Hi, Joe here, heading up Coinbase Cloud. tldr; this is our first step in providing a full set of API based services to build crypto applications and unifying the existing APIs that exist.
Importantly, this will go well beyond interacting with Coinbase existing products and provide tooling needed to make it easier for developers to build new web3 applications.
Hi Joe here, leading up Cloud at Coinbase. Thanks for pointing this out, as a new product there's bound to be some quirks! Really appreciate the feedback. we'll get things like this fixed.
I would love to see some reflection on this story from OP.
What do you think you learned from this experience?
Do you think your response was appropriate?
What would you have done differently?
Are you forever afraid of Prod env?
Many, many , many of us have been in this situation before, whether as 'monumental' or not. So it is interesting to hear how others handle it.
First off, great post. Although it is pretty awesome to see how the community comes together when people are in need, during the storm and aftermath I couldn't help but think about our industry vs others in rebounding efforts. While most startup founders / employees I know were eager, almost rabid to get back to work, a lot of my friends in other industries were very happy to have the few days off, no questions asked.
So my question (which I've been asking myself), do you think that it's an attitude thing? A certain NEED to get back to the grind that our industry has that others don't? Or do you think we are operationally that much better at coming together?
I've been using Canary for dev for a while. I would suggest to have both the shipped and alpha builds of Chrome open at all times. While Canary gives you some nice features early on, it is still considered unstable and you don't want to be testing in an unstable environment. I love using it to dev, but then I always switch back and test everything in prod chrome.
Serious laughs. I once bought a ping-pong table on Amazon and received recommendations for other ping-pong tables from them for months. I think that's what happens when you let robots take over all core competencies of your business. :)
This is such a common question and the answer is always the same. Compromise. No matter what your situation (wife, kids, intern, job, etc) you need to compromise time on some things to make time for others. And depending on your situation it will involve compromise from other people in your life as well like friends,social life,wife,kids.
While most commenters here are right about schedules, That can be hard for some people. What I find is most important is communication with your stakeholders (i.e. wife/gf/kids) and maybe not setting an entire schedule for your whole day , but maybe a set time block a few days a week for "pet project work". What is really important here is do the same for your other responsibilities. Like Tuesday nights is "watch TV with the wife and kids" night and wednesday night is "I work on my project" night.
