lerigneron Ask HN: Science fiction movies that are appropriate for 12 year olds?

Not a movie, but my kid really enjoyed the 28 episodes of the ‘Lost in Space’ TV series on Netflix. It’s rated 7+ but in my opinion 7 is too young. 12 should be perfect.

lerigneron BulldozAIR (YC S16) Is Asana for Construction Teams – AMA

Hi,

Short answer: YC is the perfect excuse for international teams to get away from everyday routine!

We had half the team come from Paris to Cupertino with Ali and I. Living together in a house for more than 2 months changed a lot of things:

- It was the perfect excuse for everyone to get away and completely focus on BulldozAIR (the company, the product). This allowed us to finally do the complete rewrites of part of our backend, for example (We had been postponing this on multiple occasions)

- Splitting the team in two and working in different time zones forced us to be more effective, talkative and precise. When you have team members that know each other well, the hand-overs are pretty smooth and you get to see your product evolve 24 hours a day... priceless!

- I loved the fact that all my external emails from France were stacked in my inbox when I woke up. This allowed me to answer them at once quickly and it felt like it was WAY easier to master my time for the rest of the day. With all that time "regained", Ali and I got to seat together and challenge everything like we used to when we began BulldozAIR. Understand that YC partners are really good at asking the tough questions and also tell you when you go completely off-track in your reasoning :)

Maxence, CTO @ BulldozAIR
