tpaeon Ask HN: What is your advice for a technical founder learning sales?

Identify your core issues clearly. Sometimes, when your customer reaches the sales process, doesn't understand what you are selling, it's a marketing problem.

Process is everything. If you can map out the entire sales process in sequences, you can find ways to optimize it.

I started my sales funnel with mostly manual touch points, and gradually started adding automation (automated cadences, automated scheduling, and etc) and we were able to increase our efficiency by 200%.

Track EVERYTHING. Each metric matters a lot, and if you don't have a dashboard of all the metrics, you are going to make some bad decisions (learned it through trial and error)

tpaeon 24% of Tesla Model 3 orders have been canceled, analyst says

How can he be so certain of this? Analysis doesn't make it a fact, and even Tesla spokesperson is denying it..

I think it depends on what you mean by average US citizen, America is divided to the point of no return, there's angry mobs on both sides of the field.

There's so many problems, can't really pin point a few without opening bag of cats.

Personally, I feel fundamental problem lies with the media, fake or biased news are out of control, it's gotten to a point where I don't trust the media anymore. It sickens me to read exaggerated headlines designed to catch my attention.

Fake. I wouldn't use this even if it was powered by AI.

tpaeon IIHS: Model S has higher collision claim frequencies than comparable luxury cars

> The higher claim severity for the Tesla Model S may possibly be attributed to the battery replacement cost of approximately $16,000.

This seems pretty important metric to me.

> Injury related coverages were also not included due to the small numbers of claims associated with the electric vehicles.

I would like to see more of this with the comparison.

tpaeon Show HN: Zircle UI – a circular zooming user interface library based on Vue.js

I like it, but it's a bit nausea inducing for me. I'm also the type of person that feels nausea playing FPS games, shifting my focus quickly is not the right feel for me.

tpaeon Ask HN: Anyone know how to get a tour of Tesla?

Hey there. You have to know an employee to get a tour. Shoot me an email: tpae@tesla.com and I'll see if I can set you up.

Sometimes they don't have enough slots available, so there's a chance we might not get it. I'll give it a shot for you.

tpaeon Ask HN: Is changing career at age 30 right choice?

Decide whether coding is a good fit for you. If you are one of these things:

* You love learning.

* You love to build (legos, woodwork, pillow fort, etc)

* You prefer efficiency (you like to do it easier, you find shortcuts)

* You are patient (you can do repetitive tasks without complaints)

* You like math (you don't need calculus, and you don't hate math)

With 0 experience, I would start by pursing QA (Quality Assurance) and user testing. It will help you better understand how things are made without actually making them.

https://www.usertesting.com/

Try to be good at it, and start doing freelance QA work (there's plenty of jobs).

Once you feel comfortable how it works, then you can pursue whichever direction you want. Let it be iOS, web, Android, whatever.

tpaeon Ask HN: Fear?

Let it go.

I stopped caring about what other people will think/feel/benefit, it has nothing to do with me.

If you love what you do, then f* them. Just do it.

tpaeon Ask HN: Web developer and looking for a career change, what are my options?

> Note that I am only 20 so I don't have that much experience either, and finding a good developer's job seems hard given the competition for all the good startups.

If you don't have a CS degree, then I would pursue it if I were you. I used to be like you (I was 20, now I'm 30 with CS degree), and it's been the best investment I've made.

> After a year at my job it seems like I'm no longer interested in programming - I am no longer excited about new frameworks, etc

Yes. This is because you've hit a ceiling with your learning. In order for you to move forward, you should touch up on basics.

> I don't feel interested in learning those fields (ML looks like magic to me and involves lots of math, which I suck at).

If you played Diablo, you need to learn your pre-requisites before taking these on. Once you have the basic fundamentals, it will come to you.

Right now, you are still too early in your career. I would focus on building a strong foundation (CS degree). Everything else will come to you over time.

tpaeon Ask HN: Just made Director, now what?

Don't burn out too quickly.

Being a director means you have more responsibilities, but if you are too focused on trying to make everyone happy, you could set yourself up for a burn out.

Identify key individuals to help you (usually lead engineers), and give them your trust to do their job.

Focus on larger initiatives, give both positive and negative feedback, encourage healthy competition, and always be forgiving. Always be approachable, but never let them take your presence for granted.

Ultimately, you will find a larger reward when you take time developing individual relationships. They will appreciate your attention, and in turn, you will have direct influence over them.

tpaeon Medium’s engineering interview process (2016)

I've interviewed there after reading the article.

In fact, I can say that the experience was almost the opposite of what's outlined there.

I was there onsite, 4 interview sessions, 45 minutes each:

1. Hangman game on coderpad (on a computer). 2. Design an elevator (whiteboard). 3. Tic-tac-toe solver (whiteboard). 4. q&a session with product manager.

I was able to answer all the questions easily, and felt really good overall. After the interview, everyone generally "seemed positive" but in the end, I was rejected.

Throughout the whole process, I didn't even get to meet the recruiter who put me there. She sent me a cold rejection letter and zero feedback.

I was genuinely excited to read about their hiring process, felt it was going to be different, but I was pretty disappointed.

tpaeon Self-Driving Taxis Will Become the Most Disgusting Spaces on Earth

Isn't this the same for all types of public transportation? I sometimes find BART very disgusting. If you ride it 11PM on a Friday night, the whole section reeks of drunken people smell. Not to mention, you sometimes see throw ups that never gets cleaned.

It also has a lot to do with competition and the self driving taxi market. If self driving taxi company A is consistently giving riders bad experience with dirtiness, then there's going to be a company B that will come out with cleaner solution.

If you think about it, there are far more places that's more disgusting than self driving taxis..

tpaeon Ask HN: What about a platform for hiring teams instead of individuals?

You had strong valid points :)

Thank you for the feedback! Look forward to hear from us again. ;)

tpaeon Ask HN: What about a platform for hiring teams instead of individuals?

Thank you for the awesome feedback. :-) I am sorry if it frustrated you.

Sorry about the mega payload. I was still in process of optimizing it when this thread came out 5am this morning (I saw it during my morning jog). I knew we had to get this out there ASAP.

Scroll-jacking is annoying, I know. I'm in the process of fixing it. I think we need to optimize our designs first.

I'm using React with next.js, which makes deployment + development super simple.

The point of scroll position was for URL shortcuts, sorry about that! I'll disable the history and maybe that will make things better.

tpaeon Ask HN: What about a platform for hiring teams instead of individuals?

We started this service because we felt a strong need for it. As a software engineer working in Bay Area, I've always wanted to freelance because it's too much of a burden living here. I've thought about applying to remote jobs, but freelancing feels like it has more freedom.

We have a strong mission, and we want to make it easy and accessible for anyone that wants to become a freelancer. The answer is through teams, with specialization, collaboration, and having that comparative advantage will allow teams to thrive.

tpaeon Ask HN: What about a platform for hiring teams instead of individuals?

Yes. During our beta, we will focus on organizing teams. Our platform will have emphasis on matchmaking, with enhanced personal profiles to make it easier to find/join teams. We will be introducing client leads when we officially launch, it will become a marketplace to showcase teams with projects.

The bigger picture is to allow teams to "grow together" which is to showcase the work they've done together as a team. We want to have team-based portfolios to make hiring choices easier for companies.

We feel synergy is an essential part of effective teams, and we are putting a lot of emphasis on showing that.

tpaeon Ask HN: What about a platform for hiring teams instead of individuals?

Thank you :) We currently don't offer any early incentives, since we're going to be a free service.

If you are selected for our closed beta, you will receive recognition within our platform as early user. Details coming soon!
