prabugp··on Ask HN: Are you put off building something because it already exists?
That’s inspiring! Did you get to a point where the joy of creating something was superseded by the need to keep it alive and winning? How do you balance both? Often I worry that when a product that I feel so passionate about turns into a business, then the time I spend running the business (which I might not like) will be far more than what I’ll spend working on the product. Not sure if it will be as much fun.

Also is it still the same thing that you envisioned when you first stared?

prabugp··on Ask HN: What are the small things that you’d automate in a software dev team?
We wouldn't want it to be too easy to create a new microservice, would we? :) Kidding aside, the closest we got to was a template service with a hello world API which has all the basic configuration goodies in a repo. Anytime we need a new service, we fork it, and start working on it in a few minutes. Wouldn't that work?

Outlook meeting times on Slack is an interesting one. Do you see it more like alerts or someone else's meeting times in Slack that you can see?
