Updated the link on the page. It should open App Store now.

Sorry about what happened. For me the download link always worked. I'll look into it immediately.

Anyways this is an app to discuss anything with your neighbors without sharing your identity. Whether you want to find out about rent hikes, parking problems or anything you wonder regarding your community, you can use Neighbors app.

Thanks for taking time to try it. - Do you think importing data from csv can make the process faster? - Also do you think adding country on the fly would be useful in case user wants to add a country?

I posted the following side projects, but didn't get enough attention:

- Turkish Poncho (The first Turkish messenger bot for weather forecasts) story: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11913204 link: http://havadurumu.herokuapp.com/ comment: I wasn't expecting any new users anyway. This is only for Turkish facebook users.

- Pour – Simple and secure Azure diagnostics for C# and Node.js story: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11021606 link: http://www.trypour.com/ comment: Similar to previous project, this has a limited audience as well (Azure) I think.

I guess I need to think for bigger audiences.

Being an Azure user for a while, I felt the pain with diagnostics. It is obvious from StackOverflow questions too. Diagnostics is a mess and you don't have a really easy, hands-on way to log something and read it right away. Plus, I really wanted to make something useful for developers, give it back basically.

First, I wrote a nuget library and pushed it out. What I found is, there are barely people who care about such library/service and its possible value to their services/applications. I thought an npm module could make a difference, but still no luck. I started to worry about the size of my target people and market. Is Azure market that small or the community still hasn't evolved that much?

I have been working with Microsoft technologies, especially with Azure for a while. I discovered that there is a gap in diagnostics space. Logs of your Azure services are not easily accessible, let alone searching and filtering. It is a real headache to get a quick view of your service (any problems, exceptions etc). Surprisingly, the existing solutions require you to depend on a long list of binaries and go through many steps of configurations.

Pour is a platform for simple and secure Azure log management. It solves this fundamental issue of developers with a simple, secure and fast solution. Please take a look and let me know.

My job is destroying me and I need some advice

kaymakam — Tue, 23 Jun 2015 07:50:58 +0000

For the last 9 months I have been working with two senior developers and a principal team leader and the overall experience is the worst. The work is a nightmare now. I am not sure how to handle the situation and I need some advice.

Pro tip: These are my biased opinions, but I try to give some concrete examples to give you some idea.

One of the senior guys is the “tech lead“. He doesn’t know basics of online services and he acts like he knows what he is doing, which is not the case (he picked SOAP over REST because he likes it, he likes to define things static). He gets offended pretty easily if you question his approach. He has this inspirational driven development skills though. Every day he comes up with a new design. Even he changed the design of the system during the design review we had with stakeholders.

The other senior guy is technically strong, but his social skills are out of whack. His mood oscillates often. In case of a bad mood, he treats you like an idiot. I remember him entering my office, taking a chair, sitting and looking at me as if he is going to interrogate. He never accepts failure. If something is wrong, it is definitely someone else.

Team leader doesn’t have much idea about what we are doing. He is more of a manager than a developer. He randomizes developers with the ideas he heard from others. Anytime there is an open question, he talks about his previous project. However, he doesn’t seem to have full details.

Project/system is not performing well or scaling either (each request payload and response is read/written twice for instance). I have been raising questions about certain decisions (which made the tech lead guy hate me by the way), but team leader doesn’t have enough context and knowledge to deduce the actual problems.

I tried finding another job outside the company (I cannot just leave due to visa requirements), I failed. I am looking for an internal transfer now. However, the frustration and stress is killing me.
