What is the product here?

You’re wrong on so many levels (I was born and raised in a 3rd world country and survived 4 years of war under siege). I am not a Schweizer Goldjunge, and even if I was, suggesting that developers sho…

I'd venture to guess that speed/simplicity of installing an app is also something users subconsciously factor in. The faster/smoother the installation, the less appreciation they have f…

There is very little to no awareness of what it takes to create software. We, the developers who have released our work for free, have allowed this to happen. It feels like mobbing, heck, we keep read…

Of course not, but it wouldn't hurt if we all got better at valuing our work more. Heck, majority of developers I worked with are decent, loving people, who could simply never dare to ask to be c…

The things are submitted by users. Things to show is being selected using an algorithm similar to the one of HN (where age of submission, number of votes etc) play a role. Nothing fancy about this pro…

Shouldn't experts be more politically active?

Related rant: I really gave StackOverflow a try, and I have no intention of writing an answer ever again. I took 30 minutes to write a very detailed answer to a question, only to find out that the que…

This lets any PDF File you upload be reached by scanning a QR Code. 4 days give or take, where commits were being made at 2 in the morning. I did not work on this for the full 4 days, having a 10 mont…
