Donmario··on Ask HN: What's the coolest tech you got this Christmas?
Apple watch. Actually it's more than a gadget for me now. It's quite convenient for taking calls, managing music, messages etc.
Donmario··on Ask HN: What was your greatest accomplishment in 2016?
A big one for me was to finally put a product out that I've created http://www.curie.me/.

I never was able to finish anything. With Curie it's also an important one for me, and probably because of that I was so determinated do finish it. One of the biggest reasons was that I knew that the product could help other prevent having the same back problems as I had.

I worked on Curie with 3 other co-founders for nearly 1,5 years now after hours, but we never had the energy or time to get it done. Because I was feeling that my teammates didn't put so much effort in it I finally decided after a couple of month trying to motivate them to let them go. As you can imagine it was really hard to do that, and I felt in a kind of depression about that I knew I needed to be make Curie happen.

Now it's in open beta and soon we'll be launching a chrome extension.

Please share your thoughts on the idea and product. Thanks!
Donmario··on Ask HN: AgTech – What's the best way to gain domain knowledge?
Sure, that's a good idea, but a little bit time consuming and we would like to start with our own product next year. How do you identify specific issues that you can tackle in AgTech?
Donmario··on Ask HN: AgTech – What's the best way to gain domain knowledge?
Thanks, are there any European conferences that you would recommend? We're from (Poland)
Donmario··on Ask HN: AgTech – What's the best way to gain domain knowledge?
I get that you have to network with people. My question was if there is something that you need to do differently that the standard way of networking, attending conferences etc?

What are the tips that can help you get domain knowledge faster?

Donmario··on Ask HN: Posture – what do you do during work to avoid back pain?
What do you think of http://www.curie.me/?
Donmario··on Ask HN: Can you deliver value faster using Ruby or .NET?
Actually both team are not split into technology stacks, but rather interdisciplinary teams like one for Marketing and the other one for Sales. Each of them building some different functionality in Ruby and .NET. In each team there is like 1 .NET developer and Ruby dev, and this causes an issue when someone wants to go on holiday, as the team practically stops development.

Unifying technology eliminates or reduces that risk.

Donmario··on Ask HN: Can you deliver value faster using Ruby or .NET?
Thanks gtsteve.

It's a company that delivers applications for clients.

Donmario··on Ask HN: Any unfinished side projects to give away?
I have a gamification platform like https://badgeville.com/ that we've worked on some time ago. It was like 70 percent done.

Donmario··on Ask HN: I need a standing desk. Should I buy or build?
You can buy a finished product for $350! The side is in Polish but and the delivery time can take up to 3-4 weeks, but it's worth the price. I have one myself. They also have an English website but the price is twice as much, don't ask me why. http://www.ajprodukty.pl/meble-biurowe/biurka/biurka-z-elekt...
Donmario··on Ask HN: How do you do home security?
I'm from Poland and I use solid doors and rolling shutters as described by davidw. I also have an Satel Grade-3 alarm system (one of the best systems in the world) that is basically used in banking institutions with sensors that are pet save. The funny thing is that I don't own any expensive stuff, so it's just for our personal safety.
