Do you want to start an EA software startup? A few things to probably avoid [I hate writing generic advice like this but it seems to be a reoccurring question]
Announce “EA CTOs” plus maybe a few similar peer groups
Against generic advice—why I’m so strongly against questions like “what should I know if I want to start a startup” [this will be really hard to write but is really close to my heart]. Related:
How to find mentoring for a startup/project (much better than reading generic advice!!!)
“Software Engineers: How to have impact?”—meant to mostly replace the 80k software career review, will probably be co-authored with 80k
My side project: Finding the most impactful tech companies in Israel
Common questions and answers with software developers
How to negotiate for salary (TL;DR: If you don’t have an offer from another company, you’re playing hard mode. All the other people giving salary-negotiation advice seem to be ignoring this)
How to build skill in the long term
How to conduct a job search
When focusing on 1-2 companies, like “only Google or OpenAI”
When there are a lot of options
How to compare the companies I’m interviewing for?
Not sure what you are looking for in a job?
I’m not enjoying software development, is it for me? [uncertain I can write this well as text]
So many things to learn, where to start?
I want to develop faster / I want to be a 10x developer / Should I learn speed typing? (TL;DR: No)
Q: I have a super hard bug that is taking me too long panic!
Goodheart Meta: Is posting this week a good idea at all? If more stuff is posted, will less people read my own posts?
