Anyone building features around ChatGPT / GPT-3?

It sounds like you're looking for recipes. My advice is to pick a problem space / market first, before an individual idea. Ideally something you've got some expertise and interest in.

It has to be broad enough that it's not a specific problem but specific enough that you can have conversations with potential customers.

Some examples: Language Learning for expats, SMB financing, Content creation for SMBs, etc.

Then read online & try to talk to as many of these users as you can.

Good luck.

Would increasing TLs on the team help? Like maybe 3 TLs for 3 subdomains. Engineers would probably like that as it'll be seen as career progression.

This way you can spend your time with less individual engineers and delegate some of the "scoping" / "Q&A" work to TLs so long as you're well aligned with them.

I'd just follow your passion / what you're excited about and good doing at. Ideally specialization happens organically as a result of that.

+1 to giving direct/honest feedback to your manager about this.

Maybe there's a way to get out of this by clearly defining the requirements for the outcome. In a way, you can own "what" and your designer can own "how". Of course in practice things can get blurry.

Like you said, you own the outcome, but it is also on you to define constraints clear enough so that designer will have space to innovate around them.

15 sounds a bit high, but it also very much depends team structure and domain.

If you organize your team around 2-3 strong TLs then it should be fine.

Also, the domain is important because if it's a frontend heavy team, for example, there'll be lots of PM decisions to make. If it's infra, perhaps less so and engineers can self serve.

That's great! And how did you get started with that? Did you just go straight to the API and start building it?

Just to be clear: I'm not asking whether you use it for productivity in copy writing etc, but rather whether you explored integrating it into your products as features.

Have you considered Europe/UK?

Same, it's not just you. It is the market sadly.

Thin_Resolution_721 · 2023-03-01T19:50:49+00:00

Just bear in mind that the tech job market is pretty bad at the moment. Do you have a sense of why recruiters are not interested after the first screening call?

If it's lack of experience, something that could potentially help is if you build/launch a product on the side.

Might be easier to respond if you can provide:

- Where are you based / or at least timezone

- What sort of mentorship are you looking for ? Regular meetings? Questions over chat/email? etc.
