I once wrote letter to Decathlon, the largest sporting goods retailer. I complained about store and lack of empathy at stores. Next day I received call from store manager. Who offered me a 100$ gift voucher if i return to the store :)

Offering a trial position wouldn't help you in negotiation and may reflect a lack of confidence/skills. I can relate to the trouble that you are going through. I usually volunteer for onsite interview as that helps me present a ve

For first time CTOs, I would recommend courses or videos around hiring. You can figure out tech and working with people as you go. But hiring is what takes most of your time and harder to get right.

Have you considered getting someone you trust (co founder) to try out or validate the new concept. You would hold board position to start with. Meanwhile look for your replacement Or Merge entities at a later date.

This makes sense. If you still believe in problem, why not hit refresh. Start a solution that feels right this time. A pivot that doesn't cost a lot of . I was at a startup in edu tech. Half way through I realised the product wasn'

on a tangent, one way could be assign a number code to each alphabet. Add the numbers that occur in the strings. IF the sum matches, they are anagrams.

If I understand correctly, you got internship vs job decision to make. I would choose job for sure. Secondly its best to exit the offer right now than after joining. that puts company in more trouble, since their investment goes up once you

Hey Michael, In my experience, getting employees to collaborate is harder part with such tools. Second road block is with access rights. Curious to know what design decisions did you make to ease collaboration. Please share if you can.

Agree with most points. A plug and play never works when it comes to scaling engineering function through not just india but anywhere. One must invest from a long term standpoint. Offshoring isn't a shortcut to scaling, its better from

Agree that you would need a way to filter out applicants who are just half way there. But I think such tests have no relation to the mission. Mandating a short video on capabilities and need of problem area is likely to filter out most can

Like the direction you are headed. Considering that use of ASICs is going to rise, think you should consider local installs through docker(like machinebox.io) or another technique. Also federated learning would be next thing to take on.
