• Ask HN: Is a platform to teach us business/entrepreneurship should exist?

  Stanford university: How to start a startup? - The course is 20 videos, some with a speaker or two and some with a small panel. It is around 1,000 minutes of content if you watch it all.

• Anyone have tips on hiring a manger to run a business for you?

  You can do it. Go for it. Just be ready to do what everyone else isn’t willing to do by working hard consistently to that goal. Are you familiar with GAAP? Typically that’s something you cover in Acct 1&2 in a business course and unless you want to end up bankrupt waiting 10 years for that to come off your personal record then you’ll need to seriously consider hiring professionals. I’ve made those mistakes and... Source: over 1 year ago

• What do you really think of your daily standup?

  My new job recently pulled in https://geekbot.com/ to handle stand ups. Answer a couple basic questions when you login, and they’re all sent to a central channel. I’m not big on that type of communication in general, but it takes maybe 30 seconds each morning. Source: over 1 year ago

• As an IC, is there anything I can do about super cheerful team members using up meetings time?

  We use Geekbot to help standups. The feedback from each dev goes into a channel, then we talk about things that need to be addressed or things we're working on. Source: over 1 year ago

• Scrum Has Failed the Developers

  Back in 2005, I remember working on startups running on Scrum principles. It worked well at the time, we where able to ship, grow the team, and move forward with a nice few-features-per-week cadence, working remotely, on a small team; less than 10. Tt always worked fine, but very slow, as all-dev-things were at the time. I worked with ActiveColab in 2007, Skype 2007, Yammer 2009, Trello 2011, Pivotal Tracker 2013,... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
