Using_Mono

By default, Heroku allows roles on their shared database plans to view limited info about databases on the same machine. Stuff like name, type and owner are visible.

Here is a sample response when attempting to do anything with a database other than your own:

FATAL: permission denied for database "xxxxxxxxxxxx" DETAIL: User does not have CONNECT privilege. Previous connection kept

This stack has no soul.
