Can anyone point me towards good books/papers/talks/etc to read about this topic and ways to improve my skillset?
AWS CI/CD Previous applications/if any knowledge transfers.
The PM role is at a 2bil company building out internal tooling.
What should one know, read/watch to prepare?
My experience is previous saas founder. Wrote entire codebase (albeit, very sloppy because we needed to sell software) and sold first 100k. So in theory, I think I’d be a great fit for running a new product from the ground up. But would love some resources and advice from the smarter engineers here! Thanks.
Anything bugging you all about your day I could code up in <3-4 days?
Can be full stack. Although if a native app I’d have to use electron since I don’t know swift/java well enough to crank something out in that short of a time span.
Just looking for some cool small project to keep my chops.
I've recently gotten back on Twitter and in an effort to be more exposed to opinions outside of just the tech world have seen a lot of criticism about Tesla/SpaceX running out of money and about to die.
Understand everyone here worships Elon and loves the products. Without spending 25 hours researching what is real about this, the good and bad vs the supposed media/twitter craze.
I chalk it up to finance not understanding how to build innovative and very lasting companies. But also don't want to be ignorant.
Some of the things I saw, cited by influential finance people
-SpaceX tried to raise 500m and only raised 273m (might be explained by holiday season)
-SpaceX laying off 10%
-Tesla breaking ground on factory without designs (feel like this is so wrong but I just don't know)
-Tesla not being able to raise more money (because of a wells notice, of which I just learned what that means)
-SpaceX resources being used for Boring Co tunnels
-Tesla not sending permanent license plate tags for some super complicated finance scam to delay paying down their a/p until they sell another car (ponzi scheme)
-Elon vs Azalelia banks drug cocaine twitter beef
there's a ton more. And I realize everyone tweeting could have a short position and be doing so to try to instill doubt but this seems like a lot.
what is the tl;dr other than Elon does some insane stuff and is equally an asset as he is a liability?
What should someone who wants both of these companies to succeed but doesn't want to be optimistically ignorant need to know?
I would like to write a simple OCR app that does the following:
-gets the screenshot from his gmail -finds his name on the schedule -adds the hours from the schedule to his google calendar
This is a fun weekend project. Thinking about building it in a new language I haven't used before.
However, when running the screenshot through the OCR stuff I can find online (before actually writing code) the results are absolutely horrible.
Am I doing this wrong or is OCR just not very good?
We can't seem to find a way to manage our schedules very well. What ends up happening is we go extended amounts of time without an overlap in free time and then miss out on dates, time with friends, etc.
We both love our work so quitting isn't exactly helpful.
Some things we've tried:
Shared Google Calendar: This works well but we never actually update. Its tedious too. And we don't like sharing exactly what we're doing with our friends to coordinate schedules with. I'd prefer the calendar just said busy 9-9 not 9-11am doctors appointment, 12-3pm taking son to therapy,etc, etc. This is just a simple example
Paper/Pen - This is what we've used most often but things always come up and we always end up losing the paper. Slash leaving it in our cars, it being outdated because of a change.
Text - We text each other schedule updates and text other friends with similar work/life schedules a lot. This works the best in a 1:1 scenario but I always feel annoying texting 3 friends about making plans and having to do it 5 times because those 3 also are at work/out of town/unavailable.
I've heard some use calendly accounts. We haven't tried that but I don't generally see my less tech family/friends using that.
This isn't some existential crisis but we've really struggled to continually find time (and plan things out in advance when we have overlapping time) and others have to deal with this as well.
So any help would be appreciated. I can provide more context if needed. Thanks in advance.
