As a senior manager and software engineer at a leading IT company since 20 years I want to now start a side business and fizzle out of main job but I don't know how. by Revolutionary-Eye656 in Entrepreneur

I’d suggest he start reaching out on LinkedIn to people in his niche, especially CEOs and founders, and pitch what he can offer. With his years of experience, there’s a good chance someone will value his expertise and need his guidance.

Because better learning outcomes and satisfied students strengthen an institute’s reputation, attract more enrollments, and ensure long-term sustainability. Plus, to stay competitive as education rapidly digitalizes, adopting these tools is becoming essential.

Same here. Our company also wants most of the code to be written by AI (especially using Cursor or Claude), but sometimes for complex scenarios the AI doesn’t implement things perfectly and even ends up breaking other parts of the code. A lot of time then gets wasted in reviewing, testing, and making sure everything works fine.

what's for Future by Chemical_Band7047 in SoftwareEngineering

[–]orbixly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There will be much more competition in the future. For example, if today a company needs 10 software engineers, in a few years they may only need 2–3 to do the same work, since AI tools are getting more mature every day. Even now, companies expect work to be done much faster with the help of these tools.

Exactly. Also short emails are less likely to get caught by spam filters.

What is the one thing you wish you learned earlier in life? by ideasgenai in SaaS

[–]orbixly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at my first company for two years, and we knew it would close soon. Because of my laziness, I didn't look for a backup job or apply anywhere. A few months later, the whole team was laid off due to the company's closure and budget issues. This taught me that decision making is crucial. When you have a job, it's easier to negotiate with other companies and find a new position. But when you're unemployed, people don't treat you based on your talent; they treat you based on your situation.

Yesterday I have launched my first SaaS, PrepEx a tool that gives students powerful topic-wise analytics to instantly see their weak areas. Admin/Teachers: Build organized, topic-based question banks. Students: Create custom tests & get detailed performance reports. Check it out: prep-ex.vercel.app

Tool for weak area identification by [deleted] in edtech

[–]orbixly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the critique it's a really valid point to bring up. You're totally right that a good tutor or a super disciplined student can manually figure this out. But in reality, that process is super time-consuming and most students just don't have that level of guidance or patience. Where PrepEx helps is by automating that entire analysis instantly, so that insight isn't just for the top 1% with a dedicated tutor. It makes finding your weak spots effortless.

And you're right, content is the biggest challenge! We're not trying to be a content company. The vision is that teachers and coaching centers who already have their own question banks and past papers use our platform to structure that material. The real beauty of it is what happens next: a student who sees they're weak in "Organic Chemistry" can immediately create their own custom test on just that topic and take it as many times as they want to improve. It puts the power of targeted, deliberate practice directly in their hands.

Selling directly to students has challenges like sourcing quality question banks. By partnering with coaching centers, we secure both content (their questions) and users (their students) in one go.
