As much as I agree that solving (technically) interesting problems is more fulfilling than selling ads using distributed clusters, I think that finding an interesting problem that helps business make money is a non-trivial problem by itself and usually requires a separate person doing it full time. If you have such a person in your team, you are in a great luck
- rukshn 5y agoYes I totally agree with you. I did not write it in that POV where you work or do hobby coding. I saw that some comments here has mentioned it as something of a hobby coding pov. If you find working on selling ads interesting then that’s what you should do. Buy doing that you will create something innovative, and new. And you might even be able to merge cool tech into it as a result of it. But don’t learn cool tech just because it’s cool. Do it because you want to solve a problem.
- Abishek_Muthian 5y agoI agree with you, Emphasis needs to be put on finding an interesting problem to solve in the first place, Finding problems is a hard skill. I've been running a problem validation for 2 years[1], 1/10 new posts each day is actually a problem and rest are just ideas someone want to build(there's nothing wrong with it per se, But with problems as first class citizen they're not allowed). And then not everyone who can identify a problem can also have an idea to solve them and that's fine too. It's just the distinction between problems and ideas need to be understood.
