I don't really know. I never learned sales, but I sold Kotlin to a lot of companies successfully in the last few years. It is something that I think I can do if I put the time in.

This sounds really interesting. How would you define what Sales engineering is?

This is a great idea. I already have some bits and pieces there (a blog for example) but this somehow never occurred to me.

That's great, I'm gonna take a look!

It is funny that you ask this, as I've just began [this][1] learning path on AWS. Having the knowledge is only half the story though. I'm not good at sales / finding business partners. I'm good at solving their problems.

What prevents me from even looking at this link is the 4.5MB executable. Come on. Have you tried to download that amount of data using a spotty mobile connection?

Just one tiny observation: I find the headings really hard to read.

When I was hired the company wasn't offering options and I negotiated a fair market price for my work so I was able to "just" leave.

They bought the company I was working for. They turned everything upside down. Tried to force us to sign contrats that would make them the owner of our public contributions which lead to an outrage so they backed down. Later they did "

Maybe 95% of people use it and it made sense to them, who knows?

So how does this relate to the Warp drive? At the end he casually mentions that they are completely different, but I don't see why.

I love Kotlin. I also love Typescript. I'm yet to try Rust, but I'm positive that I'll love it as well. They are all born to solve the same problem I think, only from a different perspective. I use Kotlin every day and the mo

I've been using Kotlin (which is very similar to Typescript, the language the author also mentions) to great effect mostly because 2 of those points (type inference and sum types) and something else that's also very powerf

I'm using IDEA and VSCode in conjunction (for Kotlin and Typescript respectively) and I find them equal in power. Maybe I'm not a power user, but I reached a point where they even look the same (more or less). There are 2 minor di
