I don't think I've ever gotten a manual action for this
Really??? Ok awesome. The docs make it seem like it’s some super bad thing and that they specifically made the index api to fix.
There's no wrong or right answer here. I guess do what you'd like someone else to do if the roles were reversed.
For me personally, if it's someone I know, I'd reach out and see how they feel about it. I have a 101 ideas I could be working on, so I wouldn't want to potentially hurt a relationship by working on something that someone else might feel is too similar. Especially if it's a valued relationship.
But at the same time I don't want to artificially limit myself, if it's a natural extension of a business I'm already doing.
I don't know the person - he seems nice though and we only had friendly exchanges on twitter etc.
I guess at this point, to avoid speculation, I'll tell here. It is @levelsio - and the startup is NomadList.
The idea I got isn't focusing on nomads at all, so in a way it isn't even close enough to be a competitor...but then you never know how you might pivot, etc.
@jasonleow - FYI.
I'll reach out to Pieter I guess.
It's not something we currently have. My todo list for WIP is quite long and I think this will only appeal to a rather small audience versus some of the other stuff I want to add/improve, so I probably won't add it anytime soon.
I'll keep in mind though. I have planned to rework some of notification preferences in general (what you get emailed about and what not, etc). So if I work on, maybe I'll look at this too. But no promises 😅
Appreciate the request though! Hope my answer doesn't discourage you from sharing more requests as I do consider all of them.
I tend to be more productive by myself, but I'd be down to occasionally join. So definitely don't adjust the location for me, but when you find something I'll pop by every now and then 👍
@amirmxt you still in BKK? We're still supposed to meetup 😄
Asking a question like this is a great way :)
In addition to the many great answers posted already, I also suggest you try out the video hangouts we now started doing weekly! They should automatically show up on the homepage a few days before they start.
They are hosted by @rpish so feel free to ping her beforehand if there's anything you'd like to discuss during the call but aren't comfortable interjecting during call.
You can also join with video/mic off if you prefer to just listen in. There's a small chat window to chat during the call as well.
It’s a judgment call we cannot make for you. However I will share the following two points:
Ask yourself how much your current computer is slowing you down, how much time you would save with the upgrade, and how much you value that time.
You don’t need the newest model. I would highly recommend an Apple Silicon chip at this point, but even the older M1’s are still plenty fast for what you’ll be using it for. So if you can get a good deal on those, consider it.
Oh, and this is “easy for me to say” but IMO you should stop thinking in average monthly salaries. You’re an entrepreneur. Those types of averages don’t apply to you.
You might have wildly higher expenses and wildly higher income than those around you.
Online businesses are a relatively level playing field. You can compete with someone in NYC where the average salary will be much higher. Your code doesn’t care. Customers don’t care.
