Over the last few months I've been exploring a bunch of different startup ideas.One thing that came up time and time again was data safety and sovereignty in AI inference. Once you go looking for EU-based options, your choices become quite thin quite quickly.That's why decided to launch Solheim: Your own "Virtual Private LLM", a flat fee for reserved compute, no token meter, 100% EU-based
The one question I'd ask is what your day-to-day will look like, the answer is probably "a bit of everything, young startup, you will grow with the company, blahblah" but at the end of the day there is something you'll have to do and perhaps in startups more so than in other companies that might be things like customize this powerpoint of our pitch for each prospect which may get rather boring.
So starting from that, who would want to use your service (expecting parents?) what do they do currently to solve that problem (naming books? other websites?) and how do they find that solution. Once you clarified those questions in a lot more depth than you think necessary will it become clearer how to reach those people as well.
Having said that as developer it will most certainly be less stressful so you might go that route just so you can free up more space to start writing now.
That seems like a rather odd stance to me, effectively he is saying it's too expensive for us as a rich country to do and at the same time expects poorer countries to do it - how can they manage that if it's already too much for the richer countries?
If you want a career then I'd start backwards: Where do you want to be? What can you imagine yourself as? And then works from there what you need to get there. And likely what you have to do is upskilling somehow before you can even apply, you can probably take a lot of learnings from your past 10 years and apply them to your new role but there are likely a few things you have to learn first.
On the developer point specifically: Can you not imagine yourself as a developer because of self-doubts or because you really don't like that path? If you already didn't like it 10 years ago you might not like it now either but if it's just because of doubts whether you can do it then it's a different story. It's certainly also going to be difficult to get back into a developer role but with the current job market it is probably still easier than most other career options IMO
I suppose it also depends on how that energy is sourced, if it were to only use excess solar it's different than taking old coal mines back online
