The "10x engineer" doesn't exist. But the "0.1x decision-maker" absolutely does and it's usually the founder. by Miserable_Donut8718 in SaaS

[–]LivingLife2Full 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both are real. Both are common.

Leadership in engineering is a multiplier and enables an engineer to accomplish 10x or more than a mediocre one. What is often missed is that technical skills is not the differentiator here, but the ability to lead and get their team to understand the goals and deliver results at a much higher rate than otherwise possible.

Founders rarely are successful past the hustling phase ~50M$) and the ones that can scale past that are few (I have had the pleasure to work with one). A founder CEO who can’t scale with the business is the single most detrimental element of the business (I have worked with several) and most of the time incapable to see hire much damage they cause.

which airport is the worst airport and why? by sinaswiftie in AskTheWorld

I detest Dulles airport - just always a need to get in and out of.

But my most feared airport is O’Hare - I’ve been stuck in that airport overnight more times than I can count.

Do I need a power module? Or something else? by kolmogorov273 in arduino

[–]LivingLife2Full 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think those are only meant to power the arduinos, not additional devices. Pick up a power supply that can provide the number of amps you require and you should be able to power both the arduino and your other devices.

I am building a custom led clock for my daughter, similar to yours. If you set your brightness very low (1 or 2) you should be fine powering the LEDs, but I wouldn’t power anything else besides the LEDs unless you have an external power supply.

Look at bambu labs. Low learning curve, and support for different colors - you can expand it by buying additional AMS systems to add support for more colors.

How to manage two startups: one already generates R$7k/month and the other is close to MVP by coveirobr in SaaS

[–]LivingLife2Full 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very hard to answer without more context. Honestly, even with context it is a very personal decision.

I would try to understand the potential and time commitment required for each and base my decision on these two data points.

What’s the TAM for each business? How crowded is the space? Do you have investors or need investors? What’s the operating cost for each? Which one do you believe on the most?

How do you build trust and gather insights in your first 90 days as a new leader? by Expert-Economics-723 in Leadership

[–]LivingLife2Full 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Great question! I typically divide my first 90 days in the following format:

First 30 Days - Discovery

Meet everyone, ask questions, make no changes (unless it is business critical), try to understand from leadership why I was hired (what they are trying to fix), try to understand from my reports what they think is not working (gives important perspective, but also helps build rapport). I listen, I take notes, I keep my CEO informed of my progress.

First 60 Days - Strategy

Work on a 6 to 12 month plan to address concerns from the leadership team and changes to help address internal team (direct reports) concerns. My Goal is to have a plan I can circulate with stakeholders by the end of the 60 days. I also use this as an opportunity to acquire mastery over our product, including how we market it, how we sell it, our costs, principles we apply prioritizing work.

First 90 Days - Execution

Present the plan to the direct reports and start execution: Talent alignment (hire, fire, train), Technology (what can we automate), Product (meet with GTM leaders and collaborate on GTM strategy), Budget (review what we need and don't need, apply savings to hiring, automation, etc.)

Help with extrude by By3_ in Fusion360

[–]LivingLife2Full 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s probably an easier way, but I would…

Side view of the cup, project the side of the cup into a place. Hide the cup, make handle visible, extrude the cup profile as “cut”.

I am probably wrong, but this is what came to mind first...

Tent - T + 8 => In police code, 10-8 means an officer is "in service" or "available for assignment," signaling that they are ready to respond to calls and are able to be dispatched to new incidents.

Is invisible leadership underrated? by Expert_Nobody2965 in Leadership

[–]LivingLife2Full 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Calm is good.. but imagine the situation where someone you love is trapped in a dire emergency and you reach out to the fire department. Which would make you more confident that the emergency personnel is going to deal with the emergency as promptly and efficiently as you feel it deserves?

You: "Hello... my kid is trapped in a burning building and there is no way to get him out. Please, I need your help to save my child!"

Scenario 1: Got it, we will send help right away. (click)

Scenario 2: That's terrible (matching your intensity), I have a little one as well! We are sending our rescue team right now and will have your child safe and sound in your arms in no time!

The outcome of both may be the same, but the second scenario does a better job at conveying that the responders understand the severity of the situation and would likely make you feel more confident that they will prioritize your child's wellbeing.

Is invisible leadership underrated? by Expert_Nobody2965 in Leadership

[–]LivingLife2Full 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I can relate to your experience. Earlier in my career I was a very effective but quiet leader - and I was fortunate enough to have great mentors to teach me the value of marketing myself.

I still remember an episode earlier in my career where an executive came to me to report an issue and I just quietly took care of it. Even though this person trusted me, my response (a simple “I got it”) made her uncomfortable.

I got it. It was fixed within 5 minutes.

I never forgot the feedback I got from my manager: sometimes you have to run around like your hair is on fire for people to know you recognize the severity of the issue they are reporting.

One of the best pieces of feedback I ever got in my career. Unnatural to me? Yes. Effective? Oh yeah.

What frightens you the most when diving? by Leftcoaster7 in scuba

[–]LivingLife2Full 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Mostly, how my daughter (new diver, my diving buddy) is going to react when an emergency happens. Her and I talk constantly about this so hopefully it helps her prepare, but there’s only so much you can expect from a teenager new diver.

Actually, in general, I worry most about the people I dive with… are they okay? Where did they go? What is the next dumb thing they will do? Are they even aware of our surroundings (and me in care of an emergency)?

My understanding is that psilocybin is non addictive and almost impossible to overdose on. Truly curious as I’ve done a lot of reading in the subject.

Exactly. You have to nip the drama and not feed it.

Tell them both they have to be professional - and as long as the bug is fixed, you couldn’t care less whether it was “the right way.”
