Hi @anurag, congrats on this funding round!
I'd like to give it a shot but I often don't get past HR because I'm in (theoretical) CS and lack "real world experience". Which is lame because the stuff I've done from my trench is amazing (source: trust me, lol).
Anyway, I'm really good on the backend, creating high performance REST APIs, documenting them, etc... and know a great deal of postgres.
I also have a good intuition for what's going to stick or not in the field. I was doing AWS ~15 years ago, back when you had to use an ugly SOAP interface to get things done, but I saw the potential and created the first automated cluster of bioinformatic tools in there. Right now, I'm betting on Rust, WASM, V8 isolates, and everything that has to do w/ lightweight function execution.
If that sounds good for render's mission, I'll be glad to take part in it.
- ShamelessC 3y agoAWS had a SOAP API? What timeline are we in again?
- moralestapia 3y agoYup, it was a PITA to set up but, when you managed to, having a computer in the cloud that you just "created" with some code felt like magic.
