Can you kindly elaborate on steps 4 and 5?

How do you do that post-mortem? I can agree, let's say if the problem is 'pick top k elements', and you already know what needs to be done, you can hone in on what went wrong. But in cases where you don't know how to come up with the steps, how do you go about that?

Thanks!

Really great example of how to build indie projects. You built a solution to a problem you've personally experienced, and you solve it for others who may face the problem. Congratulations, good work! Also, site is very clean. I would give a try if I were making music.

You maybe able to target a wider audience given your product is now mature. If you are willing and able to scale, maybe a SEO / Marketing specialist will be helpful in taking it to the next level.


Well-deserved success, and very inspirational!


Developer Tune-Up by Neil on Software is a similar categorization of skills and growth areas. it's worth giving a try.


Congrats on the launch. I haven't heard of other businesses approaching the market, with similar angles (fresh, non-GMO). There's a trend now for boutique food brands - maybe you can ride this wave well. Goodluck to you again!


I consider Andrew Ng's ML course - https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning the best place to start, in addition to his https://deeplearning.ai courses.


My opinion of Sapiens is the same as well - very broad strokes. I feel Sapiens is heavily promoted because of ease in which the content flows? - maybe that's the selling point of the book?


The article definitely points out the wrongs done by IMF/World bank. Are there any resources you can point me to, such as data / financial reports which highlight how the resources are misused / mishandled?

At a personal level, it seems to me that this phenomenon could be applied to e-books as well. I have hundreds of kindle books I bought from amazon which aren't read yet. This is how it happens. You see a book, and you want it in your library and you imagine one day you'll get the time to enjoy it, but that day never arrives.

The proliferation of book recommendation systems and the websites which create lists of "To read" books are to be blamed as well. Maybe not. One thing author talks about: preserving books for the next generation, that doesn't apply to e-books either in the physical.

Interesting!
