we are running the annual survey again. Last year we had almost 2k responses, and it would be great to top that!
The survey covers all roles and levels: ICs, managers, directors and freelancers. This year we also added a couple of questions on benefits, remote work policies, AI adoption, and salary negotiation.
it takes about 4 minutes, and the full report will be published a couple of weeks after the survey closes.
It does not mean you never can start something again! I am definitely gonna keep trying ... my thinking was only: I need to get more into a startup scene and Berlin should be a great choice for this.
I admire this effort and wish you a lot of success with it.
I see three main problems:
1) tech people probably do not cook much and more order/eat out, so it is hard for me to imagine chefs/grandmas/not-tech-savvy people using it;
2) main problem for people cooking/experimenting is to decide what exactly to cook - and here you would usually go for something proven (e.g a cook-book or a website)
3) there is a reason not everyone can be a good recipe developer, because it takes a lot of experience and knowledge and you cannot really copy/paste and publish from existing pages/books. I am not sure if I would try a random "forked" recipe.
Good luck, I am interested in what comes out of it!
Thanks for your thoughts, Irongirl1, I am actually based in Europe, so I hope there is some hope left. But I also get your point. I have gotten some nice feedback on my advert at least, so this feels good. I also got some "applicants", however only one followed my instructions. :) Also got bunch of people offering me their service...
I will check your suggestion! Thanks for taking your time.
Hm, that is an interesting point as well.
I have a basis in Python, but I also know that my strengths are rather elsewhere, so then if I invest 18 months in learning to code it is still likely my coding skills will be below average and I will just add another "not really an expert" skill into my CV. You can see some of my context on the link I posted to other comments here in the thread.
So, at least ... I got some replies, do you think I should repost? I do not know how it works, because I only recently joined, and did not wanna come across silly.
No worries, I like your input. I think I am in the category of solid business knowledge/skills/experience :) And I am also curious to learn stuff and have some technical skills.
Haha, I love your 99 analogy! I am in fact thinking in this direction already (eg. Zapier and similar) and will do majority of ground-work myself. But I am also aware that my topic is sensitive, so it will be hard to prove that it works.
I am worried there is a big difference between some playgorund and the real deal.
I was thinking about hiring someone - but then I also watched Y Combinator stuff and realised it will be very hard for me to iterate and that my failure probability will be much higher.
