By understanding problems and then solving them. I cannot think of a more universally useful skillset.
The problem you cite is not solved by requiring businesses to accept cash—it is solved by removing the homeless schizophrenic from the depravity of the street.
Refusing to take part in the banking system is not worth penalizing businesses for. Let the free market work.
But the company feels a little immature. Once our API server became unreachable in Fly for 48 hours. I'm not sure if it was my fault for getting config wrong or if they just had another "silent" failure. They have a "db" product, but it's "not managed postgres". Would get consistent disconnections from that. Just feels weird for them to add a top level noun in their cli for postgres and then limit the extent it's a feature they support.
API access to their core service would frequently go down and leave us waiting to deploy new service fixes.
I miss the deployment experience, but I'm frankly happier with Cloud Run on GCP. Just way fewer "surprises" and much more complete documentation.
Idk what your background is, but if I had to guess you did research for a financial firm that sold memos or a were a consultant.
Information you present seems high quality and it may all be available on the internet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you had to talk to people offline because it’s not just on wikipedia.
All this to say, I fucking love your channel because it is well-researched. Honestly in my first read of GP’s comment, I was expecting him to critique our academic institutions for being unable to reward such content.
