Great product, much awaited! Feature request: Maybe consider adding terraform scripts or such for easier self hosting?

Ask HN: Why is Google Meet so much worse than Zoom?

harshgupta — Tue, 29 Sep 2020 16:49:07 +0000

As an engineer, I do not understand this. Google has unlimited software talent, compute and money. Any ideas why they haven't been able to catchup to Zoom?

Congrats on the launch! Curious, how do you plan to acquire customers? Wouldn't hospital systems want to keep the treatment within their system or partner hospitals?

Hi Peter, I am on STEM extension part of my OPT.

Can I start a company and fundraise on my current visa?

If not, can I be a founder and work as a CTO under an American CEO since technically that is still a supervised job?

New comment by harshgupta in "Ask HN: How do you measure contributions to a coding project?"

harshgupta — Wed, 06 Feb 2019 19:44:26 +0000

I found one measure: Hits of Code

It measures the "the amount of times programmers touch the lines". Source : https://www.yegor256.com/2014/11/14/hits-of-code.html

Ask HN: How do you measure contributions to a coding project?

harshgupta — Wed, 06 Feb 2019 19:41:20 +0000

I am curious to know what metrics do people use to measure relative contributions to a project. Bare git metrics like Lines of Code, Number of commits seem to be partial (and at worse) dangerous sources of accounting.

Not sure. The attached readings and class notes are great resources though.

> As there are more than an average number of stupidities there.

Please post more meaningful comments. Sure it doesn't have static typing or performance of C, but it has a stable framework in every conceivable application (Web Dev, machine learning, CLI, you name it) and works as a top notch scripting language. This is not "stupidity", it was by design to make it batteries included and easy to use with a tradeoff with the above things.

New comment by harshgupta in "Fail"

harshgupta — Sat, 01 Sep 2018 22:04:04 +0000

I am pretty sold on the idea that failure of ambition = good, failure of sloth = bad. This post seems to be in line with that.

This may be an opinionated article, but the facts it cites are real and credible. I wonder why its flagged?
