I really enjoy the Eggplant podcast. Early episodes are Spelunky/roguelike focused, but they've branched out a ton since then. https://eggplant.show/

I'm looking for ways to put my talent/skills to good use, and the most obvious route for that (short of switching companies and joining a non-profit) that I can think of is to get …

This is super insightful--thanks. You've listed a lot of things about the managerial track that are still achievable on an IC track. You've also listed something things that some m…

I'm trying to think about where I see myself in the future, and am struggling to decide between the management track vs. staying an individual contributor. I feel I have the skills…

For me, the value in attending a "top" university is much more about the networking and "name recognition" on resumes, and the enormous boost that those factors offer you over the …

This is great feedback! I definitely think it's a harder sell for someone who already has a system that works for them. Thanks again for taking the time to respond. Happy new year!…

Thanks for the feedback! In my view, these are some of the biggest advantages of Itinee over my previous spreadsheet planning: - Visualize everything on a map. This is big for me j…

My grand vision is actually a "trip itinerary search engine" so people can search for "Barcelona for 2 people for $1000 or less" and get all the matching itineraries. But yes, as y…

Yes! Budgeter here as well :) My YNAB subscription is well worth it, BUT I use YNAB at least weekly. That was a big struggle I had with coming up with a pricing model that made sen…

Thanks for the catch! I updated the language to "...purchase a trip slot and editing access for as low as $10" Your comment makes me wonder if it would be clearer to present things…

That could work! I'm curious what makes subscription models more attractive from your point of view. Is it just simpler to understand? It seems strictly less flexible than a pay-fo…

Yeah, the issue I see with something like that is that realistically, someone could easily take several years to take 3 trips.. seems a bit tricky to convert free customers to payi…

Pretty much by waving my finger in the air :) I originally started with something subscription based, but it felt a bit inflexible. For example, if I offered 6mo subscriptions, peo…

Thanks for the feedback! Pricing is not my forte. My thought process was basically this: - In general, people are probably only planning a single trip at a time (an exception might…

I spent about 6 months building Itinee ( https://itinee.com ) which is a trip planning app focused on being budget conscious. I built it because my wife and I love to travel but my…

You mention remote, but the job description says the position is based in SF. Is this position only remote temporarily due to COVID, or is this a full-time remote position?

Would you mind sharing that problem? Always looking to improve my own interview questions.

I can't figure out why this isn't accepted as an answer for latch? Admittedly there's probably something simpler, but this seems to adhere to spec.. https://i.imgur.com/mnePQc7.png…

As it happens my full-time job is working on our COLREGS path planning and collision avoidance :) Our primary focus at the moment are the rules concerning standing on/giving way wi…

Most of our software roles (one of the biggest teams we're growing at the moment) are located in the U.S.! We'd be very interested to hear from you.

I work for a company that builds boats for many of the same goals in a more traditional form factor. The potential of autonomous marine vehicles is very high, and a very exciting f…

Perhaps I was too general. A more accurate statement would be if more than 3-4 languages are listed without any distinction between languages you're good at and languages you've ju…

I've written about a few things on my blog ( http://blog.debugmyresume.com/2018/04/11/quality_over_quanti... ), but any time someone lists more than 3-4 programming languages, I'm …

I guess that makes us competitors :) I just recently launched a similar, non-automated service. https://debugmyresume.com/ I definitely think your service is attractive given the p…
