Been there before and it's not an easy task. We got lost in a lot of wishful thinking and misinterpreting our customer interview. "Looks interesting" is often a polite way to say "cool, but we don't need it". I

Not FOSS but kitware has a lot of C++ projects that are at least partly open source. Maybe not exactly what you are looking for though.

After spending almost two years increasingly on the business side of things, I would say showing how your work impacted the business in a positive way is the best way to negotiate raises/promotions. Team performance isn't a pure i

It's much harder to get laid off in Germany due to much better protection and even if you are laid off, you are eligible for unemployment benefits. So I think you are a little reactionary there right now. Besides that, it's still

Modern C++ code now looks very different to even C++11 code which is considered to be the start of modern C++. "A Tour of C++" which has already been recommended is probably a good start to get back in the game. I think there was

That's a common sentiment one hears everywhere but C++ will stick around. Surely, new projects will more often than not be implemented with Go or Rust since the systems programming space becomes more and more fragmented and specialized

That's like the holy grail when you find something like this... Currently trying to get deeper into Rust and struggle to come up with reasonable project ideas that are fun, challenging but also not so big that I cannot "finish&quo

I think Python is pretty dominant in ML. ML is a big space and depending on what you want to do it either requires an advanced degree and access to super computers or you are good to go on a normal laptop. There are plenty of tutorial on ap

Mh, since I don't see a much of an application in the business model canvas anyway, I am not sure how an AI generation tool would help there.

Probably, but I wouldn't know what I would choose to be honest. I am currently involved with starting a startup which also entails a lot of interesting aspects on the business side. I completely feel you. On the one hand I would love t

Electrical engineer here. During my studies, I did do quite some coding, but this was mostly due to my own interests. There are plenty of opportunities to code: embedded, simulations, data processing, more and more ML stuff, ... However, wh

I don't feel like business model canvas is a good way to start out. I rather use the "jobs to be done" thought framework. Business model canvas is one of these things that make you think of stuff that you don't and can&#

In my eyes a landing page is important and should be started early on. Landing pages will change over time anyway. You can always have some kind of sign-up for a newsletter or a waiting list. It's important to track the landing page (e

In the end it's somewhere between employee and employer branding. It gives potential candidates a feeling for what kind of things people work on. The employee gets exposure that might further his career. As long as everyone is fine wit

AI will just lead to more shallow copy writing corporate blogs or blog posts. The best blogs are the ones where people do real deep dives into a topic. They often don't do this for generating leads or anything like that. They just want

Thanks for clarifying. Pretty much what I meant but not a native speaker so probably worded it a little bad.

Talk to your target customers. In the beginning it's mostly about "does it solve the problem" in my experience. B2B is a large field as well. Small businesses have completely different expectations than enterprise customers.

Spot on. Devs/Engineers come in with a technology they think everyone needs while in reality nobody needs. I have seen so many people talk about finding product market fit and they don't even really have a product. They only have

Who are your users? Are they on mobile? Are they using a tablet or a laptop? Are they private or business consumers? There is not enough information to answer this question. Build for where your users are and build where you can get it done

This is a pretty broad question to be honest. There are different types of call to actions and different places they will appear. What they have all in common: Getting a user to click on that button. I don't have any resources to recom

Yeah, but...do besides a very few people actually have problems with that?

Not sure if this is irony or not.

If it's a professional event and the attendees are only there because the companies they work for use a specific software, that makes a lot of sense. That's more like facilitating community building and not comparable to a meetup

It's a good start to acknowledge the fact that you want to learn and improve soft skills. I like to read books about different things. I would call this the "theoretical foundation". - Fictitious stories can help you understa

It's easier to find people who had some exposure to C++, but that does not make it easier to find good C++ programmers. Both are incredibly hard to find, though.

Markdown or LaTeX is awesome in combination with git. Even better, it's a (bad) frist backup solution.

I mean, that is basically happening already. For almost all "jobs" it isn't necessary to target a very specific individual but rather a group of similar enough people. Even with alt-right fake news people still talk in real l
