Totally agree, and I've also voted both ways before. But I also would caution against going too far on the "both sides" thinking. There are some obvious examples of regimes in the pas…

I wonder if you pick a company that is both small (<20 people) and doing something you believe in if you'd have a different experience. At a startup, you get to have a large impact on the comp…

All the places Microsoft has shipped awesome products and won the market didn't have as strong monopoly (or duopoly) effects as in the mobile space. I don't think we'll see a MS phone …

Ask for a refund of all the charges, people don't realize that a lot of companies do that these days. You should be upset if they refuse (assuming you genuinely weren't using their premium …

That's awesome, I feel like many companies increase prices over time trying to squeeze more revenue, but that usually requires monopoly power. I remember from economics that in an idealized, effi…

Ah I see, well Chargebee would give a UI where the user can change from 3 -> 5 (pro-ration if they're in the middle of a cycle, generating invoices, scheduling the change in the future if desi…

We use Chargebee (backed by Stripe). As far as I know, in terms making a page that helps explain the different features available, none of these services help with that. Chargebee does provide a hos…

The web client has never for me on Ubuntu.

I've been using Jitsi and Google Hangouts for years, and in terms of reliability/quality, I can't really tell any difference. Haven't used Zoom much. The nice thing about about Jit…

In my experience, users don't report minor UX flaws. These kind of recording services can show, for example, users rage clicking what looks like a button for a couple seconds before finding the r…

Agreed, I'm way more willing to give feedback after the decision has been communicated.

Forcing people to keep their eyes open during ads happened in Black Mirror, the "15 Million Merits" episode.

For sure! Just emailed you.

Sounds good! Chargebee and Heroku are the 2 paid services that have saved us the most time. I'm a champion of your service. While I have your attention, some unsolicited feedback: Chargebee…

Exactly. I find myself wondering why Stripe is still in the picture, seems like they're doing the easy part. We use the above-mentioned things, and they also take care of providing a UI where cu…

We use Chargebee backed by Stripe. We've been quite happy with Chargebee overall and would recommend them. The only downside is their customer support is very bizarre sometimes and a bit frustrat…

The one thing that has persuaded me the most has been vscode. Until switching to that, I had assumed Microsoft incapable of producing something with excellent design/UX. Also it's open sourc…

Just from own experience, startups these days pay quite well. At my own startup, I just tell engineers I'll pay as much as their current company (excludes some of the salaries at the FAANG compan…

Perhaps you can set your IDE to gray out the types.

> However I think it’s important to have used both for a while so you can make a good decision what you prefer. Exactly, I always found static typing to be annoying clutter and Python seemed to wor…

Also very happy with this choice. I'm on my second Dell Precision. Also nice that Ubuntu comes pre-installed and is officially supported.

Good comparison. I compared to Gedit which just has unusual UX conventions. As soon as I heard of vscode, I switched over.
