I wrote an electron app and I just charge per license. It's an Apache Parquet format viewer https://www.parquetviewer.com

I've actually specified that a single license is per a single user but can be installed on multiple machines. I've had several users request this.

I'd like to use it, could you guys add a license to this thing?

Really? So how does a 32 bit CPU run 64 bit code?
Comment · 9 years ago
Not necessarily. Using a 64-bit system and think you're safe? But what if the binary you're running has been compiled for a 32-bit system? What if this is a cloud service you're not even aware of?

As a true example here, my parents' house uses a simple computer to automate watering of different places in their garden. Looked the chip up, 32 bit system. So this will definitely stop working on Jan 2038.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. 2038 is going to be a big issue.

Lots of startups are basically existing ideas, just for India. Looks like YC is doubling down on that particular economy.

Sure :)

It really varied, depended a lot on the culture of the company itself. Some shops do anything their devs want while others simply ignore them and do whatever some exec decided to do.

The that interested me most was finding the reason why. Sometimes it was ridiculously silly.

Aren't you afraid of radiation at all? I've used this app for a few months, but actually stopped because I didn't like having the device so close to my head for such a long period of time.

Been doing software for 20 years now, and I think the best advice would be to keep things simple.

Keep your software design simple, your code simple, your tools simple. Sure, it's nice to use new and shiny tech for your side projects, but real software should be done simply and efficiently.

Simple trumps everything else, but it takes a real master to know how to pull it off. Especially in the context of complicated software requirements.

During my career I've met very few programmers who are capable of doing this well. It's the true art of the profession IMO.
