maybe common sense was the wrong phrase. It seems like many of these solutions are just basic answers to really simplistic problems: Why is no one visiting our site? Because it is outdated, not optimized, and has no content = Make some improvements

They are both password managers and will have similar features. Google "lastpass vs dashlane" and you will find several comparisons

Isn't most of this common sense stuff?

1) Modern website with seo

2) produce compelling content

3) reduce redundant tools and streamline processes

4) advertise your product

5) advertise your business

6) knowing your customers and decision makers and advertising appropriately

7) understanding your competition

"If you build it, they will come." should be "If you build it, they will come, after you tell them what it does"

No, cold calls are something my father did. I am a Growth Hacking Ninja Rockstar.

dashlane?

> Based on your reply, you had a bad consultant and you used the wrong tool to load the data

My experience is that the tools and the "experts" leave a lot to be desired.

I wanted to move schema and data from the customer's server to my server so I could troubleshoot and issue the users were having.

The customer had 3 full time Oracle DBAs and I contracted a few high priced consultants to help with this job.

It took 6 days to move it.

Oracle isn't hated because people don't understand how databases work, it is hated because it is difficult to work with. Things may be different now (we were using 10g) but it feels like the most basic tasks take days of work.

passion may be overrated when viewed under the "systems vs goals" umbrella: www.businessinsider.com/scott-adams-on-goals-and-passion-2015-2 (view as one page for a better experience)

do you consider yourself successful using this system?

> Which way is this trending?

I think we are trending backwards. More people are participating due to smartphones and easy to use apps but there is still a huge skill gap.

Management Theory\Organizational Behavior are taught in university but this is a terrible article.

> why is there no public official who runs on a digital strategy?

Most people lack basic computer literacy

> truly direct democracy, that is 100% open and transparent

reddit, facebook, etc are all gamed by third parties

> less effort than it would take to dismantle the electoral college, which has resulted in the opposite of direct democracy

the founding fathers didn't want a direct democracy. Madison says “Hence it is that democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and in general have been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths … A republic, by which I mean a government in which a scheme of representation takes place, opens a different prospect and promises the cure for which we are seeking."

it is better than "Mozzarella" or "Fox Fire" which I have heard numerous times

good luck!

> So when I see shit like this, I always wonder why is it so hard to find a design job?

Because it faster and cheaper to pay one person to do both the design and the work to make it a reality.

There is also a supply and demand issue. Too many designers, not enough front-end devs (which is why you can easily find jobs as an employee)

if you want to be a designer only, I would suggest striking out on your own and hiring out for the work you dislike.

no. if you experience these types of rules, you are in the wrong building and need to leave

google "refurbished servers"

eg: the only valid use of tables is my valid use of tables

> a power user might feel that they focus on superficial things

battery life affects everyone and they had the competency and integrity to call apple out multiple times

this is dumb

I'm sure that the best way to reach out to rural Americans is another "scathing lecture" from someone who doesn't live in their community.

> Multitouch/Scrolling

The bigger leap was from resistive to capacitive screens which ultimately allowed for multitouch and great scrolling feel. Many credit card machines still use resistive screens which is why it is so unnatural and awkward to sign

> Fully featured web browser

Probably the biggest innovation

> Syncing

It could sync but many things required iTunes which sucked

Also, the original iPhone lacked things like MMS and, for some unknown reason, a proper call history screen.

> What am I missing?

The human element.

We make an application that makes use of folder on a network share. One of the developers here types up instructions each time we install a new site. If the customer has trouble or opts to have our help, they will connect remotely to create a folder and some sub folders. This takes anywhere from a few minutes to over an hour if they have trouble connecting remotely.

I mentioned in a developer meeting that we should create an install script for the network folders. It would save the company hundreds of hours or work.

One developed asked how I would do it. A generally competent developer, who has worked with files and folders for many years, asked how we could deliver a program to create folders.

I nearly walked out (and we still dont have a 4 line script to create the folders we need)

I bet no one at Medium has ever thought about that before. You are a genius.

they have had years. time to give up on this dream

vb6 for a desktop application

> this is WinXP-IE6 all over again.

This is logical. If you have limited developer resources, it makes sense to target the most popular combos first. Until we have true "write once run anywhere" it will always be this way.

"you're holding it wrong" sounds pretty childish to me

> but Recology currently does not have the funds for it

And you know this how?

terrible?
