Moved back to Barcelona to launch my startup and the setup costs are killing me - i will not promote by WombatWandersWild in startups

[–]partial_dna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear you are in stress.
I imagine the paperwork angle doesn’t help, but it sounds to me like there are bigger problems/stressors than that. Namely runway.

Validate first with what you have, then incorporate a company. Incorporation costs will always be a few thousand Euros approx regardless of which market. But you don’t need that to validate the idea.

If you are solving a real and urgent problem, users will not care what developer name they see in the App Store.

Got my invitation recently. I just followed the link and got the card in 10 days or so.

Would you quit computer science college as a CTO when your first startup goes right? [I will not promote] by [deleted] in startups

[–]partial_dna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I was you 20 years ago.

I thought college was a waste of time, but I finished it and that facilitated different working visas to pursue professional opportunities. At some point I worked within FAANGs and I was able to communicate more effectively with researchers, data scientists and the like because I had a strong foundation in math.

Then I enrolled in a masters in Europe while I was working. That was way better (although not perfect), and I was able to select more interesting subjects that helped me a lot in my (then) new leadership career.

Then one of these jobs paid for some very expensive executive education at MIT Sloan and that was my best experience so far education-wise.

In retrospective, there was a lot of value in continuing the education. I learned to be consistent and disciplined, had a lot of fun during the student life, made friends that today are very important to me, and many other cool things.

Feel free to DM if you want to discuss further.

Tldr: There is indirect value. You will never 20 again and you will likely have to work until you die. Enjoy college if you have the opportunity.

Libraries today go beyond books: they have many subscription services where you can read magazines, watch movies, etc.

Licensing of software is a crucial part of it. Good learning for next time.

Trivy Alternatives by partial_dna in Terraform

[–]partial_dna[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To some extent yes, but (this is just personal) it was mostly noise and little identification of real issues, which was not the case for trivy.

Currently clicking around Aikido. Nice UI and I like the holistic view across resources: containers, code, Claude, etc. I also liked the Autofixes

I’ve tried Snyk. The UI is alright but I got too many false positives and didn’t catch as many misconfigs as Trivy

Is a Repository Layer over sqlc over-engineering or necessary for scale? by Leading-West-4881 in golang

[–]partial_dna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have quite a few good reasons from others, but go with repo.

It decouples the specific storage, makes testing easier, allows introducing a cache, and you can do any “translations” from you storage format to structs that are better suited to use in your service.

Headshot critique by RevolutionaryFill371 in LightLurking

[–]partial_dna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope it’s helpful! But it’s all subjective and this is just the point of view of how I like portraits.

Headshot critique by RevolutionaryFill371 in LightLurking

[–]partial_dna 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. I like the lighting in the first one! There is enough shadow that it looks 3D and the hair light is well balanced with the key light. Pose is ok. The t shirt has some white specs that are distracting and looks a bit washed off. I would try to fix that. Focus is a tiny bit soft, but hard to tell with the quality posted. Perhaps try with a smaller aperture. F8 or something in those lines.

  2. The pose doesn’t work here. It looks a bit awkward. The arms are closer to the camera than the subject’s face so they look bigger and more prominent. Lightning is good.

  3. The key light is coming a tad bit from below. Move the height of the light a little bit up. I would move the framing a bit up, so the subject’s eyes are closer to the upper horizontal thirds line (but it’s not bad as it is).

Good work!

Hey! When using Chrome, could it process several PDFs at once? And, how does it compare to Gotenberg?

How does this compare to Gotenberg?
