opendomain··on Ask HN: Developers, do you use Postman for API testing?
I have used it for years, but they recently crippled it. it is unusable now.

SoapUI seem like it is too tied down to xml.

does anyone have suggestions?

opendomain··on Need to setup a dev team. any suggestions
What are you building? Do you already have a preferred tech stack? Do you need security clearance or banking?

I am founder and CTO of a startup, and I have hired and grown a few teams. Contact me directly at cto @ nosql dot com.

Some general advice: It is ok to hire individuals remotely, but do not start with time and materials. Pay for work product. Get a lot of quotes and hire multiple people and keep the best Use the full SDLC tools to ensure quality: git, tests, stories, Ui mocks, etc It is ok to choose a cheap database or other core tech, but design the system to be able to change. Using the cloud will be faster and cheaper to start, but more expensive in the long run.

opendomain··on Launch HN: Electric Air (YC W23) – Heat pump sold directly to homeowners
I love startups, but the value proposition is not here. I just had a heat pump installed and it was a much better price and higher efficiency. What is the benefit of direct to consumers is you are going to charge more? What makes your heat pumps better? Hepa filtering? Smart controls? They all have that.

Is the market niche esthetics? They do look nice - maybe this company is trying to be the Apple of heat pumps? Charge more because of looks?

This is a serious question - where is the innovation?

opendomain··on Ask HN: Unemployed for 2 years, refreshing .NET/JS skills
My advice - don't wait. Start applying.

opendomain··on Web3 Tokenized Coupon - We will like to hear our community opinion
"A beg coin"? you need a better brand.

As for the idea - why do you ned to tokenize coupons? To make sure that they are limited? What if you create tokens for a coupon and it is not used? Is the value lost forever? How will you get partners to use your APIs? Through an expensive blockchain?

Most importantly - what value does this give to the end user?

opendomain··on Ask HN: Having trouble getting senior applicants, wondering what to do about it
The problem for me is not that I am being asked to do take home work - the issue is that I do not know how engaged the employer is. I have done the work and been ghosted. Hell - I have done the work and received an offer but no one ever talked about my solution. I also have had the other end of the spectrum- interviews that ask me to correct production code - because they can not solve it.

Maybe the answer is to pay me for my time at a consulting rate.

opendomain··on Dangerous Gift
So will ICANN fix this?
opendomain··on Ask HN: Are You Lucky or Unlucky?
I am very lucky.

My definition of lucky is the ability to survive bad events while making the most of good events.

For example, when I was younger, I fell 30 feet and broke my arm. I choose to see this as good luck because some people have died when they fell that far.
