Just sharing my flow for those looking to build note taking apps: I use whatsapp for note taking. It solves a similar problem for notes as drop box did for files. My notes are usually pointers. I don't track tasks in there. Tasks go i

I like to write a personal log of discoveries and my day. It seems to help my team catch up on stuff I am working on. I got this idea from dask dev notes [1] Its amazing how every day/week history of project can help new comers. It a

I had a similar experience. It does reduce the calls after a while. Some people will still not get it, thats ok. I also tried posting video walkthroughs for those who don't read. Okish response.

Awesome. I think there is great value in writing and sharing content. You always get inbound opportunities like this. I have recently started posting my exp in blog and forums and happy to see a few opportunity turn up from places I never e

The best channel imo for side projects is word of mouth virality. You need to design wom mostly through features. I spent a lot of time learning what makes people talk about products. You need to use triggers like a special feature that you

Not aware of book. But I often dig through source code of badger and cockroach DB. Yugabyte has a good video series on their architectural choices.

If you want to continue doing this, you will need to keep building audience and selling different products to the same audience. The hardest part of point sales is trust. Even if you sell something at 1$, there is a trust deficit when you

Vast.ai does to an extent. It works for academics. Enterprises are risk averse, and reliability sucks when too many people and systems are involved.

Spot on. Certs are great at enforcing habits and validating what we know.

I wouldn't consider this as a formula for success but a sounding board. Most times we are lost in complexities of life and choices, articles like these enable us to get back and re-think, provide clarity. They should be considered as t

I think community and habit is really what we pay for in education, we just dont realise it. If the Paid packaging of the product had been course + community, we wouldn’t have seen the negative messages here.

I guess this can be extended to bein exponential backoff, where you increase time of interactions based on response. 5sec is too small window for someone to absorb, unless the feedback is something the receiver is aware of already.

If you intend to really buy this domain place an offer now, it will cost much more later. A lot of domain owners work with bonus pay, which means if you raise money then you pay them additional amount. This is one way to negotiate. But as

Prior to this pandemic, my diet was best it had ever been. After a month or two, I started eating burger n had coke. I thought to myself its not the worst thing that's gonna kill me. Crazy but several decisions were short term for the

Sorry you feel that way. I really enjoy teaching, to do that well - which requires full time focus - I would need some income atheist a percent of my salary (which was way in top bracket where I live). I do have a free blog, where I share

I have been successfully using screen flow recordings. Short videos. Some people still don't watch but it helps me avoid answering same question twice.

We had a people choice award for such work. And then you could use that in your appraisal. But yeah, I used to do this just for my own interest of learning. Companies can't accept that only one or two persons are doing this. They woul

I have been using JBTD for any content I write. It helps me set goals and stay on track. Not get lost in vivid ideas and random advisory. From a product standpoint, I use the job descriptions (from job boards) of target roles (users) and id

I have this temptation too. Its hard to juggle between programming and talking to users. There are on the opposite ends. I have been able to finish a task at least 50% of time faster just by talking to users. Now I delay the first line of

I agree. As IC, I proactively keep the parties updated. So they don't disturb me while I am in the middle of something. Over communicating at times of my preference has been helpful

Congrats on the launch. I have built an open source tool (called hyperML) for similar problem sometime back. I think the problem is not just storing in version control but being able to quickly retrieve those in live /test systems or

Check out algorithmia - if that works for you. Instead of looking for ML specific services, look at docker or container options. Its better if they have instance warm ups that way you can launch the vm when necessary. Also see if you can sp

I would be afraid if I don't find a competitor. It would mean lots of money for marketing. The way I see it is, you have to be first something. a good example from 22 laws of marketing is - everyone knows who was first man to set foo

Hey man.. hope you feel better soon. I usually learn new stuff to get out of such phases. Learning gives me excitement and offers mis direction for busy mind, which other wise loops through stuff
