For that matter, I'd even say that it can be dangerous to choose cofounders within one's friend circle. It tends to make people more blind to lacks and red flags (for the needs of a tech business) that would clearly be…

One could put together a phrase where that one would clearly come out when speaking it out, though not (or not as clearly) in written form, e.g.: "Frag mal den Wirt, welche Alkohol-Konzentration s'Lager-Bier hat"
You project some personal conception of "worth" of x as if it was some normative and objective value inherent by essence to each category x would belong to. It's not. For whatever x, your estimation of the "worth" of x…
First of all, that line you quote isn't from me. Then: Ugly as that Google thing was, its intent and effect was to prevent competition ("poaching") by a handful of big competitors. Ugly, sure, but that only represented…

Nah, I'm not pretending anything of the likes in any way. In fact, the overwhelming majority of apps aren't cross-platform at all, so that's really the norm, not cross-platform frameworks. All I'm saying is that unlike…

Nice, but unfortunately (for people outside the US) very narrowly centered on the US market… as the "American Edition" in the title already points to. Which makes me wonder: Is there also a European edition?

This makes zero sense to me. By what logic would a salary paid this fiscal year (be it for R&D or any other activity, I don't see why there would be any difference there) not be a simple expense to be fully deducted…
