lfoooo

I use GitLab to run a React Native test suite (android and iphone) in a Mac. https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/

In the past (~2016) I did the solutions architect associate and received many invites because of it...

After that, I founded a startup that didn't go well and I'm planning to return to the market in the next months (as swe or devops/sre) and in my preparation plan is, besides other things (practice algorithm, systems design...), take some certs:

- SOA-C02 - AWS SysOps Administrator - Associate (passed last month)

- DOP-C01 - AWS DevOps Engineer - Professional (exam in December)

- CKA - Certified Kubernetes Administrator (Jan/Feb?)

All out of my pocket. I don't think this makes a huge technical difference, but it open doors, the process is great to learn and I also want to be prepared for future interviews, maybe a MANGA/FAANG? :)

Remote only from Canada?

Something like https://nextdns.io ?

Maybe Wire https://wire.com/en/ ?

I'm in a very similar situation. My partners have other business besides the startup and I believe this is one of the main problems that's blocking our growth.

I suggest you: (1) to define tasks for your partners on a board (like trello), then just follow the tasks if they are being executed. (2) to have a limit date for the startup to profit and grow, and if the date is not met think about leave the startup.

Time is the most valuable asset. Use it wisely :)
