I sometimes thought about how a Fairy-Tail (as in the manga) like adventure but based on Computer Science and Software Engineering principles would look like. This post is my attempt at fleshing out that world :)

Here's what I did and I highly recommend it, if you don't already have a network: Goto meetup.com or any event/meetup website. I found this Python ML meetup group (could be any technical group), joined, and went to their week

He's right one should think about monetization earlier in the development process. But it's a poor take because the kind of monetization he's talking about taps into an addicted person's dopamine pathway. Most run of the

Maybe try check the recruiting funnel/pipeline. It's possible majority of them got dropped at the initial interview stage where they were asked questions not relevant to their expertise, so by the time the funnel reaches you it&#x

I think price discovery of materials can happen organically by ascribing some purchasing power, desire for end products, and usage rate to an AI-driven consumer. We could start from a small industry, e.g logging, then gradually introduce do

I wonder how many more undiscovered areas are there and how might they look. Would they evolve to be very alien and different looking given enough time?

What I have in mind is rather different. Imagine your phone simulating a Pockit experience, except the sensor modules are what your phone already provides (e.g geolocation, gyroscope, accelerometer, etc), the I/O are simulated buttons&

Far as I understand, web components are used to build websites / web apps. I was talking about how a phone carries a suite of sensors and various capabilities that we can make accessible in a manner similar to Pockit.

Right, but I wasn't talking about website builders. I'm talking about enabling access to a phone's various sensors and capabilities through a manner similar to Pockit.

by tjchear 5y ago
Seeing Pockit gives me an idea: can we do something similar for Web APIs? Perhaps a web app with a 2D board where users can place modular blocks the same way one would place Pockit blocks on the magnetic breadboard. We could have a geolocat

Haven't used solidjs before, but I paid the doc section a quick visit and saw that it's basically <For each={foobar}> where foobar can be whatever javascript code you want. So you can certainly do filter/sort/proje

It might seem like a painfully simple and unhelpful advice, but talk to people. Understand their domain and language. Ask about pain points and workarounds (without suggesting/pushing your own solution). These people are everywhere: re

No, yes, and yes. There are very bright people working there. This is your chance to get to network with brilliant folks and learn valuable work and life lessons.

There's plenty of comments already telling you to hang back and reevaluate (which I agree with), so I'm not gonna do that. You said your plan is to pour 100% of your resources into something of your own and you're not afraid

How was the interview process? Would be great to learn about the questions they ask.

Not exactly related, but this reminds me of this triple nuclear plant project that ran into trouble by the time they're on their third, because it took so long, people with the requisite knowledge was gone and the remaining people had

Saw the first falcon that landed that was put up at SpaceX HQ. It's not as big as Saturn V, but it's still humongous up close. I also went down to Vanderberg AFB on a whim with a friend of mine to see a Falcon launch. That superso

This is an imperfect analogy, but here goes: It's like computer hibernation, but for a process that runs on a whole distributed system instead of on a single computer. As programmer of that process, you just focus on writing your busin

I can see this being a win-win. I actually started chatting more frequently with people I hadn't chatted more often with because of Wordle. We're basically bonding over Wordle.

Sure you won't be able to see all of your friend's stats in one nice looking UI, but I doubt that has bothered anyone tremendously. If anything, what you perceive to be crutch actually encourages people to share their result 1-1 w

+1 on these tools opening up people's imagination of what's possible. They're the experts in their domain, and having these tools allow them to project what they know onto a system that makes them more productive and efficien
