Ask HN: Software- Better to focus on or complement with?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13858596From your experience, what advantages/disadvantages are there to: 1) Majoring in electrical engineering and physics, minoring in software development 2) Majoring in software engineering, minoring in electrically engineering and physicsContext: I'm a first year engineering student and would like to pick either Software Engineering (electrical engineering with computer science) or Engineering Physics (electrical engineering with physics). I already have a couple years experience programming, really enjoy it, and is why I went into the program. But, I've also really enjoyed physics and math classes and they've given me a strong desire to learn more about physics. Intuitively, I think that having a strong physics background opens the door to more problems I could solve with software. However, I don't want to to discount the value of studying software engineering. I don't have the experience to see what kind of walls and limitations each choice offers.

Ask HN: Mentor/Advisor for post-revenue EdTech Company?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13793416Hello,EdTech is a wonky industry! Many downsides... but rewarding (social + profit) if you can carve out a foothold and grow your installed base.We're a small, bootstrapped, EdTech company in a niche space (think desktop application for a humanities field) that's looking for mentorship from an experienced EdTech veteran (either on the tech or business side). We've grown annual revenue to ~$600-700K (~$400K of that is ARR) across a variety of accounts: K-12, Universities, large publics, small privates, etc.Product engagement and customer satisfaction is great; we have low churn at an expensive price point + high conversion rates on pilot trials, but we're struggling to level up and grow to the next stage (which we define as $1MM+ ARR or an installed base across 500-1000 schools).There seems to be many older/experienced operators in the B2B and B2C spaces. Finding mentors in EdTech has been difficult for us.If you have a background in EdTech and are interested in mentoring a small, but hMar 4, 2017 11:10 PM

It's all open sourcehttps://github.com/higherdotteam/kidbankthe basic idea is:1) Users use iOS app to seed our database of every ATM in the world. The app uploads a photo and the location.2) Once we have enough phase II starts and the iOS app uses AR to show a virtual Kidbank ATM next to every real ATM.3) Kids learn about banking and have fun making pretend withdrawals at every ATM in the world just like grownups can.If you want to help testflight the iOS you are welcome to!Mar 1, 2017 7:31 AM

It's taboo to plug your startup or idea. Why?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13733654Since starting my own business (I own a drone company) it seems taboo to be honest about plugging what I have to sell. When you start a small business and have no budget for ads you need free ways to get your idea/website out there. If you built an indie game, app, Have a prototype, have a youtube channel etc and want to spread the work but you recieve nothing but hate online it can be a disaster. I thought this was a problem. So I started Runway16.us its a place to plug your idea and find early adopters looking for new products & websites to spend money on. Runway16 is not my business or source of income. I just put it together to help other people post their ideas, startups, and not feel guilty about it. Just to prove I'm real my name is Daniel and I own DroneVideoJunkie.com. If you have any recommendations for Runway16.us or just want to plug your idea I wouldn't mind constructive feedback or interesting content.Feb 25, 2017 8:28 PM

Ask HN: Stepping Away from Day to Day Development, How to Manage?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13289614Background:I joined on as one of the early employees at a startup a couple years ago. I liked the idea, had previously worked with one of the founders and took the lead developer role. Things have gone well, the development team has expanded, hiring a few really talented devs and many other quality contributors and along the way a VP of Engineering who is far better at the people-oriented parts of running and building a dev team.As those people have come up to speed and the product solidified I've handled off more and more and now find myself mostly stepping back from development. I'm still in discussions about technical plans, but now I'm also spending time in conversations with PMs about new products/directions, timelines and planning of feature rollouts, and being brought into larger sales deals/partnerships as a bridge to the technology side of the house, speaking on behalf of the company at various events, serving as brand expert, and mentoring up younger devs.Part of me feels likDec 31, 2016 5:17 AM

When someone asks about your product and you failed to get his attention in one sentence.I think you should revisit your product and make it better and strong in at least one aspect.2) Have at least one big differentiating featureIf you have a competing product which is already popular.Doing small improvements will not make users insDec 16, 2016 9:52 PM
