So, this made me wonder, is the current AI landscape impacting your future decisions like having kids, moving to another place, leaving your current job, etc?
I can get abc.dev though, it's available in Namecheap for example. But my concern is, is .dev reliable? I know that past year Google sold the domains business, in fact, I moved some other domains I had registered in Google to a different registrar, so, as Google was (is?) the owner of .dev, I would like to know whether there are some reliability issues now like poor performance, spam, etc.
In summary, there were two points of view.
One defended that a salary should represent the responsibilities of the employee for the role within the salary band. In other words, if you barely meet the requirements for the role you would be in the lower end, but if you meet most of what's expected you would be in the upper end.
Contrary to this was the second point of view. In this case, the defenders argued that your salary only represent your "negotiation skills". In other words, the salary will be based on the initial negotiation before joining rather than on performance.
I'm curious about what do you think about this. What does a salary within a salary band mean for you?
What do you think is the best approach to get some revenue between these two?
- Free content until building a user base, then start with "premium" content like for example a course.
- Paid content with a sneak peek. Like when books offer you a free chapter before purchasing it.
Benefits of the first one is that I could evaluate the interest with a lower effort. By contrast, in the second case I would need to offer a "full experience" from day one.
However, if playing the hype correctly, I do believe the second is more prone to provide a bigger revenue, even faster than the first one.
I'm looking for a course, books, or maybe a certification (although I'm not really a fan of this industry).
Some topics I'm interested in are:
- Application security, as in actually focusing on security at the software level. I already work in security (offensive, cloud/infra, security in CI / CD...), but I lack knowledge when talking at the software/algorithm level. For example, identify security vulnerabilities in code (beyond common ones), discuss whether one algorithm is better than other for a particular use-case, etc.
- AI in general, although more particularly into the operations side (this so-called "MLOps"). I know Andrew Ng has an updated course in Coursera covering this topic, but it's free, so I don't need to use this budget.
- Leadership. So far, I have used this year's budget in improving my leadership skills, especially communication skills. I have led a few teams over my career, and so far so good. Everyone loved my way of leading, except for one guy. However, this is an area of constant learning, so any course or must-read book is welcome.
So, in summary, do you have any recommendation for courses or books covering any of those topics that you think are worth?
I'm more interested in courses / video material, as with 1k I could buy dozens of books that I probably I won't have time to read.
