Let me play the devil's advocate. How do you know that you are right and they are wrong. All along you both were on the same page and you are successful. May be they are right. But, in any case, it all depends on the contract you have. Legally binding crap takes precedence. The next best option is to to sell, may be 60 or 75% stake to the other co-founder. They have the right of first refusal rather than selling it to your competitor. In any case, be very friendly. If and when it goes south, they may need you to right the ship.
As always, you are the best judge of the situation.
"One of Tetlock's findings from the Good Judgment Project was that cognitive and personality traits were more important than specialised knowledge when it came to predicting the outcome of various world events typically more accurately than intelligence agencies"
I think you may be confusing CS with Software Engineering. CS is a math heavy field that talks about computing machines, architecture, Operating system, among tons of other things. At Masters level, a degree of programming is almost always a pre-req unless the University is a diploma mill.
I have vast industry experience. I know lot of problems in different businesses. The challenge I have is putting together a good 2-3 member team. My friends are retired full time workers. If you are interested, DM me.
You have to choose the right road with right companion for the journey. If you choose the wrong road, does not matter how fast or hard you go, you will never get there.
Since the question is a bit open-ended, here are the possible options....
If he wants to do programming for fun, which is not the case, I think age does not matter. Actually programming for fun is a good place to start - get a feel - and then monetize the skill accordingly.
I believe with his management skills, like 20-40% technical skills is all that is required to be a techno-functional-engineering manager (depending on the organization).
Since he is new to programming, he does not have the "baggage" of outdated/irrelevant skillsets (CORBA anyone?) - so that is a good thing.
Barrier to entry is low which is good - so it is a good idea that if he wants to take this up!
I think the challenge would be, with his management skills, it would be hard to swallow how some managers mismanage...
The BEST product launch I have seen in HN. Very impressive resumes with grit and passion!!
Am a born vegetarian (Lacto-vegan). When 1 lb of meat is produced by 600 lbs of grass, we definitely need more efficient ways of making meat.
I dont want to eat meat but I will be your secret supporter and secretly follow your progress. Cheers!
Yeah, 2 owners like Guantanamo? Ukraine can relinquish control for a known time, even a year. Russia would dare not start war by crossing another country.
If there is no will to defend, there is no solution.
what is EU going to do if Russia invades Poland anyway? Thermonuclear war? Are you saying the whole security apparatus and international institutions are all bluff? If so, Russia would have figured out the bluff by now.
I am not saying from defensive posture -but from a posture to prevent further escalation and aggression. Russia is able to do what it does is simply because it thinks it can get away with it. It is not fair - so ring fencing at the cheapest cost to force NATO to trigger Article V will give pause. will Russia cross the red line?
I think while Russia thinks creatively, the other side thinks linearly. Spain, UK, France or Poland should buy the land and poke a finger at the aggressor - just a thought.
Before starting a business (which means you want to work for yourself and make money), you have to build on your expertise and strengths. If you are a software professional, may be you can start a SAAS or some service business. If you are a chef, then starting a restaurant is a natural line of work. You should also know a little bit of accounting and rules and regulations in your business. Please do not hesitate to DM me.
I have been through tough times. Here is what I found that worked
- assess your strengths and keep a tab on skills you want to acquire - hobbies, softskills like empathy etc is more important than technical/work skills
- music mostly classical ones
- friends - chat up
- cooking
- reading something/anything even many times over.
Bottom like - you do anything that gets you in a flow. Time is a great healer.
The point of life is to enjoy as much as you want. If you want to prove you are the most noble - yes there is a way or most educated, yes there is a way too. You can decide to maximize and minimize whatever you want. Your question comes off as if "What is the point of Life (as decided by someone and I am trying to figure out)". The answer is there is no point set by anyone other than you (or who controls like, if you were in specific countries/area domicile).
You can then write some proprietary components and add a note to the original work that to get additional features, they should email you. M&M principle could also work.
There is a structure to being creative - not that I could make any claim to being one. You can be creative in original thoughts and ideas, structural creativity in designs - buildings, paintings, policy making etc. In all cases I see that you have to dispassionately dissociate yourself from the doer (which is again you). Please tell us/me your progress
If your research involves collaboration, may be you could ask in your department, for example, so it becomes easier to share and exchange thoughts? Just a thought.
Hiring manager care for what you bring to the table matches what they are looking for, assuming you get along well and such. It is likely you will get interview call. Your company's income statement does not matter.
Not getting interview call does not mean you are not qualified - it could mean you are not qualified enough amongst the pool. Some recruiters/agencies have shill jobs just to attract candidates.
