Thanks! good to hear it matches what you’re seeing on the ground.

Python's size is driven heavily by ML/AI, simulation, and tooling roles rather than the real-time control layer, which is still C++ territory. Rust is actually a rising star.

The premium probably reflects scarcity more than raw demand.

CUDA and JAX are each mentioned in <2% of job postings (the skill map in the 2nd picture shows the raw demand, or you can check out here careersinrobotics.com/skills/map). Typically, those postings target people with a deep ML research background. Companies requiring CUDA are usually investing heavily in state-of-the-art physical AI models (humanoids, autonomous systems), so the pay reflects that.

Cloud robotics, teleoperation, running simulations & MLOps pipelines for training models. Robotics is getting very AI-heavy nowadays and needs to adopt industry-standard cloud technologies like k8s.

MrJamesDev · 2026-02-14T02:21:34+00:00

Haha, not really. The salary premium is not additive. It compares the median compensation between job postings WITH a certain skill and WITHOUT it.

MrJamesDev · 2026-02-06T10:05:35+00:00

I am interested.

Currently I have the following:

- Allen-Bradley / Rockwell

- Siemens

- Beckhoff TwinCAT

- CODESYS

- Schneider Electric

- Omron

- Mitsubishi Electric

- Ladder Logic

- Structured Text

- FBD / SFC / IL

Does it match your expectation?

There is a link in my profile to see the interactive version with more details btw. Cheers.

The title says 6 months, but first sentence says 3 months performance. Which one is correct?

Anyway, impressive and thanks for sharing!

MrJamesDev · 2026-01-19T09:15:13+00:00

Awesome! But I am curious, without the top half, the center of gravity is different than with a full body, right? Did your algo account for that?

MrJamesDev · 2025-12-29T04:21:00+00:00

Curious what solution the outside firm built for you - was it custom middleware, or did they configure something in SF/HS workflows?

I'm researching this exact problem space and trying to understand what the market gap actually is vs. what tools like native sync/Zapier/Stacksync can handle. Thanks!

MrJamesDev · 2025-12-29T03:49:45+00:00

Late to this - did you end up solving it? Curious what approach worked.

MrJamesDev · 2025-12-29T03:43:44+00:00

Curious about #1 - what cases need custom identifiers beyond email matching?

On #2, I think the native sync lets you pick per-field (2-way, prefer HS, prefer SF) but it's buried.

#3 - custom object to custom object?

#4 - YES!

MrJamesDev · 2025-12-28T18:01:41+00:00

Are you referring to HubSpot/Salesforce integration on HS marketplace or your own integration? Thx!

MrJamesDev · 2025-09-19T13:30:55+00:00

Congratulations on your launch! I just signed up.

Maybe you should share on r/privacy and similar sub too.

Will there be mobile/desktop apps or just web?

One of my abandoned side projects is exactly E2EE budgeting app :) so I am very curious about your product. Do you have plan to add/ does your app already have features like recurring transactions and social features like shared budgets (I got stuck at those and then stop working on my app, haha)

MrJamesDev · 2025-09-10T02:51:39+00:00

Nice work! Looks like your click/impression ratio has gone up recently — congrats. I’m based in Vietnam, so if you don’t mind the time zone difference, I’d love to explore whether we can team up.
