It reminded me of a client situation from my first company, Feld Technologies. We were working on a logistics project with a management consulting firm for one of the largest retail companies in the world. I’d dress up in a suit and go with the management consultants to the client and participate in meetings.)
He argued that softwareengineers don’t finish what they start, and that you’re better off paying a technical person than partnering with one. Michael’s second problem comes from holding softwareengineers to an unprecedented standard of business savviness: Most softwareengineers aren’t business people.
Software Developer. Senior SoftwareEngineer - Web-based Applications. at Tableau Software. Front-end UI SoftwareEngineer. Manager, Test Engineering (Performance Team). at Tableau Software. Join Corum Group President Nat Burgess at the offices of Davis Wright Tremaine on July 18.
He also said, “The most important hire I made in my time at the JAIC was the chieftechnologyofficer, Nand Mulchandani.” In this class session Nand Mulchandani, JAIC CTO who just completed an extended stint as Acting Director, continued the discussion of AI and the role of the JAIC. That’s it. Postscript.
Two years ago I got the bug to do an online recruiting startup and I began the hunt to find a technical co-founder - a softwareengineer who works for no cash - to help me build my dream website. You may get a softwareengineer to start something for you, but they wont stick with the project when it gets difficult.
And I’m definitely a nobody. Experienced, talented softwareengineers have lots of options in life, and most of them involve getting paid. Tiny, contracting market. Huge upfront software licensing fees. Imagine you’re a highly-trained softwareengineer. No one funded us. Learned a lot.
Developer, engineer, CTO, or technical co-founder? I do disagree about two other points: First, this isn't the "quora rockstar engineer" perspective. It's my perspective as well and I'm not a softwareengineer let alone a rockstar. It is definitely written in a condescending manner.
But it will definitely raise questions during the phone screen, for reasons that are best explained by simile: Programming with.NET is like cooking in a McDonalds kitchen. Do a curl (or your.NET equivalent) on each domain, and see how many are running a Windows server: I think you’ll find the fraction very small.
Some will definitely go bad. I also know someone else who consulted me about his website idea. But what I think was hard, and it was something he couldnt consider was that it would be harder to find a *maintaining* programmer, and how much it would cost to run the software, because of technical details he didnt understand.
