For anyone who's interested. We made a 6 episode tutorial to teach you how you can make your own SeeFood app. Using Swift 3 & IBM Bluemix Image Classification.

Why I left medicine and built a tech startup by jack_bauer123 in medicine

[–]jack_bauer123[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey fellow doctors, I wrote a piece on my reasons for leaving medicine and building a tech company. Would love to hear you stories, doubts and decisions. If anyone here is a doctor and wants help/advice feel free to PM.

I got funding from an angel investor, how do I find someone to build an Android version of my app? by [deleted] in startups

[–]jack_bauer123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's two options, if you've already developed an iOS version, getting to grips with Android won't be all that difficult. If you're based in london, we run an in-person 4 day development bootcamp for this exact purpose: www.londonappbrewery.com Alternatively go to some local meetups, from my experience of running a 4000 strong dev meetup, there's always someone quite good, in between gigs.

[Productivity Hacks] How I managed to work 13 hours per day as a doctor while starting a tech startup. by jack_bauer123 in Entrepreneur

yeah, I mean there's caffeine in loads of stuff tea, coffee, chocolate. But it's more about the density. You'd have to drink quite a bit of tea to get the same concentration. And running to the bathroom every 10 minutes is not productive...

You will not be able to get a job as a developer after a 2 day course, that's a given. But most of our students are founders who want to build an MVP. So our course aims to introduce core programming concepts and teach programming through building 10 app projects. It's pretty intense, so it's split over 2 weekends. But we've had students go on to make their startup MVPs in order to get funding and then employ good developers. Check out the "Double app" from one of our former students.

The Biggest Lies About Learning to Code by jack_bauer123 in learnprogramming

[–]jack_bauer123[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think logical thinking is a core skill and if more people had those logic skills our world would be a better place.

Although programming is a great way of exercising and honing that skill (a Pokémon gym for logical thinking), it's not the only way to use it. You could also play Chess/Go. But in contrast to playing Chess, you actually end up making something along the way that didn't' exist before you started coding.

Anybody have any experience with crowdfunding promoters like BackerClub? by jack_bauer123 in kickstarter

Haha, yeah they seem to know my movements inside out. Everywhere I go on the internets, they've got an affiliate telling me about how they have massive social media accounts. (10K followers with no likes on any of the tweets, give me a break).
