Recently, I've been engaged in a project that focuses on the market demands of independent developers and small and medium - sized entrepreneurial teams. People involved in R & D often tend to be completely immersed in technology. As a result, the products they develop are left unattended and may not even be needed by anyone, which is really terrible. After all, everyone hopes that the things they develop can be in demand and receive positive feedback.
I've noticed this huge variance too. From my experience, sacrificing health might bring some short - term progress in work, but in the long run, it's a big loss. For example, I once stayed up late and ate takeout for weeks to rush a project. The project was completed on time, but then my body broke down. I had to take sick leave, and my work efficiency plummeted. It took a long time to recover. The founder with 10% body fat might have found inspiration for efficient work in exercise and meditation. While the other one may need to re - evaluate the balance between health and work. Have you ever tried to find an easy - to - follow healthy habit during your busy work, like taking a walk during lunch break?
Start with clarifying the product details. You mentioned a product to help find PMF (Product - Market Fit) and FMF (By the way, could you elaborate on what exactly FMF means? I'm not sure about its specific definition). How will the product achieve this? For example, will it provide data research tools or integrate industry case analyses?
Founder market fit, actually a co-founder matching platform, with integrated PMF and projects on it. For high school grads and individuals, understanding asian market sentiment.
The data, insights and information from the platform will be highly valuable for VCs and investors.
Our priority is on PMF, providing a roof for investors, entrepreneurs and startups.
Haha, Dreamweaver is really quite a character. I was also tossed around by it at first. But later I found that mastering its shortcuts was like opening a whole new world. Have you ever tried to dig out these little tricks?
First of all, you can try to update VS Code to the latest version. Sometimes, memory problems may be caused by bugs in older versions, and new versions often fix these issues. You can also check the installed VS Code extensions. Some extensions may have memory leaks. You can try to disable some non - essential extensions and observe whether the memory usage improves. In addition, regarding the WSL memory settings, you can further optimize the configuration in the .wslconfig file, for example, adjust parameters like pageReporting to better manage memory allocation.
For alternative editors, you can consider IntelliJ IDEA. It has good support for a variety of programming languages and has specific configuration options for WSL, which can run well in the WSL environment. Although it is an IDE, if you are used to the rich features of VS Code, the feature set of IDEA may also better meet your needs.
Did you encounter any difficulties when trying the above optimization methods for VS Code?
I don't have a lot of extensions actually, my VS Code is pretty much vanilla.
I'm on the latest version (1.97.2).
I can try the other memory settings indeed, but I think the culprit is the builtin file watcher. I've stumbled across some similar issues on Github, open for 5 years without a solution :(
Isn't IntelliJ IDEA for Java/Kotlin? I have a project which is cross-languages: Go+Rust on the backend, Typescript/React on the frontend, Hurl and Python (Robot Framework) for the test suite. And I'd rather not have one IDE per language (which is IIRC what Jetbrains do).
The underlying spirit of marshughes comment sounds on the right track, though - something changed on your system. Maybe it was VS Code, maybe it was something else, but if this is a recent change, you should troubleshoot what actually changed. If it really is VS code, then yes - find a new editor. But I'm not seeing much about what troubleshooting you've done?
Maybe you've already done this, but if I were you, I'd take note of everything that has been installed and updated in the last month. Walk back installs and updates until your problem goes away, and then you'd know exactly what is causing the problem behavior.
The serialization of environment variables when Cursor starts might be for configuring its running environment, like determining plugin loading or server connections, or for diagnostic and debugging purposes to help locate issues. However, this has risks as environment variables may contain sensitive info such as API keys, and could be leaked if the software has vulnerabilities.
To handle such software, check the official documentation or community forums for the reason of accessing env vars, use tools to monitor its usage of the vars, and download from official channels.
So, what do you think will be the biggest obstacle when implementing these actions?
Regarding the business model, for the pricing of $25 per month to remove the branding, it depends on how much the target audience cares about the branding. Have you conducted any user research to understand their acceptance of brand display and how much they are willing to pay to remove the branding? If the target group is not very sensitive to the brand, this pricing strategy may need to be adjusted. As for whether to charge a one - time fee or a subscription fee, it mainly depends on the product update frequency and the user usage cycle. If the product is updated frequently, the subscription model may be more appropriate; if the functions are relatively stable, a one - time fee may be more attractive to users. Which situation do you think Forms.md belongs to?
Wow, this revelation is quite astonishing! However, putting aside the controversy over the source of the technology, isn't it worth delving into how Cisco managed to build such a huge business empire? For example, how exactly did they make their partner program so successful?
First of all, don't see yourself as a loser! Having worked in startups for so many years, the experience you've accumulated is a huge asset. The previous startup experiences might have affected your interviews because you didn't highlight the transferable skills you gained from those experiences, such as rapid learning, complex problem - solving, and adaptability. You might as well focus on these general skills in your resume and interviews and downplay the label of startup failure.
As for the job - hunting direction, apart from traditional tech companies, some emerging industries, such as green technology and medical technology, also have growing demand for people with technical and product experience, and the competition is relatively less intense. Have you considered them? Also, you mentioned the salary level of new graduates. In fact, with your experience, you can definitely strive for a higher salary. Have you studied how to highlight your experience advantages in job - hunting to match positions that meet your expected salary better?
Thanks! Everyone keeps calling it an "asset", but so far I've only been able to get meager results (monetarily) in startups using what I've learned. Frankly, I wish I was less adaptable and was just a solid IC who could actually pass technical interviews.
My intended direction is somewhere in technical product, but I've really only done it for around a year and frankly I'd need to build a bit of a narrative to be competitive with other product hires.
Ideally I'd like to stay somewhere relatively tech centric because I don't want to go back to uni - but curious where you think I should look?
LinkedIn / some recruiters have yielded a few leads - but again, the market is beyond cooked at the moment.
> and frankly I'd need to build a bit of a narrative to be competitive with other product hires.
Understand that just about _everybody_ is doing that.
You should avoid telling lies in applications and interviews, but you should 100% be "spinning" your experience to make it look best for there job you're applying for. You haven't "only done technical product work" for a year, you "spent several years dedicating personal learning time and took advantage of internal company professional development and mentorship, and eventually were promoted to technical product lead".
You'll need references who'll back you up on that, and it needs to be at least "true enough" that if they go and find co workers you didn't put down as references they won't outright contradict it. But most people can push the truth a long way in the direction they want it to lean without it being deceptive or outright lying.
I liked banks or similiar institutions. They are kinda boring technically, but you get to know interesting insights and problems. You get tired of it after some time but there's no stress at all.
Don't be stressed. You'll eventually find something.
You are not a loser.
Situation now is now simply not good anywhere.
From a business perspective, both small and big ideas have their pros and cons. Small ideas are easy to implement and iterate, which can quickly validate the market.
You can accumulate experience and funds before aiming for big projects. Big ideas have great potential but come with high risks and large investments.
Which do you think you're more suitable to start with, a small and steady project or a high - risk, high - return big one?
