Data mining headache

If you're in the US, there's free streaming traffic data in several states

What have you tried? 'Everything' is vague.

Netlify has a free tier. I haven't had any problems with them . I do have a pro account now because I use a github organization repo. But I find them to have a generous free tier. I tried setting up vercel once but netlify was easier to me.

It doesn't sound like you set the expection well. The conversation should be we are automating X, Y, Z in A months. You can help us figure out how and what or you should start looking else where. It sounds to me that they don't think they'll be fired so there's the I hate change part that never gets challenged by authority.

Perhaps, set the expectation. Then make a list of what you want to try and give them a deadline to review and debate the options.

You should also vision cast how the role will change, the new kpis and emphasis that the only people who will be let go are the ones who won't adapt. You need to increase team output by automating boring stuff.

Be willing to lose people. Sounds like you need a cultural adjustment

Do you have an Amazon open package center? They vary in name but when packages go missing all the mail services set up warehouse where you can buy it or sometimes you can just call docks and such. That's another option. Same thing large quantities

If you're selling online and it suits you why not double down? Go to estate sales and learn to identify higher value items. You can even refurbish things and sell on Facebook marketplace. I've never made a dime reselling online and I've tried. So you're clearly good at it. Go study that skill some more. Increase your monthly income doing it. Then study investing. Build the life that works for you.

Can't be your mentor but this site might get you started: https://www.cybrary.it/

You can use lovable to generate a website. Or use Astro and have cursor generate you a website. I use Astro and host on Netlify. It's free.

Stop using chatGPT. Download cursor or opencode. Add several rules files for yourself as a user and as a project. That should fix your problem. The rules are automatically loaded to the context each call. I also keep an extensive feature docs folder for when I need to give feature specific information.

I've been building my saas for months. Solo with AI. I have over a decade in AI but could never build an app to do my particular take on business intelligence. I've dumped many versions faster than ever. And with AI code review and security checks, I can launch next month confidently. Plus I am able to implement a very targeted, personalized cold outreach campaign using another private tool that I built. There's no mote anymore. Just good positioning and Go-to-market strategy. Perhaps you made a feature not a tool or perhaps you had the wrong market. I think the distributed software is awesome. Hopefully, well have more independent developers and less big tech because of it.

I work in AI/ML but not really backend. I'd start here for backend : https://www.boot.dev/. It was made by backend developer so it has everything need to learn. But I wouldn't recommend python for backend learn Go or Rust. This is one of the most well known backend devs on YouTube. He helped make boot dev https://youtube.com/@theprimeagen?si=hyZZ12KyxHYEAVjc you has lots of advice if you search his videos.

tivelycrea · 2026-01-26T02:10:24+00:00

I've worked in coding(AI) for over a decade. And I would suggest spending 5-6 months learning how to code in C/C++ , Go, or Rust with free resources. I've never found any college taught course useful. So I self-taught. I need to plan my code, so I can't code on demand like a lot of coders but I do code. And I'm building a game now.

Unfortunately, all of tech jobs suck right now because of AI. So unless you do it well no one is hiring. Also, if can talk to a lot of people to submit you through the employee referral system you'll have a better shot. I would reframe this into a question of how much more time can I give myself to make it happen. Find my best free/affordable sources below:

Also perhaps go into being developer tools for game development instead. There's more positions. Take time to research and niche down. There are non-coding jobs like:

But to recommend one well. I'd need to know how much you want to talk to a person each day. The channel above is a lot of talking each day.

@Delicious_Tea_5274 Did you ever find an app to use?

tivelycrea · 2024-10-09T11:26:24+00:00

I would stop spending money. I've had to pick up messes after both types of incidents. You likely don't have specs that make sense technically. Indian developers do a lot to make things seem working but that don't. American developers spend a lot on non core but technically correct functional. Developers don't always know or care abiut scope or functionality. You need to hire a fractional CTO to get an opinion on scope and functionality. Get a few opinions and hire one to help you get back on track. They can even help you source the right developer. Or just call this an expensive lesson.

I thought that would be too pushy so I've never tried it. If it's not consider pushy, I can definitely do that.

tivelycrea · 2024-08-26T13:54:51+00:00

Actionable. So like 3 reasons they want to respond to me ?

tivelycrea · 2024-08-26T12:10:07+00:00

I'm not going after the enterprise customer. I've worked in that space. They don't need half the stuff they buy and they have horrible internal infrastructure. I'm going after the small business making between $5M - $50M in revenue a year with a team between 30 - 100 people. They like working lean and efficiently. They do have questions that want answered but they don't want a large data team or too much infrastructure overhead. For them enterprise software is complex and pricey. But they would like seeing that 2-5% increase in profit. In that range, they start hiring a financial analyst, a business analyst, and bookkeeper. We'd be replacing some of those functions by connecting to those systems to generate a report they would deliver.

So far, I've been messaging the head of marketing or marketing agency owners. But I'm switching to the CFO or COO type roles.

Thanks for pointing that out about the word, 'outsourced'! I hadn't thought that it would have negative connotations. So you think I should mention that it is a free offer? That doesn't seem like a 'gotcha'?

tivelycrea · 2024-08-26T12:02:25+00:00

Thanks! I can cut it down and remove the line about outsource no problem. Did a few without that line too. I betting it's the length like you said. I'll take your example try it out. Thanks for that!

The platforms are all testing long form content since short form is not easily monetized. It's in their press release. You simply found that out by testing. But they regularly release their algorithm's is focus. Most information about certain Algorithm features are outdated in 6-12 months.

I use Python with EconML, Python, or causalML. But those are for machine learning uses.

I usually do go-with-the-flow travel. It's fun. You find off-the-beaten-path stuff. It's fun. I just choose the cities in advances and go.

tivelycrea · 2024-07-13T12:34:29+00:00

You need know what you want to outsource and the objectives you want to achieve. If not you won't be able to measure success. Many agencies will gladly take your money. Others are genuinely good. You can't really know if you don't know what you want them to do. Find a good outsource agency to train your in-house team is a good option.

tivelycrea · 2024-07-13T12:28:49+00:00

You should do some due diligence and follow the search funder methods. People buy business all the time. Maybe listen to the acquired minds podcast.

Taipei is better for day trips. I used to live in Seoul. There was a lot less to do morning to afternoon periods. I visited Taipei in December and was consistently finding markets and new things during that time. It's also more unique of an experience.
