A few years ago, prior to starting atila.ca, I created an electronic device that helped people unlock doors using their phone, share the keys with friends and started a company called Phlock. Long story short, the company quietly failed and slid into the abyss of apathy.

In the spirit of "you learn more from your failures than your successes", I decided to write about what I learnt from starting a company that failed, open source the code used to build Phlock, and advice for anyone thinking about or currently starting a company, hopefully you can learn from my experience so you don't make the same mistakes I did.

Would also love to hear your thoughts on the article as well :)

Hey everyone, I wrote a blog post on how our startup atila.ca chose and built our tech stack. Our team is all students and most of us started programming just 2 years ago so we'd love to get your thoughts on our stack and advice on how we can improve.

I put together a blog post for people looking for internships or full time jobs on how I got interviews at Google, Facebook and Bridgewater etc. with average grades, non-target school and no relevant work experience.

If you have any questions or comments on the piece, let me know. Would like to know what you guys think.
