Startup then vs Startup now

Want to create some open-source software. If anyone can guide me how to start building the community or some basic knowhow of building from any prior knowledge, then that would be very helpful. I have decent amount of experience but not in developing oss.

TIA

Need some help around open source software

Please provide the exact model if possible along with the price you bought it for. Looking to buy a new laptop without spending a fortune.

If you are a software developer, which laptop do you use and why?

If founders care more about customer then they don't have to bow infront of VCs.

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

Was thinking of starting up an ai wrapper product which would use llm and nlp to parse policy documents and alert governments. Any scope?

AI wrappers done?

I am an engineer, what I enjoy is solving technically challenging problems. I don't really want to spend my time bothering with non-code solutions to your business problem, and I don't care how much money my code makes you. Just have a tech lead give me a challenging tech problem to solve or build for(WITH the necessary requirements) and I'll get it done. Simple. 


Personally I'm saddened to see how chasing impact has taken over all good tech companies, and how you basically HAVE to create value and take ownership in other ways if you want to be SDE-3 or higher. I would rather be a more technically competent, deliverer SDE (think someone who's extremely good at being an SDE-1). Climbing the SDE ladder is boring.

Any other engineers find it boring and frustrating to chase impact?

Marc Andreessen famously declared, "Software is eating the World," and the truth in that statement has only grown with time. But here's the kicker: software itself is now under threat, because "Data is eating Software."
The evolution of technology has reached a fascinating moment.

Back in the day, individuals and organizations ran their own servers. Essentially, it was highly centralized and resource-intensive. Then came the era of Cloud Computing, which transformed computing into a utility, much like electricity. Cloud computing became widely accessible through AWS, Azure, and GCP and quickly commoditized server infrastructure. 

This shift enabled unparalleled scalability and flexibility, essentially democratizing access to computing power.

Now, a similar transformation is underway in AI, particularly with the foundational models developed by tech companies like Meta, OpenAI, Google, and others.

Here's where the ambitious vision for the future unfolds.
Just as Cloud Computing commoditized servers, data is poised to commoditize foundational AI models. 
These models are remarkably powerful, but they will too hit an upper limit on how great they can be. 

As Data accumulates at an exponential rate, it's becoming clear that Data, not these foundational models, will be the only sustainable moat in any AI application.

The true moat isn't the model itself; it's the data that refines and trains the model. Data will be the key to unlocking the full potential of AI, enabling personalized experiences, hyper-accurate predictions, and previously unimaginable insights.

So, while Marc Andreessen's proclamation about software remains timeless, the torch is passing to "Data is eating Software."

Marc Andreessen said, "Software is eating the World." Now, "Data is eating Software"

👩‍💻👨‍💻 Developers, what is the first thing you would install on a freshly bought laptop?

What to install

The breadth of things, and the speed at which Jio rolls out successful ventures is crazy!

Everyone wants Google's distribution, but no one wants to pay for it.

Everyone wants Google to stop doing what it's doing, but no one wants to invest in an alternative.

Alternatives, if any coming up, from India will be of cheap quality. Does anyone remember what happened to BharatOS, or what's happening with Krutrim. 

What these app developers are not realising is that, their business is more or less happening because Android as an OS is there. It's not just about play store. 

I wonder why they're not cribbing against the Apple app store. 

Could the rates be lower? Yes.
But what's in it for Google or Apple when that entire section of business is because of them?

No one is stopping anyone from building a new OS, a better one. As long as a good quality one is not coming up, everyone will have to rely on Google or Apple. 

It feels really bad when the founders try to make it a national issue as well 🤦🏻‍♂️

Oh, and even if a new OS comes up, I wonder how they're going to sustain it, plus make people choose that without the availability of other apps.
