When you are a one-man startup

Everyone needs a hobby. And some take it more seriously than others. Here's some cliched startup gyaan for someone wanting to take the plunge!
  1. Time is money
  2. Have a time table and follow it, specially if you have a day job
  3. Sharpen your tools
  4. Don't spend time on anything you are not good at, because #1
  5. Automation is the key. if it can be automated, it should be automated
  6. Health comes first
  7. Develop to sell. If it cannot be sold, it should not be built
  8. Have an exit plan and follow it. "I'll shut shop if I cannot get 10 paying customers in 6 months"
  9. You are the average of five people you spend most of your time with
  10. Don't stop having fun!
Cheers!

How the Python import system works

How the Python import system works From:  https://tenthousandmeters.com/blog/python-behind-the-scenes-11-how-the-python-import-system-works/ If you ask me to name the most misunderstood aspect of Python, I will answer without a second thought: the Python import system. Just remember how many times you used relative imports and got something like  ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package ; or tried to figure out how to structure a project so that all the imports work correctly; or hacked  sys.path  when you couldn't find a better solution. Every Python programmer experienced something like this, and popular StackOverflow questions, such us  Importing files from different folder  (1822 votes),  Relative imports in Python 3  (1064 votes) and  Relative imports for the billionth time  (993 votes), are a good indicator of that. The Python import system doesn't just seem complicated – it is complicated. So even though the  documentation  is really good, it d

On working remote

The last company I worked for, did have an office space, but the code was all on Github, infra on AWS, we tracked issues over Asana and more or less each person had at least one project they could call "their own" (I had a bunch of them ;-)). This worked pretty well. And it gave me a feeling that working remote would not be very different from this. So when we started working on our own startup, we started with working from our homes. It looked great at first. I could now spend more time with Mom and could work at leisure. However, it is not as good as it looks like. At times it just feels you are busy without business, that you had been working, yet didn't achieve much. If you are evaluating working from home and are not sure of how to start, or you already do (then please review and add your views in comments) and feel like you were better off in the office, do read on. Remote work is great. But a physical office is better. So if you can, find yourself a co-working s

Todo lists are overrated

My tasks come from a variety of sources: 1) Tasks from emails  2) Meeting notes with details of people who participated  3) Project related tasks that can have a long format and can be tagged/ delegated  4) Scratchpad for unrefined ideas  5) Detailed documentation for completed technical tasks / ideas  6) FIFO list of high priority small daily tasks No one app has been able to map all the requirements above, and I have tried a lot of them! In my lifetime I’ve tried a dozen todo apps. In the beginning they all seem different, novel and special. Slick UI, shortcuts, tags, subtasks, the list goes on and on. But all our stories were the same: I start using the new app, then after awhile I stop using it. Up until the last week I thought the problem was in myself (you probably think so too). After all, David Allen seems to have figured this shit out. Also there are people leaving long 5 star reviews on every major todo list app, they discuss them on forums, recommend them to friends. But the
