Exactly...cost was supposed to be a new premium roof (just the roof, no solar panels) and they are about 3 times more expensive than "just the roof". Unless they meant a "new roof" as in when you build a house from scrat

No, I just want a new roof. I wasn't planning on installing Solar. Solar was supposed to be a perk of buying the roof from Tesla...and all of this was supposed to cost as much as a roof alone.

Yeah, I feel the coverage of this has been very deceptive. We just got a quote for our roof in SF (small house) and it was ~$20K with an upgraded architectural tile, new spouts and gutters. Tesla would charge me $67K for the roof alone base

From my experience you'll spend 20% of your time building your SaaS and 80% of your time selling, marketing and supporting your SaaS. The kicker is, how well you do on the 20% determines how hard your 80% will be.

Thanks for this. While I am on Java, I know Python seems to rule the deep learning space.

Try $750k plus on reoccurring commissions from sales past. $2M for landing a large contract.

I do fine in tech in sv but all the sales people I know make about 3 to 4 times my salary with commissions.

Hmm... While I personally don't see much use in the particular endpoints you have integrated with, what I do see the need for on a daily basis is API endpoint monitoring. Modern applications depend on a huge quantity of APIs and this b

I think the overarching characteristic of "excellent" engineers I have worked with was being almost compulsive obsessive about their code, architecture, tests and process. Each of them held their own code at higher standards than

Sort of my point. You may think you only hire good people, but by comparison you are hiring middle of the road. Thus, you clearly don't know what a top 1% engineer looks like.

I run a T520 Lenovo on Ubuntu and had similar challenges until I started to manually turn my GPU on and off. Windows and Mac have excellent drivers which automatically control GPU while Linux does not. At least on Ubuntu if you have a Nvidi

Now if Lenovo would just build something that remotely competes with this I'd be begging them to take my money. I haven't found anything quad core and 15 inches from Lenovo that doesn't weigh a ton...oh...and that off center

Hmmm...I wonder why S&P 1500 was the benchmark? It's kind of an atypical bracket for S&P companies to compare. Why not the more common 500, 1000 or 2000? Is it because the statistics come out in M$ favor when only looking at th

Fair point.

Ehm...again, maybe they don't want to learn how to code as badly as they think they do.

Sure, books won't, but then there is StackOverflow or a million other resources..still, no bootcamp needed.

I too am a bit confused to why coding bootcamps are needed. I am sure they nicely compress lots of information into a short timeframe but even back in 1997 I was able to teach myself to code simply by sitting at Barnes and Noble reading boo

Yes, I definitely suffer from this syndrome with my side projects. It's a great rush having an idea and the knowledge and skills to fulfill it and I think that drives me in the beginning. When the code base is still small and uncomplic

I found this YouTube presentation very informative about how an HF firm uses Java for live trading... Just one awesome fact...they structured their code such that they only have one GC event a day (and it's tuned to happen at night). W
