    AMA: Full Time Staff Software Engineer

    PEOPLE 
    I totally agree with this, it's something Slack still struggles with. Thanks! I definitely want to keep in touch, would love to check in and see your progress every once and a while and maybe we can keep each other motivated

    AMA: Full Time Staff Software Engineer

    PEOPLE 
    Thanks for the response DMass! There have been quite a lot of layoffs, my team alone lost 2 out of the 6 engineers we had. Overall I think my pillar lost 10% of its engineers. I personally was not impacted, though. Slack employees are the real power users of Slack, so I think it's way easier...

    AMA: Full Time Staff Software Engineer

    PEOPLE 
    Thanks for reading MJ! I don't know if there was a specific FTE, but it was an accumulation of a few things: 1. Seeing the $ amount ARR I was providing Slack for projects I worked on (e.g. these features are worth millions, but I am not getting paid millions) 2. Reading self-help books on...

    AMA: Full Time Staff Software Engineer

    PEOPLE 
    You all have provided me TONS of information and guidance towards my path to financial freedom. I do not yet have much to offer (yet) as an entrepreneur but I wanted to see if I can somehow return the favor to anyone who could use anything from what I do already know. I've learned if you take...

    Why won't people come back to my app?

    IDEA EXECUTION QUESTION 
    Once there's enough users it'll be easy to share some anonymous high level analytics! I'll definitely keep y'all updated on the journey, thanks for the support and feedback

    Why won't people come back to my app?

    IDEA EXECUTION QUESTION 
    This is gold! Thank you for giving me a ton of ideas to iterate on and, "Try it. If it doesn't work you can always switch it back." that's a great point, not sure why I didn't just think about that. I like the idea especially of doing the emails out much later after the submissions start coming...

    Why won't people come back to my app?

    IDEA EXECUTION QUESTION 
    Thank you so much for the feedback! I've actually been using ChatGPT for responses especially when it's slow Couldn't have come at a more perfect time. And a good point about the name (it was even longer before) but I'll start thinking of something that rolls off the tongue more. Also I...

    Why won't people come back to my app?

    IDEA EXECUTION QUESTION 
    Thank you so much for the feedback! On not seeing the answers: The reasoning behind having them hidden was to incentivize people to write answers (this was especially important in the beginning to get people to add stuff). After submitting you can see others answers. But it's a good point...

    Why won't people come back to my app?

    IDEA EXECUTION QUESTION 
    Thanks for the tips @Skroob! I'll work on the iOS version up next, I imagine the hard part next will be convincing people to download it :P :D

    Why won't people come back to my app?

    IDEA EXECUTION QUESTION 
    The closest ones I could think of is Yik Yak or Blind when it comes to anonymously confiding in a way. They both have their own niches (colleges / tech communities respectively). I'm not sure what they do outside of having a niche to get people coming back, maybe the niche in itself allows for...

    Why won't people come back to my app?

    IDEA EXECUTION QUESTION 
    Hey all! I'm new to the fastlane and have been working on some side projects to test out some ideas I've had. The current one I'm working on I've called: Internet Confessional Summary of app: You anonymously confide in the internet and find community in others’ confessions. Once you answer you...

    It wasn't a question but a recommendation (Zero to Sold by Arvid Kahl), but I appreciate the tips nonetheless! Thanks @WillHurtDontCare

    Best Book for Aspiring Tech Founders/Entrepreneurs

    BOOKS 
    I just finished the book Zero to Sold which is by far the best actionable entrepreneur book I've read for tech founders. While a lot of others focus on audience, market, sales, etc this one specifically had advice on how to build your tech stack and scale. Highly recommend it especially if...

    JUST DID IT!

    EXECUTION 
    After my awakening / kick in the a$$ I finally got to work! I just released my first app after hacking away on it the past 3 months. There's not many users, it's brand new and has some bugs, but it's out and already getting feedback! It's so cool seeing how something I made is really impacting...
