Description
Derrick discovered his marketing and promotional tasks were eating up too much of his time and mind, so he took a break from them. He shifted his focus to the actual development of his product, Level. He made some forward strides on the product’s design.
Ben decided to give notice and leave his current job for an opportunity to develop a Screenhero alternative. Screenhero is a pair programming tool that has a rough history with Slack. So, he has a co-founder, new technology findings from Stanford, and encouragement from original developers. Could anything be more aligned?! Ben’s alternative and Derrick’s Level is a match made in heaven.
Today’s Topics Include:
How Derrick is refactoring and optimizing data model items
Is having one identity the right way to go or do people want to establish different identities within different communities?
Ben encourages Derrick to not automatically do the opposite of Slack
Derrick is trying to envision what people may request and be able to customize
Shifting from the anonymous to identified Web
Why Derrick decided to rewrite some database migration history
Derrick is developing Level’s registration and sign-up process
Derrick is on a development roller coaster every day; getting back on the yoga train
Development teams will become increasingly distributed, so the customer base for Ben’s alternative will only expand
How Ben feels about the technology risk factor with his alternative tool
Ben will be learning C++ to write the codebase and maintain it
