Hi,

I have helped architect embedded vision system.

It's a piece of hardware with a camera, AI accelerator, processor, RT processor etc.

A lot of stuff is going on in this project, also a lot have changed in last just year.

It was easy for me to do the first diagrams in Keynote and present the architecture.

But now it grew so much, that I no longer feel control over it.

I get a lot of feature requests and questions about system behaviour, and it takes me longer and longer to respond.

Is there any software that could really help write down, visualise and keep history of such architecture?

Ideally I could contribute on pieces of it with teammates.

How would you approach such problem?

thanks.

I've a stable career, and get paid decently.

But I don't feel engaged, and feel trapped on meetings etc.

I'm thinking about going full freelance and start with gigs in crypto economy, like hackathons, bounties on gitcoin etc.

Is anyone here making a living this way?

Hey all, I need some advice.

I'm 25 yo.

I've a master degree in cognitive science, during my studies I really enjoyed statistics. I also had a programming course.

Lately I've enrolled for weekend school for Data Visualisation. Where I learn Jupyter notebooks, pandas, matplotlib etc.

I live in Europe, my parents are stuck in Ukraine and I need to start working asap.

- How would you suggest going about internship / junior position? I still feel like I'm not good enough to work.

- Any Data science blogs / job boards that I should follow?

- What makes sense in the portfolio? Some homemade projects in Jupiter / kaggle? Does is make sense to link them to cv?

thanks

I've always thought it was normal for small companies, that employees would go out of their normal work scope to help the product. But for me it's going crazy sometimes.

In the last 12 months I've been doing the following for one company:

- architecting software

- leading an offshore dev team

- writing PRD

- wire framing ecommerce website

- specifying dev portal

- participate in research meetings

- rubber duck debugging with AI developer

- organise MLOps

- made countless presentations proposing problem solutions

- writing software (less and less)

- interviewing candidates

- gantt charting a roadmap

I don't have a problem with that, but it seems like I'm going into the direction of a super generalist. I don't know what am I good at anymore.

Actually I think I know, I can do quick prototypes, know how to sell online, can write decent software. But how does these skills fit into current job market?
