User retention is probably the biggest problem they have now and if that is not squared away, no way can they ever monetize or be profitable.
Or they're simply blocking the whatsappstatus's ip and a fix would actually require both client side and server side changes.
But honestly its just a messaging app and how many people really cares if "let's go grab a beer" is encrypted or not.
Why I do that? The obvious being the potential hire is required to work within a large code base (often code not written by yourself) and having the ability to read and understand quickly what a piece of code does is a great skill that not many great coders have.
Call yourself whatever you want, if the project was completed above my expectations, I'll gladly pay you whatever you asked for for the next project.
The key metric to measure is DAU, and checking that you are generating more impressions from more active users.
You may not see the potential and that's because you have no idea of what's coming up and I'm sure the founders at Parse have that piece of information and it's going to be at least a $200M exit if they execute to their vision.
Rovio is just milking this cow to the max and until they announced or released another hit game, it's all a show.
Hell yea, the valley's full of smart kids who don't know what the hell they're doing with JavaScript and thinks they're one hell of a hacker when they discovered that they can do shit with a few lines of JS and trumpeting on the how great NodeJS or whatever the greatest and newest shiny framework out there.
If you don't really understand scoping in JS, please don't use node and hit yourself on your foot and then blog the cool shit out of it.
I'm just saying, no hard feelings. :)
