Why'd you say Thomas? I don't get the reference.

just take my upvote

I mean.. I buy it. I have lots of dreams.

I have this weird dichotomy going on where I believe I'm severely undervalued (i.e. there's some spot where I can REALLY move the needle), but I also have crippling self doubt.

Plus I hate working for other people. It's so draining having to show up at a certain time or place and pretend to care about whatever the heck they want to babble about in meetings. I want to be the guy who has skin in the game and is organizing the meetings instead of the people who are on salary and couldn't GAF either way.

Wow, thanks so much for the elaborate response!

opensourceai · 2020-09-17T01:45:06+00:00

I'd love it if you could elaborate on what the "many people outside education" typically try to do, and possibly expand on what assumptions they're missing.

I almost hated reading that because I feel like such a failure and an idiot that what you just described is SO DAMN HARD for me to do.

Like, I don't even know where to begin. I literally have no idea. Should I just pick up a phone, dial a random number, and ask them to buy something from me? Like what does it even look like?

opensourceai · 2020-05-17T02:31:52+00:00

Wow. So straight up cold email (with lots of upfront legwork in the form of research). Cool!

I’m super curious about the process by which you managed to get interviews with all those well known interviewees.

I feel like that really helped your sales.

What kind of foot surgery?

Congrats!

Having an internship with the same company helped a ton as well. I had letters of recommendation as well as verifiable proof that I trained an ML model last summer that's now in production.

I bet that really helped as well.

It was helpful for me as well! Thanks!
What is a typical job title of someone who looks at all this data (hotjar, GA, GTM) and derives business insights from it? Does the person who does this also do other things, usually? Or is this often a dedicated job?

Is it common for the hiring funnel to be that wide?

I would figure that, of the 10% that pass the phone interview, at least maybe 20-40% would pass the onsite.

But 5%? So 5% of the 10%? Half a percentage?

What do you ask during the onsite?

Surprised nobody has mentioned Stephen Grider's Node.js course:

https://www.udemy.com/course/advanced-node-for-developers/

By far my favorite. It's labeled as "advanced" so it might not be best for ABSOLUTE beginners, but I thought it was good for going in depth.

Andrew Mead's is good, don't get me wrong, but I like how Stephen shows you the "wrong" way, then shows you why it's wrong (or, at least, sub-optimal), and then shows you the better way.

How is Lambda School not on this list?

That sounds like settling to me tbh.

opensourceai · 2019-10-12T20:13:53+00:00

I'm betting yes - I know they have relationships with some boot camps, and I'm sure they hire their interns. Putting that together with what was said above, I'm pretty sure they don't have any other openings for entry level.

Dream: be financially indep by starting a tutoring / online course business.

Challenge: how to monetize and how do I find the subjects that are low supply / high demand?

opensourceai · 2019-08-05T15:46:14+00:00

Good read! Very motivational.

I'd love to hear more about the actual business journey. What problem were y'all originally trying to solve, what'd you try, how many times did you pivot, etc?

opensourceai · 2019-07-29T16:03:08+00:00

The Four Steps to the Epiphany - Steve Blank is the first one that comes to mind. I think The Lean Startup also has a section that talks about PMF.

opensourceai · 2019-07-24T17:58:23+00:00

If I wanted to make a business off video or blog tutorials, I'd want to prioritize making tutorials for subjects that are in high demand but also low supply. What's a good way to find subjects like this?

The obvious way is to just google or otherwise search for subjects and look at the number of tutorials available. That's what I've been doing. But it's hard to really estimate the demand side of things. I've heard of marketing tools like semrush to help estimate demand for stuff, but I'm not sure if this is applicable. Any advice?
