that is generally true, yes.

I chose this approach in case the OP wanted deeper tangible pointers which is only possible with an understanding of their specific situation and kind of projects, location, etc.

I shoould have made this more clearer in my first comment

So it’s not possible to use this with an existing postgresql database?

Ocaml is developing quite well. I wish we could simplify the readability of the language. Reason comes pretty close to this. And a nice django clone in ocaml/reason would lead to a lot of traction

Good call.

I meant situations in early stage startups where some people are literally figuring out what problems to solve or where to put their effort or mind.

One day it’s marketing, taking customer support calls the next. This is probably more tricky though I’m sure there should be a way to algofy this too

Yeah

As long as the algorithm is open source and the design can be agreed upon by both parties.

You may still need a human to make some decisions that feed into the algo. If not you’re probably not doing anything new in which case an algo is anyway better.

This won’t work in positions where you’re expected to work with ambiguity and bring order out of chaos though I’d be interested to think about how that can be quantified.

It really comes down to being transparent and clear. Humans can do it too, machines can do it better.

First prototype was a haptic / audio interface on top of GPS.

Want to start testing it out and polishing it and iterating on other ways to solve challenges one challenge at a time

Looking for people to collaborate with on this project

Perhaps we should judge companies by profit per employee per hour and aim to increase that

Wouldn’t that be better than just valuation ?

The best thing to do in this scenario is to go ahead and interview in a few small companies and startup’s. At least 6 interviews ideally If you have no professional experience yet apply to companies asking for 1y experience. They are still open to fresh graduates and even if they’re not for that role they could open up an internship opportunity.

Don’t prepare for the first three interviews, just treat them as practice.

Prepare a little bit for the next three.

Internships are great if you want to experiment and see what you like. Do a couple internships in different kinds of roles or industries based on what you’re interested in.

Start interviewing without expecting to get a job or preparing. This will allow you to be less stressed during the interview and you will be able to learn better.

Treat interviewing like learning a new programming language. Start with a hello world.

I’m honestly really blown away by this. Are there other such tools out there that do a similar thing?

Businesses should only be of 3 kinds:

1. Those that donate part of their profits to charities working towards the UN SDGs

2. Those that make money while moving the world towards the SDGs

3. Those who collect donations to move the world towards the SDGs

We collaborate through entities called companies or organizations and it’s important that every time we collaborate there is a positive externality.

Now the specifics of the goals can be debated and edited with time.
