According to the source article in Wikipedia: "“We had very limited money,” Lili Khosrowshahi recalled of the family’s early days in the U.S. “I’d never worked before. I started working full-time, and every penny we earned was put in Dara [and two other son’s] education… and it was expensive. I remember at the time coffee was $0.15 [a cup], and I wouldn’t buy a cup of coffee for myself.”"

A lot of centimillionaires and billionaires tell a story like this, people usually take them with a pinch of salt.

I see it was her first ever media appearance. A lot of expensive PR went into those quotes you're repeating.


He also has a cousin who is the SVP of Engineering at Slack!

I got pretty excited about trying this out, since I've been using a no longer maintained (and pretty buggy) app called Sequel Pro.

But, Beekeeper kind of seems slow/clunky? I ran a simple query in our prod DB that returned 906 rows x 60 columns – the app completely froze up and I couldn't even scroll down to the next few rows...


Switch to Sequel Pro nightly build. You can install it with homebrew. It’s very stable despite the nightly moniker. I haven’t had a single issue with it and it resolved several issues I was having with the regular release.


Yesterday after using Sequel Pro for years, I decided to give TablePlus a try and have been pleasantly surprised. Sequel Pro seems a bit snappier is some instances like when you run a few dozen (or thousand) queries from the editor, but TablePlus query auto complete is so much better than Sequel Pro, and I really like having to confirm changes rather than them running in real time as I update/create/delete things.


The nightlies have a lot of UI bugs, Filtering options disappear randomly, the left column is kinda weird etc.

But still with all those UI bugs I prefer it over any other client.


I have not encountered any of that. And ditto on still preferring it.


I think wide tables are a performance problem with the table lib were using (tabulator). There may be ways to improve it. Frankly I don't have a 60 wide table to test with.

Can you file an issue so I don't forget?


You would be hard-pressed to find a list anywhere. That being said, MoPub is a significant player in the AdTech market – you'll most likely find that they're integrated with most major apps that have in-app advertising. The only foolproof way is to really delete any apps that serve you ads.


It's essentially a web app/UI that allows advertisers to actually set up their advertising campaigns that run on devices.

DSPs are integrated with a host of a data providers and exchanges that give advertisers the ability to target people based on location, demographics, what articles they're reading, etc.


Great points! What would you do in situations where your engineers aren't all that interested in customer conversations?

In the past, I've tried to bring in our engineers to user interview/feedback sessions or customer meetings, but most of them didn't seem that interested in coming again.


In that case, I would frame the conversation as a problem solving session. You can do the legwork of customer inputs, cross team talk, management buy-in etc. And once you zero in on the problem (and have it prioritised) just talk to engineer and together brainstorm the ways to solve it.


I used to work with a lot of SaaS companies at my previous consulting company, these are the most common tools I saw:

- Sales: Salesforce, Gong.io, Intercom, Outreach, Highspot

- Product Development: Github, Jira, Pendo or Heap, Sketch, InVision

- HR: BambooHR, Lever

- Other: G Suite, Slack

That being said, this is what's the most common, not what's the best that's available. There's plenty of other SaaS products that might be better for your company and use cases!


Looks like it hasn't changed much... which is a good thing!


Design that stands the test of time :)


It's still as bad as it always was, if that's what you mean. :P

http://hckrnews.com/ is much better.


https://hackerweb.app is also nice if you'd like to skim through the story list and the top level comment threads using a better interface (YMMV). You can also expand specific comment threads.


good/bad is subjective. I like HN just the way it is, and I don't actually prefer http://hckrnews.com

There's a page out there somewhere, where someone curates a list of all the alternative HN portals.


I was expecting to see a very basic website, turns out only the title has changed :)


Would highly recommend checking out `The Undoing Project` by Michael Lewis. It's a biography (of sorts) about Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman that has excellent stories about their fruitful collaboration in behavioral economics.


BTW, I didn't make this - I thought it was a really cool tool and wanted to share it.
