I am a software developer but trying to learn other aspects of building businesses, like marketing and sales. If you have a side project that needs marketing help, I will be happy to take up the task. I can spend about 10 hrs per week. I can talk to customers, evangelize the product, write on various fourms, etc.

If you are interested, send me an email or leave a comment here. I am doing this to learn stuff, so money is not a consideration here. I am in SF Bay area, if that helps

Is there a credit card out there that is "developer friendly"? Like, can I use an API to create temporary credit numbers, push messages to an endpoint when new charges are posted, etc. I am looking for a credit card that allows me to automate my life.

Sports persons have coaches. CEOs have coaches. Similarly, who is your career coach for your day job? Is it your manager, a friend or is it an online forum? What is your experience with using professional career coach to advance your career goals?

Did you get any offer? If yes, after how many interviews?

I want to get a sense of how many times they will try to hire you before they give up and stop responding to your job application.

I have been a lot working with SQLdeveloper for oracle DBs and datastax devcenter for cassandra. I was wondering why these companies have a desktop version but not a web version. With web, we can easily open multiple windows and share results across the team easily. Plus your results wont get overwritten with a new query everytime.

So, what is your favourite database viewer/query tool?

What sites do you use for market research? Is it random news articles pieced together or do you know specific sites. For example, if you want to know how many child day cares exist and how much they pay the teachers, what websites do you use to find the data? Or for example, how many iphone cases/covers have been sold is last one year? Any site dedicated to statistics/discussions like this?

I am wondering if there are any FM/AM radios where content is mostly generated by an algorithm rather than human curators. I believe this is already there for internet radio aka podcasts.

But is any startup working on this for radios? I want to hear such stuff while in the car.

How does Airbnb accomplish this? Why would my bank give them my new credit card number? Is new expiration date typical x years plus current expiration date?
