I have been running a company for last three years, started right out of college. We were a team of 6 people until last year and have grown to 15 people today. The engineering team is at 10 now and I am slowly transitioning from a "developer" to a manager. Would like to hear your experiences on how to do the job better? Any books/blogs to follow on scaling the engineering management and guiding people? What tools do you use for tracking? How frequently do you give feedback?

At my work, we distribute our application through SDK for all channels (Web, iOS, Android). We have the current codebase in three different languages and implementing a new feature requires making changes in all three.

The application does not use any specific native component, and handles a large amount of networking through websockets.

Want to understand, what are the tradeoffs in building a JS based SDK for all devices. Which framework is being used in enterprises to distribute SDK's? Any pitfalls in using one vs the other.

Thanks in advance!

Hey,

I have decided to read 12 books (I know the target is less) for 2016. I divided the books to read in 3 sections of 4 books each.

The categories are: 1. Technical Books - 3 on Computer Science related and 1 on Green/Solar Energy 2. Business Books - 1 on Marketing, 1 on Investment, 1 on Economics and 1 (Auto)?Biography. 3. Fiction Books

It would be awesome to get suggestions from HN on what books to consider and what books (if any) are they planning to read. A little background on me for suggesting books, I'm a CS graduate of 2015 working in a startup (Yellow Messenger). By reading at least the 12 books, I want to expand my horizon of understanding of the world and become a better programmer.

Hey,

I have built a web application for a company and initially I wanted to host it on my servers and provide them access via a login and password. The company is insisting that the software and its data must live on their servers.

The web application is coded in Django with Postgres as the database. How do I distribute the application on their server without giving away the source code?

And in general, how are enterprise applications distributed? And how are updates provided?

Thanks!
