sfkaoson Show HN: Ulaxi calculates whether UberX, Lyft, or Taxi is best for your trip

It's one thing working for a company that actually depends on making revenue every quarter - its another working for an organization that just needs to check a box in order to receive a budget for the next fiscal year. Never again...
