Keep Saas Domain MVP Skills as Expertise

Less ambitious about titles, curious about technology, its age of knowledge, and saas beyond titles and roles - Future Careers

  • Little expertise - Knowing how to use, Demos
  • Deep expertise - Where to use, How it works, Where not to use
  • Deep expertise is - Is this hype or relevant

 
  • Getting better sometimes takes time, iterations, and cycles.
  • Knowing a domain/idea, being able to code up, speak is all the skill we need :)
The core of Learning is
  • Daily Habit formation
  • Compare your growth over time
  • Similar situations / Never materialized
  • Building intuitions is the outcome of 10K hours
  • Teaching helps ok at something to getting a better
  • Iteration and thoughts formulation
  • 10 hours to create 1-hour content
  • Teaching strengthens understanding, spots gaps in knowledge
  • The domain learning's, customer challenges will push our interests to continue to practice solving real-world problems 
  • Breaking the problems down into discrete chunks that can be independently implemented
  • You waste more time jumping into a program without direction by solving only interview questions
  • Most people make the mistake of jumping straight to code without having the full picture in their heads
  • "getting stuff done" at work and "perfecting the craft" in my spare time is an attempt to strike a balance: Think about the design, leave things nicer, but don't spend forever.
  • Perfecting the craft leaves you to read up, teach, and code on weekends :)
  • A balance between perfect vs good enough vs working solution
Keep Exploring!!!
