I have the exact same experience, word-for-word. I'm fascinated not everyone sees that.

This is a proposal creation and analytics software for small agencies.
Who is it for: a five person web design studio sending a $15K-ish project proposal after a discovery callI've been long wanting to start building my own businesses, and this is my first true attempt to do so. I've built systems on top of platforms like Airtable and Shopify before, but this is the first time I've attempted to...
I've been in a few mastermind calls together with this group which were insightful!
Not around the sauna per se, but sauna is often built first because it serves as a place to live while you're building the house!
Was the multi-channel approach deliberate? Would you have done something different other time around?
With every alternative, the prevailing issue is the fact that your data is as safe as the company your data is with. But I think this can be remedied by doubly external backups.
I feel like we're in the extremes in both cases, where general customer interfaces are all super information sparse, and terminals are heavy on text.
Having more visual terminals and more text UIs elsewhere would be best of both worlds.
If the visible map here is gray, why is it red-ish in the sky looking at it with the naked eye?
I love the spirit!
Practically speaking, having a backlog of vast amounts of similar data to you, the true way to get out of the loop is to try something different. To do the things that wouldn't fit as a data point in that list format.
Hi there, I just wrote about it here:
https://silvertaza.com/product-market-fit/I am sure that at the very least you'll get some ideas on how to approach this. I have aggregated different sources on that, but I am not an expert myself at this point in time.
Yes, but the OP asked for an idiot-filter first.
We end up applying multiple filters throughout the process, but try similarly to keep them as simple as possible not to too strongly bias for one thing.
I even go as far as avoiding writing code in the first place. You can give a very simple imaginary problem to solve and see how they think. I believe good software engineers are essentially problem solvers, the code just happens to be the tool for it.
I have asked to estimate the amounts of skittles in a litre cube box.
It's probably apt to ask yourself what sort of revenue model you prefer to support for the value provided. YouTube is a rare case where they offer multiple options.
Depending on n, oftentimes nested loops are more readable and maintainable than the optimal solution.
Of course too many levels of nesting is inherently a code smell that indicates other issues.
In terms of tech, I just started one that allowed me infinite customizability, but still leveraged good solutions to common needs, so I went with Gatsby. It is a static site with a lot of potential functionality.

It is still more convenient to do blogging in Substack, but for potential dev content it is too limited in terms of what you can post there. One of my posts has a computer vision based game that leverages the webcam, and that would not have been possible there.
