Unfortunately I do not plan/want to hand over control of the drone to an AI -> MCP as of know. Currently we plan to generate flight plans on a server and then each drone will request a flight plan and do its stuff.

I’m building a decentralized Drone-as-a-Service (DaaS) orchestration layer that treats aerial robotics as a simple API endpoint.

The system allows users to submit a JSON payload containing geocoordinates and mission requirements (e.g., capture_type: "4K_video" | "IR_photo"), the backend then handles the fleet logistics, selecting the optimal VTOL units from distributed sub-stations based on battery state-of-charge and proximity.

@nickyweek, please provide your contact email.

I have generally move away from JS/TS default. I even avoid react unless it is absolutely necessary. I am moved to more simpler choices when picking tech stacks. I go for the old & tested rather than the fancy, new & shiny choice.

This move has allowed me to maintain a project for long times while still maintaining my peace of mind.

Hey Joshua,

I have been struggling with the same paradox, all AI moat seems to be to remove humans. Although that might be possible in a distant future I don't see it happening anytime soon.

Instead I want AI to be my assistant like and IDE, where it help me get things done faster that I can do it by myself but I am always in command. Also what if there is an AI assistant for each code repo, that understands that repo in its entirely and is downloaded when you clone the repo, it has deep knowledge on the code base, it scope and restrictions, how the code changed over time etc etc.

We can provide Small language models for existing codebases for large organizations like banks which run cobol or some other older tech. This AI then empowers there limited developers to punch way above their numbers and help them developer better, cleaner and faster.

This is one way I am thinking on AI/LLMS as they keep shrinking exponentially and keep becoming more powerful.

I think specialized single purpose embedded AI/LLMS will be the future.

Big fan of Trigger.dev here

We’ve been using it for a while and I’m a super happy customer. The scheduled task feature has been a lifesaver—super simple and just works exactly as expected. Also want to call out the Dev mode: it’s an absolute gem, makes testing and iterating so much smoother than anything else I’ve tried.

Really appreciate the thoughtfulness that’s gone into the product—excited to see the upcoming MicroVM + checkpointing work land!

New Startup 3 years ago

@Anirudh12 please share a little more detail on what guidance are you looking for ?

Hello Harish,

I am an engineering working remotely for a US startup from India. This is my second remote job with a US startup. There is a issue with timezone, but the team eventually figure out how to work together.

For example my team is aware of my availability and usually plans things with that in mind. We try to have meeting in overlapping working times. Sometimes we take exceptions where it might be quite early/late during the day for one team member, but these are very rare.

As long as you have good working relationship & good team , it should not be a big problem.

A software Engineer with 10+ years of experience here.

I would say that all depends on the idea itself and the technical complexity of the app.

If it is a pretty straight forward app you should probably hire a single developer/ team of 2 person to develop the app.

If the idea involves a lot of technical complexities it will be a good idea to get a technical partner first and then look for outside help. The technical partner will help you with some part of the code and managing the freelancer/team etc.

If you are not a technical person, you should really write down what exactly you need from the freelancer even before you start looking for one.

Do not go for the cheapest freelancer that you can find.
