Thank you for sharing this!
At Product Weaver we love how mcp-use makes our life easier when accessing MCP servers like Jira, Linear, Notion and many others. We like the clean code we can write, as it's vital for maintaining it.
Ad maiora!
I checked the nuvolaris.io website. It looks like a distro to run FaaS on any Kubernetes infrastructure, including bare-metal (that would save a lot of money). The fact that it has a whole architecture in a box with simple commands could make it worth it a try. I installed on my Mac and it worked at first try with all data backends, Kafka queues, S3-compatible storage... Need a weekend to try it.
It's great you ask yourself the question. And share it.
What do you know about _product_ management?
Have you ever fallen in love with a problem?
How good are you in describing your customer's job?
If you had to reverse-engineer the offering of your past jobs, how would you describe the value they created for users? What would they lose if they stop using them?
Having been a product manager, I would say a big part of the job is "having the responsibility for a goal with zero power to achieve it" and then having to go influence people to get resources, time, etc to work on something. Lots of politics and corporate red tape to deal with.
Yeah. I'm been tempted to move into product management because I care a lot more about the business side than your average dev. Then I need to constantly remind myself of what I've observed ^_^
What kind of job did you switch to after being a PM, if you don't mind me asking?
I've been contracting myself as a one man team (dev + PM) and also starting my own business.
While being a PM, I realized I really miss the technical stuff but I also care about the business stuff too much to be a dev in a company. I'm hoping I can make solo entrepreneurship work so I can play both roles.
I'm not sure there is a corporate career path I'd find satisfying at this point.
A bit on the edge, but superfast development. Saasform for signups and subs management, Flutter for all the frontends, Darklang for serverless backend functions. 100% tested code and GitHub Actions for ci/cd automation.
