Humans have a tendency to downplay what we have and focus on what's missing (missing tile syndrome and whatnot). I have had my share of these feelings over the years. 2 weeks ago, I decided to quit my job and start my entrepreneurship journey. I have no clue on what I am going to build, but excited (call it stupid naivety). I am glad, I decided to do something about the feelings I've had. Be biased towards action.
Curious mind here: I have few projects running on Firebase. Haven't had any issues so far. What type of safety issues/bugs and limitations are you referring to?
Thank you ... I've given myself end of this year to start enjoying it, else I am out :-)
AWS, GCP and Azure are all solid cloud platforms with high market adoption. I've found AWS easier to work with given the super simple and extensive documentation. However, you can't go wrong with any of the CP. what is important is you pick one, get started and work relentlessly and become the best consultant there is. It's not easy, but its that simple ! all the best !
Looks like your DM's on twitter are off. hit me up @appscurry
Lots of good advice around. My Personal story might have a few takeaways for you. Started as a sw developer in India, moved to US progressed as technical expert on the product. Moved back to India and became Manager. In 3 years as a manager realized how much I liked coding. I am at best an average developer, but the satisfaction I got after fixing a small defect was priceless. By this time I've had 15 years of "experience" in industry. I did my masters and now working as a full stack developer. Couldn't be happier.
Take a month off your job. Find out what you really like. You can read through all the replies let them brew, but the final answer will come from within. Trust your gut and take the risk.
May the force be with you !!!
Have I posted this while i was sleeping? It sounds exactly like me. I guess I am bitten by analysis paralysis bug. With hundreds of new frameworks coming out each day, one day you think to solve a problem with shiny new tool, next day there is a new one. I spend @ couple of hours each day "thinking" about items to build, unfortunately not been able to draw a line in sand and start it.
Nice work ... what about privacy tough? If I am not mistaken, the album id is 6 chars long with the combination of lower and uppercase a-z and digits, can be brute forced...
You've struck a chord there.... I graduated from a college and got a high paying job in a big enterprise, the pay was good so, I stuck to it, I am a mediocre developer, I faked my way and moved up into the organization, now I am Group Lead and pretty good at it, I love working with people. However, I'ev recently developed an itch and really want to code. Now with 10 years of "experience" behind me, I am not getting the roles of developer, as in India, there is very high importance attached to the number of years of experience. I want to make a move and start all over again, but again the pay is too good to quit.
I know this is not the right place, but I've to mention 2 things: I visited the site: http://www.startupdiaries.info/ 1) I could not find any way to contact you. 2) When I register on the site, I got the activation mail, which had the URL starting with: "http://localhost:3000
1) Strive for excellence and not success.... it shall follow 2) Don't take anything at face value, question it ...
But, i doubt a younger me would listen ...
